My wife did that a few weeks ago. She likes a bit of sparkle when the clocks go back. Today we plugged in the lights on the bushes out front. At some point I'm going to run a new wire out to that socket and put a wifi relay on it so we don't need a separate timer. It will also mean we can tell...

I still don't feel like I'm firing on all cylinders, not sure if I've still got the very tail end of whatever bug got me earlier in the month or if it's just the cold weather. I got a run in today, although it was another run-walk-run-walk thing. It's not often it takes me until this late in the...

There's a difference between "God can heal" and "God will heal". We don't necessarily understand why God heals one and not another but if we accept that God is God and we are not we have to also accept that sometimes God doesn't heal for reasons we may not grasp.

It's not necessary to avoid the topic, just discuss it so that people can respectfully express their views. I've had a few discussions with people I disagree with politically where we've talked about why we believe our preferred party's methods are better than the alternatives. The people whose...

I got my 15k run in, without breaking any speed records at all. It makes a bit over 35km I've run in the last three days. Perhaps it's not surprising my legs feel like dead weights right now.

One of my monthly challenges is to complete a 15k run. I'm hoping I can get that done this week, the deadline is the end of the month so I'm running out of time. It doesn't have to be a fast run, just cover the distance. In theory if I tell my watch I'm running I can walk it and it will still...

My last church did a Christmas Eve service and lots of people from the community came along. Most of them were members of other churches that didn't do a Christmas Eve service, so we didn't expect them to stay.

Not much running lately, but did a gentle 10k yesterday and another one today. Lost some time earlier in the month with a bug and then lost some more time because we went away for a few days. I'm hoping I can hit my running targets and still earn the badges on my tracker software before the...

It's great to discuss politics at Thanksgiving dinner. It saves a fortune at Christmas.

One year I tried sucking on menthol crystals. You only need a tiny little crystal, and it avoids having a lump of sugar in your mouth for any length of time and all the dental issues that can cause. It's not easy to find menthol crystals these days. I'm not sure if I even still have my little...

The silly fringes of the Democrats can't even say what a woman is, even as they demand equality for whatever undefined group the term "women" might refer to today.

A voicemail doesn't really do any good unless they leave you with a means to contact them, and if they do that then you can contact them. If I ever got hold of the number of the telemarketer types you can be sure I'd call them at every single mealtime.

The Democrats insist they haven't abandoned the working class although it seems much of what they try and do either alienates the working class or prices them out of everything in sight. Generally it seems the working class have more pressing concerns than worrying about pronouns, and the...

In my student days literally every single time there was an election for any position one of the ballot options was some variation of "none of the above". If that option won the election was invalidated and another election was held, with all of the candidates in the invalidated election barred...

True, but if I'm whiling away time waiting for my car to be ready I'd rather not be at the mercy of however long it takes my phone to figure I have a voicemail. But if I'm whiling away time waiting for my car, and a call comes in from the general area of the dealership at about the time I'm...

I remember his line, that was something like "if you have to decide who to vote for, you ain't black". Because, you know, all black people are a uniform mass and they are apparently incapable of individual thought. When Democrat candidates take black votes for granted to this kind of level it's...

Nasty comments about veterans aren't helpful, I won't argue with that. Jeffrey Epstein is a bit of a wild card because we don't know about all sorts of other associations. Presumably some very powerful people want that information buried or I imagine it would have surfaced by now. Whether it...

I think a key thing regarding what a Christian should do is to remember a few things: 1. We're electing a president, not a pastor. 2. Voting for Candidate A over Candidate B doesn't mean we approve of every single thing that A says or does, merely that we think A will do a better job than B...

I think whoever won that would be the case. People talk as if the Harris ticket would lead to a nice easy ride with no nasty bumps in the road but I think the Democrats are so obsessed with minority groups and throwing money at everything in sight that they would be economically disastrous...

Also GWB served two terms and then stood down. Term limits mean he would never stand again. There's no need to neutralise a candidate who is already prohibited from standing for another term. Trump served one term and failed to win a second term, leaving him free to try again as often as he...
