A unique route today...including our overcoming of a fallen tree. Turn round, or go over? Over of course!
Plenty of mud today, too.
But, just like our lives, some time with a hose (and a brush) can clean off all that junk that is sticking to us!

With Peter up til past 10pm due to the weekly noise pollution that forces us to either watch super loud films through our surround sound system (cranked up to 11) or loud music (cranked to 11), we're currently playing monopoly, while reliving some great tunes from albums we got rid of years ago....but man did they have some great tunes!
P!nk. Anastacia. Guns n Roses. Nirvana. Evanescence. Manic Street Preachers. Michael Jackson. Red Hot Chilli Peppers. The Cure. Queen.
And more...
Detached houses have their upsides ;-) especially on Monday nights when our only hope is drowning out the dreadful dirge from next door that the council have deemed 'nearly a statutory nuisance, but not quite'
Andy B 2 Minute Video, Velcro Tabs, and Spot The Difference!, S4, E14
We have several items in our recording studio that are nearly identical. They may be the same length, or the same brand, they may just look really similar. And this can make setting up the studio entertaining, when you’re trying to connect one specific microphone, or whatever.
Andy B loves simple solutions to life’s troubles, so when he had given up trying to be patient plugging into cables, that he can never tell apart, he came up with a solution – velcro.
Depending on where you live in the world, it may have a different name – perhaps pull and hook, or something similar. But the point is that one side of the strip of fabric sticks to the others side, so when you wrap it around, say, a cable, it stays where you left it, and you can tidy up cables neatly [READ MORE]

Got our ration of diesel, so Jo can do all 4 days at work this week
Next week is far away (& scripture tells us take things 1 day at a time) - so we'll deal with it 1 day at a time
People are aggressive, impatient, irritable on edge. shop staff are nervous and quickly defensive - me not trying to put in more than the ration they set, invoked a shocked smile and a visible relaxing of her shoulders (perhaps also because the guy in front of me at the till had just jumped the queue, in front of me in the shop, just because he could, because he was on a motorbike, before spilling petrol everywhere because his guilt was obvious for all to see - so not worth it...petrol on a hot motoribke?!?)
A chap with Jerry cans apologised profusely, but pointed out he was a gardener and that was for his livelihood. At least he didn't try and push in front of me, but I did challenge him as he was edging in between me & the motorbike and tensions were plenty high enough already.
Madness and fear!!
Little Blessings Online, Season 5, Episode 3, Daniel and That Dream!
https://www.berrybunch.family/little-blessings-online-season-5-episode-3-daniel-and-a-dream/
In Season 5, Episode 3, of Little Blessings Online, JoJo and Andy B talk about dreams, good dreams, not so good dreams and strange dreams and JoJo has to call Andy B back to earth as he daydreams about food! What do you daydream about?
Story Time
In this episode, JoJo tells us more about Daniel. This time Daniel needs to figure out what the King dreamed and what that dream meant, or he will be in big trouble; like Dave says poor Daniel will have a serious ‘Time out’!
What is Dave the Dog’s thoughts on dreams and what do you think Dave dreams about?
What will Dave the Dog make of the King’s strange dream and are Dave’s dreams stranger then the King’s?
Art Time
For art time, JoJo encourages us to make a dreamy drawing. It’s quick and simple art time this week, so you might want to play the clip again as it was so quick and just to make sure you were not dreaming!

No fuel then!
We tried 5 petrol stations this evening to fill the car, so we didn't have to go out tomorrow...Jo has enough for two days right now, maybe - this situation blew up real quick! 72 hours....or less?
Met a guy tonight, who was nearly at the point of tears. He's spent the entire weekend ringing around garages, and then driving around, trying to find some fuel...he has 30 miles left in his car...he do any know what to do
Panic buyers....government blames the road haulage...everyone blames Brexit....but Brexit isn't the problems and neither is the RHA
The government was warned, and ignored the warnings...Brexit simply shone a light on the already existing problem
Meanwhile I'm waiting for my letter from the government asking me to consider returning to lorry driving....but I couldn't get there even if I wanted to
We've just got the older boys down to pray for our nation...we met many frightened and worried people who tonight
What a state our nation is in!

Going by the constitution of several nations, Joseph was doubly disqualified to be a prime minister. One, he wasn't a citizen of Egypt. Two, he was a convicted criminal. But God's mercy and grace located Joseph and covered his limitations. Look away from your physical limitations. With God, all things are possible.

Andy B 2 Minute Video, Reflection and Progress - a written post!
I’m working on two books at the moment.
And by working, I mean I have a title cover for both; I’ve got one book basically ready for publishing, and one book about half the way through as I rewrite some previous works into what is already a 3 part series.
I’ve been working on writing a book for nearly 20 years…the one I began back then is still where it was when I first wrote it…it’s a good book, but I’ve never really finished it.
But as I look back over our time doing BerryBunch, and especially my Andy B 2 Minute Videos (we’re on Season 4 now, by the way) it’s super encouraging to see where I began, the journey I’ve been on up to this point, what it has become now, and what is already pushing me on towards! [READ MORE]

There's no account in the Bible that Joseph revenged the injustice meted out to him by Potiphar and his wife. Looking back, Joseph realized that without the injustice, he won't be a prime minister. Actually, Potiphar and his wife played vital roles in helping Joseph to become a prime minister. Love your enemies and don't use the weapon of prayer to kill those who God has positioned to push you to your throne through the instrumentality of injustice and wickedness. Everything is working together for your good if you truly love God.
Andy B 2 Minute Video, Rocking Chair Worries, S4, E13
Andy B took Jo for her return trip to the dentist, but while Andy and Jo share many traits and interests, one thing Jo does REALLY well, is not worrying about things she either has no control over, or things that haven’t yet come to pass.
With a hyper-sensitivity to needles, Andy would have been worrying for two weeks straight, letting the anxiety grow, thinking through the various things that could go wrong. Positive side of that trait, is the ability to read ahead, see the problems before they happen and prevent them – which makes event planning really easy.
But much like that rocking chair, how much time have we lost, or energy spent, getting busy with action on that rocking chair, until we start t feel seasick from all that rocking, but making absolutely no progress...[READ MORE]

I have decided to persevere with the podcast idea from months ago, and added a new episode with my classic post today called "On The Wings of Love."

Andy B 2 Minute Video, Baking Trays, Yorkies and Spiritual Growth, S4, E12
Andy B loves his kitchen, and he loves kitchen shops, or departments with cooking equipment in them.
For ages now, he has been trying to make Yorkshire Puddings, using his super cheap cupcake baking tray.
In one way it is perfectly functional – it has a number of bowl like shapes, that help Yorkshire Puddings grow into the right shape as they cook. But, on the other hand, it is super cheap, ultra thin metal, and has the non-stick ability of super glue!
So, Andy B finally invested in new baking trays to make his Yorkshire Puddings. And now, everything is all golden!
