In the last few days there have been terrorist attacks in Maiduguri, Ankara, Istanbul, Brussels.
People from all around the world and all traditions stand in solidarity with those places under attack.
Eternal God
hear the cries of your people
as we stand in solidarity
with those under attack.
Protect the innocent,
comfort the needy,
confound the wicked.
Give strength to the rescuers,
determination to peacemakers,
courage to law-enforcers,
strength to the weary.
Amen.

You can also suck one help sooth your throat.

I often feel a hangover is better than a cold as you’ve done something you enjoy to deserve it
Does a floating biretta have the same effect?
(Don’t tell me – only when it’s snowing)
Well, if it’s the same bug I’m convinced I caught whilst in Glasgow at the end of last month, you have my deepest sympathy.
Time to go over to New Orleans for our Mardi Gras devotions. Don’t forget the Provost’s World Famous Pancake Recipe either – available online here

The scene is the till in John Lewis Department Store, Glasgow. Household Department. Mr Johnny Loulou: Good morning, Sir. How can I help you today? Self:Â Ah.
