At last a wee break in the weather. For what appears to be months the temperature has kept itself very high, the winds from the Sahara bringing their heat to us and that part of the world on the receiving end of higher than usual temperatures as far as I can see. Global warming, mostly man made, is hurting us. In Essex yesterday and possibly today 35% has been seen, my front room, which faces north, reached to just over 90%! It was unusual to move about and feel the air in the room warm as you walked through it. I suppose all these naked and near naked bodies sweating away have actually done themselves some good by allowing the skin to breathe, however for those looking in this could have been an unpleasant sight, shall I offer a photo of me perhaps..what?...oh!
Tuesday was a very busy day and finished a tiring week for me. Running around to seek items for the opening of the exhibition wore me out and on the day I failed to eat properly, as you do. For the next three days I have been almost dead, lie not helped by making a mess of the photos I took of the kids. At least one woman hates me, one more than usual I mean. It is a funny thing but if you eat and sleep properly your mind works better, if you are lax in such things life degenerates somewhat and problems occur. Maybe Donald Trump needs a new cook? My mind is almost normal now, what's that you said...?
The curate and I got around to discussing Calvin's commentary on Genesis as you do and in the end we both bought a second hand copy to investigate. I had found a translation from 1847 by the Rev John King online and considered it somewhat difficult to read, the form of language being Victorian. Therefore I found the book on Amazon to aid the tax dodging billionaire's profits while paying just over £9 for the privilege. Today I sauntered early down to the sorting office for the book the postman did not wake me up to deliver yesterday. I sauntered back clutching my prize and cheerfully opened it up to discover this version was a 1975 print of the Rev John King's 1847 translation that was free online! Sometimes I wonder about my stupidity!
