Hi
I guess it was a strange place to find this quote. A Dennis Wheatley novel. The Devil Rides out. ¡°¡±Only those who love without desire, will be given strength in the darkest hour¡± Love is the strongest force. Just wish I could make new medicines as was my vocation John

Indestructible knowledge

One of my colleagues son was in the SAS in the former youglslavia. He was tort by by seeing children torturted to death. But what got me was an SAS bird spotter who saw a carrion vulture circling. Then he realised the birds where going after two men crucified men on a bard dawn. I was watching ¡°Behind Enemy lines¡±. True sto9ry

There are some truly great views there
I¡¯ll have to get some eyesores of where I live. Still I¡¯m reasonably happy. The drug dealers are a fair bit away. It provides work for the police John

Psalm 23
3
I¡¯m sorry if I offend anyone, but this always brings me comfort in the worst of times: Psalm 23 King James Version 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

I¡¯m watching Sherlock Holmes. I really like that because you can figure it out When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle cleared an Indian Doctor, but he was told he should go no further in finding the true culprit for fear of prosecution for slander/libel John

My former country doesn¡¯t seem to be having a good time. I always felt safe in Clemson because it was a small University town with negligible crime. Didn¡¯t mean they wouldn¡¯t have an M16 on the wall mind you. John

I was on Jury duty at 19. A poor mans wife developed a bad case of schizophrenia. He just never got any respite. Served a year for manslaughter John

Hi

Things are getting betting. Maybe I could now get a laptop & freelance. I ¡®d like to work again, but I¡¯ve seen Chris Barkers face & he looks 10 years younger than me at least. At least we have the same faith in Jesus Christ. It¡¯s been so tough recently But is still tougher

iPad Pro
2
When I put in the order it said 27th June --- and then I got harassing emails about picking up the pen .... but the date on the iPad pro had blown out to 27th July --- no one has any of the M1 versions -- I rang a retailer who was advertising but no its just on the website and so its just a matter of waiting. I predicted we would be going into a lockdown again soon and that has happened but only for a coupole of days -- and it would have been nice to have it to play with :-) But just having to be patient. I rang Apple and told them not to keep emailing me because I wasn't going to be bothering to pick the pen up until they had the iPad in the same pickup as I had noting to use it on anyway. At least Apple haven't taken the money out yet. A bit cold by our standards -- so bed and tv and leftover tucker. Made a batch of cumquat marmalade yesterday -- did a different recipe -- serves me right -- took much longer to set but not complaining on the taste. Bit of alright on toast. Jude

Out take
When I was in the West Country, I saw a news report. It was read by a lady, not sure if by marriage or birth. Trust me it was on South West TV. About an RAF pilot on the final stages of take-off. It was analysed & it was a technical problem. Anyway the lady said ¡°he managed to ejaculate safely¡± I think the word she was searching for was ¡°eject¡±. Don¡¯t know if Chris knows him, but that pilot must have had a bloody hard time: from that day till now. Trust me I¡¯ve been there, nearly blew my right hand off. Good job toilet was only 100 ft away. It took a full bottle of Jack Daniels to calm down from that. John

The Good luck never ends!

Found my toilet was blocked on Sunday. Got 3 plungers an Auger & worlds supply of drain cleaning chemicals (obviously!). Read on one website that it can be the drain that is blocked. Called council & yep, man confirmed drain was blocked solid. I¡¯d have never have cleared it in a. Month of Sundays. He said someone would be round in 24 hours with a power jet. Just lived on diet lemonade & Robinsons Fruit & Barley (no added sugar) for past 7 days Still to be fair I needed to lose some weight. I tell you if wanted to win the national lottery get me to pick 6 numbers & avoid them. John

I think it was inevitable that Matt Haancock would have to go on Friday Morning. There¡¯s a pattern from other disasters. They always have to be dragged kicking & screaming out the door. John

Hi
Dearest Jude, I got the HBO Sky series on Cherobyl. Don¡¯t know if this is what got. There was also the European building over the Sarcophosus. They think it will last 100 years. Fortunately I have no wife or children, so I guess that will see me out. It was a very politically bad thing, but I¡¯ve had my experience of that John

Follow up MacBook
15
Well, the MacBook Pro was practically rebuilkt. Bill says about $1300 but all we had to pay was battery and consult fee. Apple fotted the rest "under warranty". I said what Warranty ....2015 MacBook Pro !! But not looking gift 'orse in the mouth. Visited 99 y o friend who has new iPad Pro rang me to boast so I had to go look didn't I :-) - fab bit of gear. Very quick. Photos look lovely. Sound is great. I talked him into Procreate. Saw he was struggling with the basics not having had an iPad before bit like me so I went back to see him and have loaned him the book my husband bought for me when I was in hospital as he knows I don't do womens mags :-) My husband thought the old guy would knock me back but no he beamed, clutched it to his chest and asked how long he could borrow it for. I've picked up an iPad lap pillow in my travels yesterday which has a pocket on the side to fit an iPhone and I'm dropping that off this afternoon. It will be interesting how he gets on with it, but he's absolutely thrilled with it and gave his MacBook Pro to his daughter who kindly picked it up for him across town. He has an iMac Pro like mine so I have talked to him about Sidecar -- new iPad to iMac Pro. Never too old to learn apparently :-) Oh I should be that good at his age. Jude
