Early this morning I could not sleep so I listened to radio five live and I heard a policeman from Durham was close to tears because he was trying his best but they were receiving different and conflicting information almost every day for example whether to wear masks not wear masks, one day they are told to wear gloves the next day they are told not to wear gloves. This is really sadism. I felt...

A hunt for a ‘P’ – my first cycle ride for 50 years
The weather being fine, we decided to go to the canal and take our bikes for a first time together ride. This will be my first proper cycle ride for about 50 years and the old saying is correct that you never forget - give or take a few wobbles. We rode along towards Bath and then enjoyed the Weir, where there was absolutely nobody else around and we enjoyed it. On the return journey I had an...
A saint in disguise? – not just another gardening job!
I have a gardening job to do which I visited yesterday.

This morning I woke after my usual assortment of dreams and decided that the best remedy was hearing the gospel of Jesus being preached. My favourite preacher is Colin Smith. He is from the Free...
What I hear you ask am I wearing on my head
I have designed my own particular face covering to defend myself against Covid 19. You may spot certain weaknesses in the design of my original concept. I can tell you that it is no more effective than facemasks. A Covid 19 virus ( actually quite a useful worker in the body) has no trouble getting through all round the side of masks aided by the ingress or explanation of air. These viruses are...
