To my #American friends...

As your neighbour, I thought you would want to know -- we've been looking over to your side of the fence, and your tree of liberty is looking a little parched.

It's probably time to water it. It could stand a little refreshment.

If anyone was following and interested in the discussion between the Vice-President of the USA and a former Conservative leader in the UK about the "who is my neighbour?" question a lawyer asked Jesus in Luke 10:29, here is something worth reading.

Each of the politicians seemed to be, like the lawyer, "willing to justify himself", and both seemed to overlook the point that the lawyer never did get an answer to his question, because, as the parable Jesus told shows, it was the wrong question.
The real question is not "who is my neighbour?" but "who can I be a neighbour to?"

And if you are really interested in following this up, see here:

I easily shortened the cable by 2 meters and removed and reattached the shoreline plug, then reconnected the electricity. My heater and dehumidifier are running.

The state of my cable ties told me there'd been some hard yanking. The ties were all bunched up in one place. They're reusable burr-tape ties, easy to undo.

I'm unimpressed by the poor care my neighbours showed for my equipment.

The elderly lady who is visiting the hospital next week for #chemotherapy treatment has now had a #FREE #gas #water #heater installed by our subcontractors.

This was totally free of any cost, with no charge under any circumstances to her, we now know that when she returns home after every treatment, she will have running hot water without the worry of covering the cost, or borrowing.

She is a lovely lady who deserves a break, her next door, #neighbour, called us and asked if we could help.

Dear Friends of pulling out #hair,

  • My builder #neighbour is #drilling or mixing #concrete and his #building partner is hammering …
  • Meanwhile I am trying to send a reading to British Gas :ablobsunglasses:
  • After an hour and a half I managed it :ablobdancer:

I have killed my imaginary cat, #Bastet, pulled out my hair and called on the #Power of Jesus (the well known #incarnation of #God). As it was SO #difficult to just do that. I will have to leave my #complaint for another day … or the #calm of the #night.

Basically they are charging me monthly for a previous 3 month amount paid by direct debit. Consequently I am in major credit BUT the amount is all wrong (and of course in their #favour)

I can now log into my own account but making a complaint is just too much #hassle. I have already installed their app (no reason why I should), changed my password. Refused to engage with their chat bot. Changed my email to non google.

#Enough #already! Time for Coffee/Tea and comfort gnawing on a table leg … :ablobslurp:
