Crazy world

Just a reflection on our crazy country!! This week I learnt that due to the rise in price of copper - mostly due to China`s rapid expansion of their power grid - that the scrap value of the 1 pence coin is now approximately 1.5 pence!!
Here in the North East we have had unremitting rain the last few days and the garden looks like an indonesian rain forest with the combination of warmth and wetness, but in the south east they are facing the worst drought in over a decade with hosepipe bans being enforced all over the place.
Anyway I have been offered a new job - the most significant change since becoming a Consultant 12 years ago - I can`t tell you the details as yet because it`s a secret and if I did I would have to kill you!! Rest assured that ultimate power is involved, lives are in the balance and resistance is futile, more travelling is promised etc watch here for more details!!
Jonathan is 17 tomorrow and today we will be going up to Newcastle to have a big family Pizza Express lunch in God`s capital - Newcastle upon tyne. We will be seeing Angus` sister Samantha and her family and then looking at Motorbikes for a bit!!!!
Other bits and bobs - for a great read of fantasy humour a la Princess Bride get the 10th Kingdom - absolutely hilarious book and very imaginitive!! For a top scary film watch the russian "Night Watch" the first of a trilogy.
Preaching on Sunday evening - topic is Life`s purpose and how to achieve it or practical holiness, or read the bible stupid!!!!
