A day of virtual church services

Today's word – calamity I attended a very simple virtual communion service from somewhere in Shropshire. It was quite skillfully done; people are getting better and better at using Zoom; needs must as we say. I must say I do miss going to church and I hope this wretched farce will soon come to an end.

A day of encouragement – useful stats

Today I rose early, at about five o'clock, and had a sneaky look at the computer to see what overnight communications had arrived. I looked at my viewing figures for my 5G site.

And now for something completely different

I seem to be banging on about Corona and other problems but then why should I apologise. I do follow Samuel Pepys' example; he was very much concerned with the matters of the day especially the Great Fire of London which was started in a bakery so we are told. I do try to take time off. One of my main interests in life is healing and all its aspects not to mention diagnosis which can be a form...
