Happy Saint Georges Day!

Happy Saint Georges Day, everyone!

Today is the Saint's Day of St George, the Patron Saint of England.

The legend of Saint Georges Day is shrouded in myth and mystery.

By the way, it is also the 30th anniversary of the launch of the ZX Spectrum computer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZX_Spectrum

No Easter service?

Most Christian churches had special Easter services recently to celebrate or mark the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

The Mormon church had an advertising campaign to tell the world that Mormons are Christians.

The Mormon Church remembered to fund an advertising campaign but according to latest reports from the pews, the vast majority of Mormon wards/branches forgot to have special Easter services and/or hardly commemorated this special event in the Christian calender.

Which is probably why the Mormon church has to keep telling people that it really is a Christian church...

Snowing, again

Yes, preparations for spring and summer in the UK are somewhat curtailed, because the winter has come back!

7 or more inches of snow in Aviemore, Scotland, and even a couple of inches overnight, here in the English Midlands.

And soon I get to walk 2 miles to work! Yay, me!
