Hi Ann,
This guy is Alan Fearon he and his wife really work hard to help others in the church and don't just speak it. I think you know his son.

https://www.youtube.com/live/NqXuDYlRQhI?feature=shareJust so, Ian. Sad how we humans manage to just see the bits we want to see and don't seem to be capable of seeing the whole. Right at the beginning, when Tom's ancestor was a prime mover in establishing the Free Church, I'm sure he, and others like him, were looking for an escape from the doctrine that restricted their lives and worship and seeking freedom for their own consciences. Sad that it only led to more rigid interpretations and even more restrictions. Was that what the intention was? I have to wonder.
It's the same trap that all ideologues fall into. They interpret original thought in a way that suits them, sometimes establish a movement, set rigid parameters and become fanatic - thus harming both themselves (in the end) and others that follow behind them. Of course, the opposite is also true - without ideals, society becomes unworkable, harming its members. Balance is what we need in this world and Something to hold on to to maintain that balance.
It is amazing how colour can change a drawing to 3 dimensional art.Good morning everyone on an all things bright and beautiful start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north. Art room now decorated and floor about half done. Might get completed today given a steady wind. Before that though there is washing to hang on the line to take advantage of some free sunshine. Art bit, color added so that’s three basalts done, one more I think and then on to something else. No idea what, I am a person of whim (I moved there when Megrim-Vagary lost the red wall in a fit of pique). Anyhow, have the best day that you can and alway in the best possible taste according to the late, great Kenny Everett’s character whose name is perhaps best not mentioned. Koffy, must sort out some lofty.

Thanks Ian...Morning everyone from a sunny, wonderfully blue skied Little America. Swipey offered 5.2 @ 7.00 (I'm obviously still adjusting my body clock) but what my fbg was or what that means can't be deduced from that. @dunelm thanks for another wonderful piece of Bassalt art - is that a genre? Rapid progress on that garage conversion. @gennepher thanks for the creative , sulphurous sky or not. @Krystyna23040 wonderful news on the 5s and going to Starbucks - are they. perhaps, connected?@Annb star of the day. Fbg and weight being tamed. @jjraak you can keep Potter thanks. Looks like either Levy/Uncle Joe has been rebuffed by Negelsman/Potch/guy at the local Chicken shop or the rumours of a takeover are right. Kaching Joe. @alf_Josiah is today the day?* Boat Races went well so a bijou glassette of Tempranillo was in order since I can't take it with me. Polly and the Phenols are trending lately. Enjoy your day as much as possible but do remember you have responsibilities as well as rights.
*just read your post so obviously not
Thanks for that video, lindisfel. Very interesting and uplifting. Yes I have met his son but can't say that I know him very well. Very pleasant and helpful young man.https://www.youtube.com/live/NqXuDYlRQhI?feature=share

Not met this son, but his mum and dad are very helpful. His mum took Marjorie and I to Newcastle nine years ago to get my first pacemaker. Alan took me for laser treatment in December. They also get presents to give to poor kids at Christmas.Thanks for that video, lindisfel. Very interesting and uplifting. Yes I have met his son but can't say that I know him very well.

Maybe they are @ianpspurs. Starbucks are on my blacklist and I never normally go there because of their UK tax avoidance. Yesterday I ditched my principles and went there. We had such a warm welcome and so did the dogs that principles will be ditched for good and we will visit again.wonderful news on the 5s and going to Starbucks - are they. perhaps, connected?
Yes, I do completely agree with you. I was dreadfully skinny when diagnosed with T2D and put on weight immediately I went on insulin. The weight started dropping as soon as I was able to cut down (then cut out) insulin.I think Ann reducing her insulin as well as carbs caused the weight loss.
Insulin is described in T2 as the fat hormone.
That's one of the reasons a calorie is not a calorie and we humans are not calorimeters.

Do you avoid Amazon as well? I'm not keen on ITV but they now show rugby so principles are put on hold. Glad Starbucks is back on your visit list and the dogs like it. We also buy Starbucks coffee beans but not for the dogsMaybe they are @ianpspurs. Starbucks are on my blacklist and I never normally go there because of their UK tax avoidance.

Glad you liked it. Final one here* - whole evening's worth. Better than watching Call the Midwife, Michael McIntyreThank you Ian
Excellent Celtic music in appropriate scenery, .
I shall bookmark that for when I think of the areas I love.

Sadly I have also put my principles on hold with Amazon and continue to shop with them even though they dodge their UK taxes and don't treat their staff very well.Do you avoid Amazon as well?

Thanks for the art but hug for needing Tramadol. Hopefully it will work and today will be at least comfortable. Take care. I assume Pastafarians eschew thoughts and prayers. So just leave them on the side of life's plate with an elegant, I'd really rather you didn't.Good morning everyone from the start of another pleasant day here in the dark and dangerous north. SNP tossed a three sided coin into the air and it landed on the rim. Have to just wait and see on that one. Meanwhile the floor is now laid in my new art room and things are beginning to take shape. The other side of the dividing wall has now been sanded and painted and Mrs Miggins is drilling holes in walls ready for some shelving. Not a good night last night and teeny tiny tommy tramadol was consulted this morning. Art bit - a new start. Have the best day that you can. I must now make lofty.
