I posted a little while ago about the crisis regarding a shortage of truck drivers in the UK, & asking me to go back

All I can say is I have a clean licence, time motivation, essential experience, am old enough, and have opportunity. I just don't have the stupid [EU legacy nonsense] CPC card (the one that lets you use the licence, that lets you use your driving licence - yep, that one)

I contacted some haulage firms, as did a friend of a friend, all of whom are DESPERATE for drivers.

But, it seems, that hauliers aren't interested in people like me. You know, over 25 years old, more than 2 years experience, and with a clean licence, and the opportunity to help the nation out during this crisis. I didn't even get replies from the ones I either phoned and had a telephone conversation with, or wrote to.

Can you think of any other situations recently where the government and media may have, similarly, magnified a real, but 'overcomeable' problem, into a global crisis?

A favourite postal delivery 🙂

Andy B 2 Minute Video, Dehumidifiers, Control and Trust, S4, E17

We have a dehumidifier in our home. Because, in our last home, we had horrendous damp, which led to serious problems with mould.

And we were thankful that we were able to get some great advice about which sort of dehumidifier to buy. And so we bought the type we were advised to buy.

And ours really is superb. You set the humidity level you want in your home, which you can find in the manual, and you switch it on. That’s it – other than emptying the tank when it is full of water. [READ MORE]

Just a thought…

you're welcome 😎

Got fuel. Got food. Feel blessed (also, got DingDash, so I can still chat to my global family)

Starting today, we've given our 2nd rest day each week to God. So, today, we've filmed our next episodes of Little Blessings Online, Endurance, the following Story Time with Dave the Dog, and Art Video for the next episode of Little Blessings

We've also filmed our 1st episode of Marriage Matters...just Jo & I - I last night - during our weekly Date Night, having a blast, and I almost exploded my mug of tea all over the studio when Jo replied to a question she didn't know I was gonna ask.

Marriage Matters is our brand new Podcast: Real Talk, Real Life and #KeepingItReal... encouragement for Christian marriages around the world 🙂

First episode airs Saturday 23rd October from 4pm, via your favourite podcast provider, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram (if they've got em working by then!) & via our website where you'll find all of the above, AND a transcript.

Watch It - Hear It - Read It

Andy B

Little Blessings Online, Season 5, Episode 3, Daniel and a Dream
(and yes, more Dave the Dog!)

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!

Story Time with Dave the Dog

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 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! [READ MORE]

Endurance, Series 3, Episode 6, Training With Others

Endurance is your weekly spiritual workout, whether you think of yourself as a beginner, an intermediate, or advanced!
Explore with us as we talk about ‘Training with Others’.

As usual, we have #GoDeeper with Andy B and #GoDo with Steven and Nathan.

Go Deeper with Andy B, as he digs deeper into the subject of training with others.

He talks about the impact that encouragement has on athletes in sports events.

He relates an occasion when he was cycling, and Steven came alongside him while running, and the influence their individual efforts had on one another.

He also expands the wisdom in Ecclesiastes, concerning the strength two people have together as opposed to one person on their own, because different strengths and weaknesses complement one another in different ways.

In response to my letter urging me to consider going back to trucking [for a short time!] I've made 3 enquiries to 3 companies all currently recruiting drivers....and have met nothing but a wall of silence, so far.

Crisis? What crisis!

If I've got nothing back by the end of next week I'll be contacting the Lord (is a woman a Lord? Or a Lady?) who sent the letter and asking why they wasted the price of all those 1,000,000 stamps since a highly prized professional, with 15 years plus experience, and a clean licence, actually isn't all that valued or wanted!?! Also that I'm not at all surprised by what I've so far discovered and encountered...

Since this was a response to a crisis thing on my part, and since I've been quite happily not employed for some time, I have plenty of time on my side ;-)
