This morning I rose early, around 5:30 AM, to one of the most spectacular dawn choruses I've heard for some time. A multitude of birds, a wonderful orchestra which set me off for the day.  After making an excellent coffee which I sweeten with coconut oil not sugar, which I now find makes me sick followed by a quick glance at the paper and onto my computer. I have been given the name of a great...

Outside Tesco's this morning. The queue to get in bends in and out on itself. I reckon it's good to take about 50  min to get in the store. The bigger the store, the longer the queue. I'm getting to like corner shops these days. I decided to do a dowsing to see what proportion of people by age group felt that a lockdown was necessary and I got the following; age group 18 to 30 – 7% age group 31...

It is not often that I reproduce someone else's material (with permission)  but I'm so moved by this letter from a long-standing colleague of mine, David Dees, but I do so  in the interest of helping us all myself included to get a better attitude when we are struck down with some disease.

What a lovely morning it is so later on off to do some mowing for a lady in Peasedown. I had two conversations today on business matters which were productive.  I say that because many conversations at the appearance of communication without actually communicating.  With both of them, I hope grounds of mutual respect as a starting point the conversation was with someone who is the Christian...

For me, Sunday wouldn't be Sunday without some type of religious worship and I won't let the fear mongers beat me. The Church of England has been enterprising enough to produce a church online website where we can join them for weekly virtual services, screened each Sunday with streaming at other times. It's easy enough to operate, a few clicks and you are there. I visited All Souls Langham...
