  • Not quite the same, but my Sunday school teacher, who was also one of my parent’s best friends, was my secondary school English teacher. I was always nervous when I got a bad grade in my class, or stepped out of line he’d go tell them. To his credit, he never did, he also didn’t treat me any different to all the other kids in the class. When in church, he was back to being “parent’s friend mode”. Good guy, he was a mentor to me outside of school and I miss him.






  • As the old saying goes, if you are cold go find the cat. She’s already found the warmest spot in the house. My childhood cats used to fight over a hammock we had hanging over one of the radiators, it never ceased to amaze me how long they’d spend in that thing and the heat never bothered them. If you are concerned kitty is going to burn herself, invest in a fire guard which is a mesh barrier usually used to stop toddlers getting to the fire but is also effective for curious cats.

    George W Bush certainly caused more deaths, was just as decisive and is the reason Trump was allowed to happen. OK, so he’s got a bit more of a charming personality and gives Michelle Obama candy sometimes, but that doesn’t absolve him. Doesn’t absolve Trump either, he’s a loud mouthed buffoon who tried to start a Civil War. He has followers who will literally do anything he tells them to do. The idea of him having a second term absolutely terrifies me.
