But first, a thought for the day. On my favourite radio religious programme TWR an Irish pastor was speaking about his work and told us of one of the most effective prayers he had ever heard 'Lord, make me a link in the chain of thy purpose'.  In other words we should not see ourselves as needing to be in the public eye or loved or be a key part of anything but as part of a chain where we are...

No, this is not diary material but it's something that everyone should be aware of. Its not a question of conspiracy theory but conspiracy fact. Ed. FB is less and less likely to be a source of impartial information. I was shocked to read in a blog the list of casualties. Read the full article here. A List of Facebook Casualties The following list is a work in progress—and these are just the...

Great quote from today's morning religious programme (no better way to start a day) "humility is not about thinking less of yourself but thinking about yourself less."  This has nothing to do with today's topic. ***** I receive many unrequited offers to help me with SEO, web development etc. Most of them are from India, and from a private person probably fishing for a small percentage of profits...

The moat is very still and clear and the weeds can be seen with great clarity.  A couple of allotmenteers with a sense of humor regularly dress...

We had a full house at Glastonbury, Chalice Well. For the first time it was uncomfortably crowded. The cakes ran out and who wants to stand in a long queue. Mind you, everyone talks to each other and you could not have asked for a more pleasant day. To my relief, very few of the women wear make-up which makes the real person easier to see. Why do women plaster make up on their faces. Back to...
