It didn’t feel appropriate to post last week, but now I’m left with a whole mixture of funny things, sad things, and various things between, so please excuse the chaos of both the content and the chronology (even more so than usual!), and hopefully you’ll appreciate/enjoy some of the content below.
10 Brilliant things the Queen has said about God – Premier Christianity.
A double rainbow shimmered across the crowds gathered outside Buckingham Palace. When the news of Queen Elizabeth II's death broke, after a hush, people broke into "God Save the Queen." https://t.co/XgIbaYjsEL pic.twitter.com/g0Q3ZDsNuv

I'd like to wish well all those starting a new term, esp in a newer bigger establishment where they don't really know how everything works or what they're doing, eg. our new PM.

The Tories are trying their fourth new leader in just six years. If this one fails too they might be forced to admit that the problem is with the entire party…

Just discovered that Evelyn Waugh’s first wife was called Evelyn. And thus they were known by their friends as He-Evelyn and She-Evelyn. I felt a need to share this with the group.

I don't think enough has been made of that today.

Emotional tears have higher protein concentration than irritant tears, which makes them fall down your cheeks more slowly—increasing the chance they’ll be seen and solicit care.
In literal ways, your body is built for community.
