@mensajero my grandad was a very pale white man! For his 80th birthday, just after his wife had died, he wanted to go to a curry house - something he'd never have done while my nan was alive, out of respect for her dislike of Asian food.

I was always surprised by him, but none more than that night! Because the staff were talking about themselves, and not giving anybody much attention, in what turned out to be a fairly unspoken dialect! But then my grandad replied to them in their own language and dialect... He'd learned to speak it fluently while fighting in (what was then called) Burma during world war 2.

They were beyond surprised, to say the least! And we got great service that night!

He had the hottest curry they offered that evening, to all our concerns. My memory, one of the last before he died, is his normally pale face, turned bright red with sweat running off his head, and a huge grin on his face πŸ™‚

@DevotionalTreasures Looking forward to reading this one. Especially as I still don't know what propitiation means

@Seabreeze777 "You are beautiful beyond description" is a song which doesn't seem to have aged!

I remember learning to play it, and lead worship with it, back in the 80s and 90s πŸ™‚

@mensajero My grandad was born and raised in India. As a family with a gun, he was often sent out with his brothers to deal with Tigers that had started attacking villages

@MaryMamuzich Thanks Mary

I'm 44 on Saturday. Nathan turns 16 on 3rd August πŸ™‚

@Olamide I raise you this one - the future of British policing, that isn't so in the future as we'd like to hope

Gotta replace a part on my mountain bike... 😞

On the upside it's gonna give me a lovely little series of Andy B 2 Minute Videos πŸ™‚

And on the other upside, I'm blessed by God with both the tools, and the ability, to replace it!

An young couple requested prayers for their 1 year old child admitted in the NICU.
Please pray

@MaryMamuzich thanks Mary - will be taking 2 weeks off digital creation stuff! and enjoying some more cycling πŸ™‚

I will sing about the Lord's faithful love forever; I will proclaim Your faithfulness to all generations with my mouth.β€”Psalm 89:1

Looking forward to a much needed, long weekend, and two birthdays. Should be a good time for some down time, chilling, and family time and resting!
