Funny day in stormy UK

 RAYE has won the 2026 Mercury Prize for her critically acclaimed second studio album, This Music May Contain Hope. The singer collected the prestigious £25,000 award 

Doesn't sound like a lot of money. But this wonderful Lady with good character is a worthy winner. Surprised the Album has got a concept theme very different found maybe need to give it few more listens as yet to me got no stand out tracks. Not featured on anything come across nor overplayed on the Radio.

Community are seldom established. They should be organic in a business setting, there's a community gathering around some old sheds, some movement out away from this starting. When others get established they develop business ideas then start processing from an  organic happening, to establish themselves in retail area. Growth and development. 

That's what community can be people come together often then we feel that can be creative and enthusiasm begins. Individuals find opportunity to chat, voice deep concerns, and try stuff. Some of the basics for gatherings to develop then become Community.

Who do belong too?. Where around you are people gathering.? Do you witness growth ?

Relationships always work in progress.

 There's a light a certain kind of light, that's never shone on me. It just hasn't in a Bee Gees kinda knowledgeable way. I'm at something of a crossroads nevertheless less it's time for me to move on. When people don't communicate with you there comes a time when wasting your words, wasting your efforts and end up communicating into a vacum. It's disheartening. 

It was Gladys knight who sang on the soundtrack to the film ..'The Bulter'.. film worth investment of your time.

" You and me we ain't nothing no more" real painful song to listen too and imagine. Life brings uncertainty it brings stress. Everyday challenges but we all need rewards of knowing our efforts hold value. Or we are not human we just AI nonhumans playing at relationships. Relationships are person centered they need to be worked at. But sometimes just space along with time to evaluate if a relationship mainly friendship is worth effort.

Your journey can be a useful guide here but value yourself. Invest in you.

It's our time ..Time for US.

 Despite the horrors going on in Europe. Awful incident where in Australia MP got hit by a car then the assailant returned to drive the car over her. Despite poverty increasing food equality fading young families struggling. We can still be beautiful.
You and l have to be this thing of being a BHP. Beautiful human being.

Maybe it's us having to find the beauty,maybe we have to remain silent, maybe we have to seek God's counsel. Maybe we have to share our limited resources better. Maybe we have to ignore the hatred. Maybe we have to sit with someone and listen longer. Maybe we have other ideas better then different then those l suggest.

Beetroot a hard vegetable not the easiest to cook takes lots of boiling. It's ugly doesn't go as an accomplishments with very many other foods. But when tasted it very worthwhile and very good for a person. Like maybe we have to be as the storms approach. They are approaching not just the ones bringing the tidal waters over a wet cold harsh promenade. Life's storms are often near at difficult times. But we are. Called to be of good cheer to spend time on the frontiers with the lost and broken. . . . yes you. Yes us.
Our hope is in the Kingdom values that Jesus calls us to live out in relationships encounters and acts of love, kindness,  listening and sharing.
If we don't or we won't....it will not get done.

Wherе was I when childhood died And manhood came to take me...

Days of ice creams, chilly waters in the middle of summer, soul music playing loud enough to hear but not intrusive, paddling a boat. Looking at the girls and your first loving conversations. Childhood 1968.
First football match Hull city V French side Nice. Iced drink of watermelon, burger with cheese. A bus ride, pocket money and stuff taking home. Slice of pizza and glass of coke. Talks about preparing for a Halloween trick. Childhood 2026.

Beds of grain and sheets of rain

And hold tight nights of thunder

Owls that hoot and Lash Larue

And heroes gone asunder

Nightmare fears and grandma's tears

And gingerbrеad to bake me

Wherе was I when childhood died

And manhood came to take me

Saturdays alright for....lots of things ...

Tend too try not get results till watched the old classic ..'match of the day'... Treat yourself TV stable. If lucky that should be breakfast treat in early hours of Sunday. 

Looking forward to supplementing the day of the Lord with period among local Church folk. Worship songs prayers and biblical discussions.

Health leisurely pursuits been good in the gym today despite the system error of AI generated sounds vulgar, loud creat aggressive undertone. Further staff young tending get upset when older people challenge them about volume. Yet sending tweets plus likes to older cliental social media posts. My Biotrax readings showing favourable results including slow gradually losing weight with muscle dexterity developing.

Holistically the weekend been growth present and low key issues addressed. Good connections with friends time of chats laughter.

Kind of kingdom value days when individual growth happening in gatherings with others. Away from a society falling in on itself .

                      Calvery......

Watched this uplifting film, yes it's a tough watch. Mainly about plodding on when to give up is the easier way,for myself it is about Faith when in a place of struggle. Acceptance and battling the Life we live when the tears threaten
 every new born seed.

Damaging daily the social cohesive of British society

What l am witnessing far too consistently is very concerning. It's concerning because l am committed to establishing the Kingdom of God here on earth 

But struggle with accepting the behaviour see daily several times in my locality  mainly two ethnic groupings. Muslims and Africans often from very same group mainly males between 20 to 35 age range.

Like to sometimes have on a cold day a hot drink in pleasant environment occasionally with female friends. They now look around themselves.  If as it often can be in  Hull , full of 3 and 4 of the men from these groups stay round a table with one cup of coffee.

They say
 …." Let's get elsewhere "...
We do. Today l was on my own , this gave me birdseye view. There was only few spare seats , our ethnic groupings, well they would not let anyone with trays of drinks (elderly or female) sit near them. Despite or rather enjoying refusing reasonable requests to allow seating to be used.

They even put own feet, ( on spare seats near by) in way that found difficult and alarming. When challenged by males they made threats. The sense of entitlement was disturbing.

Another African was watching a film of girls being shot and hiding from their captives . Some of the girls in this movie  ?  Visible on his phone while he sat not drinking a drink , when asked,  refused to switch it off. These actions may be acceptable to any liberal minded people.  Got search your mind explore .What message have they decide to send to those infidels that sharing space with...well at moment that space is supposed to be shared.

But l cite them as an evil that's has eroded and has damaged already the social-cohesion of our society. The further work of evil.

Blessed.

 Blessed . We often enter into non formal contracts with each other and certainly as mission oriented holders of the Christian faith. That's a trauma around need to evenglise and purpose of community social commitments. We gather with young people in their spaces on streets corners 

Or we gather with them when enter the project  we have attempted or successful and historically provided. We may want to get to know them.

They may wish to just use the space as a break from parents. We find common ground. It develops.

On the Bus ride the meadows folded onto these beautiful couples of Autumn. The warm soon struggled to exact it's warmth because the chill of the morning remained longer then it has done since the early part of the year. The hedges are thinning out the birds are out later in the morning as nature comes out later now temperatures dropping. Blessed.

I get to see the Buzzard for longer hunting high and low across the damp meadows oddly enough close to Matthews collage. Few friends been in touch with drama plus the excitement of the days they have ahead of them. Blessed.

Hope you can understand the everyday ordinary stuff are huge blessings . So count them one by one. Hold them close thank the lord for people, the places, nature and technical community development you are integral part of. Blessed.
