Hello.
I received some sad news this morning; Mum phoned to let me know that my Grandpa had died last night.
It is sad; he was very well up until the last year or so and even yesterday he went out to church as usual. It was less than 2 weeks ago that I last saw him. I worry more about my Granny. She is already very frail and unable to do much for herself. Last week my Grandpa intimated to her that he didn't want to die a long and drawn out death; perhaps this was God's blessing.
I have been reflecting on Myles' post from last week about being thankful. His words, "Thank God for life, and death" struck me at the time and seem even more relevant now. How is it possible to be thankful for this death? I pray that God will use it in some way.
All for now, I don't feel particularly lucid this evening.

"They're really Satan's little run-around"
BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | 4x4s 'should carry health warning'
Interesting view point there. I always thought the Devil would drive something a bit more flashy, say a Lamborgini Diablo-the designers must have had a similar point of view.

It's a long long way to Tipperary
Hello again netizens (Cheers Pete for this word).
I would like to say that in the last 3 weeks I have been away on a journey of self-discovery, to a land that exists beyond time, where friends are valued and that much maligned cheesy voice-over guy is praised; but I haven't. I finished off my GP block had a wee trip back to Norn Iron via the Uni Ultimate Regionals, where we came 6th, then the long way back via Gartmore House (and Virgin Megastore where there was a good 5 DVD for £30 offer and some of the money I got for my birthday was spent).
Very little in the way of news to comment upon; I was again uninterested to see the Fox Hunting "debate" last week...*yawn*. I have tried to interest myself in this...the cruelty to the fox, yadda yadda, (is there a more humane way?), the psychology of killing animals for sport, class warfare, blah blah (Conservative band-wagon)...but as I have never seen a fox hunt and only the occasional fox, I feel ultimately apathetic about the whole thing; chastise me if you wish.
Anyhow. I shall hopefully write more again soon. All the best to you in your everyday mishappenings.
