Squiggle, that's sad news. She must have had symptoms for some time and it sounds as if she may have left it too late before going to her doctor.

 

I'm back from the funeral which went well.

Speculation on the BBC news today about who and where the first woman bishop in the C of E will be. The Southwell & Nottingham diocese is the first which could, and then Gloucester. My aunt, the nun, lives in Southwell very near the cathedral.

One of the women mentioned is Vivienne Faull. She became a chaplain at Gloucester cathedral in 1990 and was one of the first women to be ordained as a priest in 1994. I was at that service and I have met her when she came to our church. She's now the Dean of York.

It would not be surprising if she was one of those interviewed for the position at Gloucester. It will be quite some time before any announcement is made. Interviews early January, annoucement around Easter.

Whoever is selected will be because they are the right person. It would be wrong to rush to become the first diocese to appoint a woman bishop.

 

 

The view from my window at this present moment looks a bit like this though the top half of the photo is more vivid that my view but the bottom half is similar though I have houses rather than a church.

I am glad the funeral went well EL I can't see an image in your last post, though it could be just my computer.

Squiggle, I'll post a link to my picture as it's quite attractive.

Oh dear it told me it was forbidden EL, not having much luck am I?

Squiggle, I can't see my picture either now and I get the same message as you do when I click on the link. So it's something to do with the site storing the picture.

It was of an attractive picture called "Streaky Red Sky at Sunset - Dusk Sky Wallpaper". If you do a Google image search on that it's the only result.

 

Aw that's sad news squiggle so young, and so fast, and right before christmas. Her poor family

El, I'm glad you're funeral went well, my thoughts go out to that family too

aww this is so sad no age

squiggle - your news is sad as well

sorry EL post is forbidden-was looking forward to seeing your wall paper -couldn't see you photo either

night everybody and summer

Good morning everyone

 

Sunny but cold and frosty here.

 

I'll put a link to the page with the picture I tried to post yesterday rather than a link direct to the picture.

Good morning

El that pic is gorgeous, I saw a sky like that about a week ago, it was so incredible that i paused my work and pointed it out to everyone else in the room.
Nature's beauty really lifts my heart

Come back soon yogi, moonie & skylark we miss you

Good morning everyone, no frost here but certainly cold - sunny though which looks lovely while I'm inside all toasty warm

 

That's a lovely picture EL, well done.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

 

I wouldn't want to step in a puddle if I was wearing those

 

 

Gromit as you've never seen him before:

Squiggle, poor tree

That might be an acquired taste EL!

I know what you mean, Gromit and chintzware ?

 

Interesting article and Youtube clip about the 3D printing of a portrait of the US president:

I've just had someone knocking on the door saying he was from the British Heart Foundation and was talking about a type of which which can mend its heart.

 

I had heard of this before and told him but I wasn't going to start signing up to give money as I give quite a lot of money to charities as it is.

 

This is what it would be about - it's a zebra fish and the ad is 3 years old:

I'm off to see a client.

I hope you have a good evening and a welcome back to Yogi if she gets back today.

I thought the 3D portraits a little creepy, perhaps it's just me.

 

A worthy cause The British Heart Foundation EL but I agree it's a big commitment taking out a direct debit.  A little girl I have been sponsoring has just graduated so my direct debit for that will come to an end.  I am thinking, when I can, of supporting Well Found which provides clean water to people in Africa.  It was started by a millionaire so he ensures that every penny that people give goes straight to provide the wells, he takes care of expenses.

Squiggle, my parents had a few small busts of famous composers such as Bach. They looked similar to this:

To me, they are similar to the one of Obama.

 

The WellFound charity is a good one to support

night everybody in here and summer if she pops in

Thanks Ros sweet dreams

My relaxing day off didn't quite go as planned- as usual but I did get a few things done that needed doing

Hope you all had a good one, the pics in here certainly made me giggle
And hungry

Sweet dreams all

Good morning everyone.

 

I hope everyone is well and you have all behaved yourselves in my absence.

 

Weather is dry but it's too dark to know anything else.

 

Grocery shopping and perhaps some gift shopping today. Have a good day everyone.

 

Good morning everyone

 

Back to cloudy conditions here but mainly dry.

 

Welcome back Yogi. I think we behaved well during your absence but .....

 Glad to hear it, El.

Youtube has had to increase its counter of the number of times a clip has been watched from 2,147,483,647 (which in binary is 31 1s) to 9,223,372,036,854,775,808 (which in binary is 1 followed by 63 0s).

It's all becasue of one clip. No prizes for guessing which one

 

Good morning! damp & foggy here

Yogi it's lovely to have you back no mischief here I'm afraid
What goodies are you buying?!

El, which clip?

I was just wondering that too Summer.

 

Welcome back Yogi we have all been absolute I hope all goes well with the present buying

 

Cloudy and cold here, enjoy your day everyone

The clip has been imitated so many times that everyone has seen it ir at least an imitation but it's this one:

Oh that one! Not my cup of tea.

Not mine either which is why I posted a link rather than embed it.

Squiggle, when I saw this article posted yesterday I was reminded of your grandson and thinking it's just as well that he had his shoulder operation before these changes by the NHS in Devon.
