Random Irritations

A couple of days ago someone decided to turn on the nearby water turbine.
Bloody thing generates a pulsing hum as well as electricity. it’s usually fine in winter as the windows are shut but there’s a intermittent vibration that’s becoming torture this year.

You should watch the 2017 film " The Sound "

Idiots on bikes with no lights at 6.15am this morning.

Many 'likes' deserved; they seem to have some kind of death wish. Country roads with no street lights and they just blend into roadside foliage etc. Its like they actually plan not to get home/work that day
(& I get zero thanks for not hitting them!)

The estate I live on has a circular road around it 1.3 miles long. It is hugely popular in the evening with both runners and elderly cyclists, all on the road, not pavements. I would say only 50% of cyclists have lights and bright clothing. 70% of female casual runners have bright clothing, 10% of male casual runners and 0% of club runners, male or female.

The number of runners and cyclists, at night, all in black beggars belief.

Why so many want to die early is beyond me.

Having read the article, I don't blame them.
Human waste and fire damage is just not acceptable.

Or they could have let them in, or given them access to toilets and blankets


Proverbs 14:31
31 Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker,
but whoever is kind to the needy honors God

I don't believe in God so, I'm afraid, the above in bold is meaningless to me.

Neither do I, but they are supposed to.

Item "handed to resident" this morning

Not even anywhere on my property (think it's gone to a neighbor by mistake)

But it's a common annoyance of mine. Don't say handed to resident when it is left round back of house ... Just be honest

At least you didn't have DPD delivering a parcel thats supposed to be delivered tomorrow(Tuesday) being delivered yesterday(Sunday) at 7.45....

I think that Bob's point was that the folk who run/manage the cathedral do believe in god, (or at least I'd be darn surprised if they don't) so he was puzzled by them not abiding by a tenet of their faith (ie the proverb he quoted)
