Still an all time classic.

Great gig by The Proclaimers in Liverpool tonight with a really good support act Amelia Coburn.

Today in 1216 saw the death of King John, arguably the worst king ever to rule England. A tyrant, a coward, a liar and a traitor, contemporaries accused him of cruelly persecuting his enemies and sexually assaulting the women at his court. Some quotes from the chronicles:

Taking a rather special service at Colby Methodist this morning at 10.30.

Wow. That was the most entertaining game of rugby I’ve ever seen. Extraordinary level of attacking from both sides. Defenders chasing shadows. Tremendous game FT Northampton Saints 71 Bath Rugby 48. and Bath played really well too.

In Covent Garden. I may have imbibed.

Congratulations Wakefield Trinity. A magnificent performance and even better achievement. Astonishing turnaround by the club (and maybe an argument for retaining promotion and relegation). Commiserations to my Wire friends. Maybe next year. FT Wakefield Trinity 23 Warrington Wolves 10.

Wonderful night of Gaelic singing and Celtic music at the Gaiety Theatre tonight. The island’s own Ruth Keggin with Scottish harpist Rachel Hair followed by Allt, three from Ireland with Julie Foulis from Scotland. Very much our sort of night.

I did not see that coming. I doubt any one did. Wigan’s attack just didn’t turn up and their defence disintegrated with the yellow card. Congratulations Wakefield for an excellent, professional performance. So, another new name on the Super League trophy.

How we feelin? #BroncosCountry

I’m shocked I tell you. None of us saw this coming.

Taking the service at Castletown Methodist this morning at 10.30.

There is a lot of negativity- entirely understandably- on the platform today. So for some light relief, my second grandson came into the world this week, and here are some dahlias from my garden.

Yeah, they are laughing at the UK

What an Open Championship. Royal Birkdale was a brilliant test of golf and created a magnificent event. Congratulations to Ryan Fox. What a day for New Zealand golf.

Taking the service at Colby Methodist this morning at 10.30.

After England scored, Argentina suddenly decided to actually play football and lo and behold, they were a lot better than England at it.

Blocking bots is surprisingly therapeutic.

Taking the service this evening at Ballabeg Methodist at 6.30.

Taking the service at Glen Maye Methodist this morning at 10.00.

Israel's Christian hostility "Israel destroyed the shrine of Saint Simon Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, in the village of Shama' in southern Lebanon. It was 1,995 years old." This shrine was approximately 1,925 to 1,995 years old. #SaintSimonPeter, #Christianity,

One of the obvious problems with a under-16 social media ban is that it won't work. (60%+ of Australian under-16s are still using these platforms). But it will make people feel like something has been done so they won't tackle the content, which is the real issue.

Taking the service at Colby Methodist this morningst 10.30

Taking the service at Peel Methodist this morning at 10.30.

Being a Sale Sharks fan is not good for the heart. Embarrassing collapse at Kingston Park.

Taking the service at St. John’s Methodist Church at 11am.

Evil is as Evil does.

Hyping up Hantavirus to attack Trump, & the collapse of US disease control, serves only to increase anxiety. If you are not worried about dying from influenza, why are you worried about an exceptionally rare disease? No one should be broadcasting on this without a respected expert included.

I have been privileged to visit some magnificent places on God’s Earth, but Iceland is something else again. We’ll be back.

This is absolutely true. The UK is rudderless because there doesn’t seem to be any focus on a path forward just jumbled policies and U-turns.

The most stunning scenery I have seen in person. Goðfoss waterfall, Iceland.

Agreed

🤣🤣🤣🤣🙄oh Mary, come and listen to this

The overwhelming majority of politicians are singularly ill-equipped to be one.

Castle Green, Hereford

Bishop‘s Meadow, Hereford.

One of my great delights is walking through public parks and I’ve realised I’ve not posted many photos of them. So today I went to Nobles Park in Douglas, Isle of Man (actually to play bowls).

Saeda al-Shrafi, a Palestinian mother, detained by Israeli forces while fleeing northern Gaza, said the conditions were dire: minimal food, unclean drinking water, a single shared toilet, no access to medical care, and a ban on speaking. #PalestinianPrisoners www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/li...

This is monstrous but unsurprising. Netanyahu‘s sycophants are devoid of humanity.
