What’s the best response to “how are you?”?

OVERHEARD IN AN RCHARD:

Said the Robin to the Sparrow

“I should really like to know,

Why these anxious human beings

Rush around and worry so?”

Said the Sparrow to the Robin,

“Friend I think that it must be

That they have no Heavenly Father

Such as cares for you and me.”

Hot Pot by Mark Graham

When Raleigh first returned with spuds
Consumers weren’t impressed
The skins sparked fears of leprosy
So cattle feed at best
Old news, the tuber triumphed
And thrives today of course
Though what would Walter make you ask
Of chips and curry sauce

A much love doll, Olive, has just been lost on a train either at Doncaster or on the London North Eastern Railway train from Doncaster to London. I have a devastated little girl and I’ve seen these sorts of posts work before.

Good to know I was ahead of the zeitgeist 😏 bbc.co.uk/news/health-68…

Gazing on Jesus
Arms wide open in embrace
The world, gently held

Follow your breath for a few minutes.
Let it pull you into stillness
without and within.
Rest in this place and
open your heart mind soul
to the gaze of Christ.
A vulnerable feeling perhaps.
Sit with it.
Blessed.

One of the most important things in life,
is to find your life partner with whom you can enjoy the moment ...

You couldn't make it up: our waters are full of shit, but rather than giving Ofwat new powers to protect our environment and hold water companies accountable, the Government is instead imposing a legal duty on them to consider economic growth. inews.co.uk/news/save-brit…
