Hope You All Had A Good Weekend

[debris4spike]

Having spent a reasonable amount of time on-line on Friday in the end, I decided I would have a slightly easier weekend on my eyes. I worked both afternoons, so knew I would be using a the computer both shifts, so it was nice to rest my eyes each morning ... although in the end I did some reading, which in itself was fun.

Today it seems another bright day, so far, so hopefully I will get out for a walk later (which probably means it will rain this afternoon!!!)

Work went well on both days, so overall it was a good weekend.

Although we had a visiting speaker at Church on Sunday and I wasn't really impressed with him ... glad I don't live near his Church, as it wouldn't be one I one attend!

Now, as you can see, I have no real news ... so ...




20. Gregor Mendel was born today in 1822. He was an Austrian monk and geneticist who discovered the laws of heredity. Have you ever had your DNA tested?
No ... I know most of my family history going back at least a couple of generations, and on one side, quite a way back, thanks to Tim's research years ago.

21. In 1897 the Tate Gallery in London opened to house collections of International and British modern and contemporary art. Do you like modern art or do you prefer more traditional styles?
I much prefer to look at a picture and see exactly what it is.
It also doesn't help that I am colourblind, so even painters like Turner are paintings I can't truly see.

22. Has today been a good day? What small thing have you achieved today?
The day has been good.
Not yet ... but hopefully later!




Right, let's get on x

Having no permanent minister at present, we have a number of visiting preachers - some we have more or less co-opted onto the preaching rota, and they do services anything from monthly to twice a year depending on other commitments - others we have thanked politely... and not asked back.

Hee - some visiting speakers are great, aren't they. I suppose being bp in the Brethren, I was used to visiting speakers every Sunday ... although I used to hear Dad regularly, and luckily I liked his style of service!

But I have made a mental note of that man's name and if I se hiss name on a future service I think I will be "busy" that morning!!

No, but my DNA is in the database here for criminals haha because of being in prison. My dermatologist actually had hers tested, and she's mostly Irish and Italian but told me she was one percent North African ancestry, and we suspect the Moors :) 21. I hate most modern art. A cubist? Come on. Give me Caravaggio :p
Has it been a good day? Yes as I went out with my friend to eat :P
