The glories of re-cycling – the ‘Monday morning feeling’ with a difference

I woke shortly after 8 am worried that my full care service and MOT due on Tuesday would run over to Wednesday when i had booked a precious slot at the local re-cycle. We have a new system which I quote like where you book a time on the Internet - a 15 minute slot - and turn up thus avoiding the queues which can often appear.

Another sunny but cold day, another walk in the fields around Wells

What a relief to see fewer people wearing the dreaded mask. We parked out of town and went for a country and woodland walk. Today I sold my foldable bike for fear I would have an accident.

Reaching a decision on something

I am hoping to give a talk on Covid to a group of Christian men. This morning I was perplexed, feeling that if I came on 'full blast' I would alienate people so by strange coincidence I rang the organizer to discuss at about the same time as he was thinking about calling me for the same reason. Any matter irrespective of the detail needs to be seen from three different view points.  Historical -...
