Well how many times can you be 35 again? I'm not sure what today holds but we shall see. Just been to church and that's helped a bit. They were all very welcoming and asking about how I'd got on in Australia. They are a sweet lot. Some people, without knowing the congregation, have made assumptions about them, notable the Vicar of Old Trafford and men's group friend of mine. The assumptions are based on his knowledge of the former rector and the fact that Emmanuel is in Didsbury. He is wrong to make those assumptions. I do feel at home there and can genuinely say I've missed the services and 'fellowship', as they say in these circles. However, I shall continue to attend the morning service from now on, rather than the evening.
On this day Leeds United beat Manchester United in the third round of the FA cup. What more coult possibly go wrong?
About Me
- Socrates
- Four children. Four Grandchildren, two of each. Big ski accident in 2008, then vertibral artery dissection in 2009 resulting in loss of one quarter visual field, in turn loosing driving licence. On the political left and stood as an independant in the 2005 general election standing up for the NHS against Privatisation. Looks like I was right. Since then a Brexit Remainer, but now accept we need to move on, and live with the consequences. Support Black Lives Matter, disgusted at the murder of George Floyd and others. Hugely relieved that Trump is on his way out. He has brought great shame to the American people. Proud to be Woke, though I wont go on about it.
