Andy B 2 Minute Video, Mud, Bicycles and the Cycle of Life, S4, E16
When we go cycling, things can stick to our tyres. If you go mountain biking, you might end up with plenty of mud liberally applied to your bike. And if you’re really unfortunate, you’ll end up with a clay/grass mix that will stick to the outside of your tyre, and weight your bike down enough that you struggle up hills you can normally cycle up, without much effort or thought.
Well this is exactly what happened to Jo, and her bike, when we were out Mountain Biking one day. [READ MORE]

Just a thought…

Wow. 2 hours out and about and finally found some fuel. Filled up for Jo, so she can keep getting to work since public transport is no use for her due to when and where she works.
Tension out there was palpable. But most people were clearly just filling their cars to get to work, and just grateful to get some
Except the guy in front....really!?!?!? Cos you needed that extra £10 in your range rover....those are the people causing a fuel crisis, buying fuel they clearly don't need...nobody ever puts £10 in a shiny range rover. That's what happened in 2000, when people bought fuel they didn't, 'cos you know just in case....'
It's the grief and selfishness of people that gets to me
And the hyper agrrssive guy venting at me that he was a key worker and needs fuel .. while doing so while parking up, less than 50 yards from a fuel station, with fuel, where he could buy fuel...if he needs it, go buy some...they've got plenty right now
In recent days I have had a reader from Saudi Arabia reading my devotionals, which is rare and a total privilege to spiritually support them. I know that being a Christian in Saudi Arabia is dangerous; please join with me in praying for this individual brother/sister.

Andy B 2 Minute Video, Wells, Digging and Jesus, S4, E15
When a well runs out of water, it doesn’t necessarily mean that there is no water left – just that the water table may have dropped, so our well runs out of water. When we dig down a bit further, we find that water again, and our fill will be filled with water once more.
And in our relationship, and walk, as disciples of Jesus Christ, we can often feel as though God has moved away from us. [READ MORE]

Gather the kids! It's time for another life lesson with Safety Steve!
"16% of petrol stations now have fuel" (rather than the 10% figure over last weekend). that's a direct quote from the UK Government (well the first part is - the bit in brackets is the rest of the equation)
or, 74% of petrol stations in the UK currently have insufficient, or no, fuel - like our local one, that is dry of fuel again
The UK is in an unusually difficult situation regarding fuel supplies. and [no] it won't get better overnight; [yes] it is affecting many people and [no] it won't simply go away just because it will [eventually] return to normal
And, unlike the BBC - who love inciting a panic - I do not believe that tanker drivers in military uniforms will cause widespread panic - actually I suspect they'll receive a round of applause wherever they turn up.
And I also like the truth - all of the truth, because I'm a big boy and can make my own mind up correctly when presented with the facts.
Now for the British thing, I'm off for a cup of tea to sort the world out
Today's devotional follows on from yesterday's post about prayer in trials.

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!!
