thank you
I’m actually feeling quite a bit better today.
Yesterday I asked Cara, our three year old, if she would like to pray for me. She replied, “Okay – I’ll try… Dear God, thank you that Daddy is feeling poorly. Amen.”

I’m very sorry you are poorly but hope you are enjoying the idea. I like ‘poorly’ too. It sounds worthy of sympathy and dear whereas ’sick’ is attached to complaining moaners – especially in NZ where we say ’suck’ which is just horrid. I also like ‘bless’ in the UK. It’s tossed around so freely and warmly and makes me feel so special.

Not all supermarkets play the pound trick. Asda doesn’t.

Nottingham’s biggest problem is it isn’t by the sea and the UK’s biggest problem is there aren’t any mountains or hills (real ones).

So best wishes for your recoverly from being poorly and bless…
