Research by uSwitch has revealed that high living costs, below average government spending on health and education, lack of holidays and late retirement have contributed to a bleak picture for Brits.

Workers swarm Europe's streets in anti-cuts protests
To make matters worse, the UK no longer enjoys the highest net household income in the continent.

Horton in Ribblesdale

A59 penyghent

what a drive,but worse was coming back.
the road back was blocked by a land fall
to do with the recent rain.
Hence we were diverted into a strange place
ended up near Skipton
should l have gone via Kendell
still not sure



the scenery along the route is beautiful
but stress's l imagine coming from another who was time watching made it difficult to enjoy
anything but this person schedule



Everyone took in the beautiful scenery
gasp at the size of the mountains
l imagine it will take you lifetime to get to know them all
the Air felt purer
really enjoyed a cuppa
in the local cafe
which is walker friendly
food costly like the area
not far from the lakes either
you need to be well prepared for this
environment and climate

is everybody fine?



is everybody fine?




At the heart of "Everybody's Fine" is the theme of family and physical and emotional distances traveled to bring the members back together
is everybody fine?
So Frank, recently widowed and on heart medication, decides to ignore his doctor's advice and head out on a cross-country road trip to visit his offspring. He travels first to New York where there's no sign of his troubled artist son, David (Austin Lysy). He surprises career-minded Amy (Kate Beckinsale) in Chicago, slacker musician Robert (Sam Rockwell) in Colorado and free-spirit Rosie (Drew Barrymore) in Vegas.

is everybody fine?




>"Mom used to say,
‘Make your dad proud. He works hard for us,'"
Rockwell's Robert tells Frank.
"Well, I know you're not proud."





Frank dismisses the candor, unequipped to deal with it since his wife always handled the family's emotional issues. The strength of "Everybody's Fine" is watching De Niro slowly transform Frank into a father willing to listen and accept his children for who they are and not who he wanted them to be




so really is everybody fine?

manic street preachers

janglie guiters
emotive lyrics
conflicting lifes
great band name

out on 7 inch vinyl

great sound and interesting history behind the death?
disappearance of lead singer Ritchie

was it brave or stupid to just up and depart?
l kevin am mixed!
did he just take up a life someplace else,
or end his days.

the only thing l have learned about life can be summed up in 3 words

IT GOES ON
God circle you and all you love

ITS NOT WAR



To feel forgiveness, you gotta forgive
Do you see the stars or the darkness begin?
You fight your war, I fought for my life
You pay your dues and I'll pay mine

It's not war, just the end of love
Just like before but it's never enough

conkers


a memory, of a trust or perhaps of a commitment of change, to draw the line and walk ahead, the path behind, designed in lines encrypted in our minds
l was talking to someone l love last thursday
as we laughted we recalled going conkering
we were not children either
don`t know if l wanna climb trees
but going conkering
building sandcastles
having a kiss
yeah l am up 4 that

by now l should know better




l had a ruff 24 hours,
emotions have been really upside down.
should be more careful
at my age l expect to be able to weather a few storms
but l am surprised by how disturbed l got.
even lost some sleep walking the cliff face at 6.30 in the morning
(don't worry not needing the Samaritans).
if l was honestly sharing my truest feelings then it feels like l have come out of the square ring, losing by points.
that a feeling l know from my past
the fighter sits alone in the dressing room
the shouts nearby. . . .
let him know everyone`s getting on with what`s going on elsewhere!
He is sat trapped with his thoughts.



She asks me how the cat's been. I say, "Moses he's just fine
but he used to think about you all the time.
We finally took your pictures down off the wall.
Oh, Jessie, how do you always seem to know just when to call?"
She says, "Get your stuff together. Bring mose and drive real fast."
And I listen to her promise, "I swear to God this time it's gonna last."

Jessie paint your pictures
'bout how it's gonna be.
By now I should know better, your dreams are never free.
But tell me all about our little trailer by the sea;
Jessie you can always sell any dream to me.

I'll love you in the sunshine, lay you down in the warm white sand.
And who knows, maybe this time things'll turn out just the way you planned.

oh Jessie how do you know just when to call

is it true Anita Skorgan


Anita Skorgan Is it True
I thought I caught a glimpse of you
I thought I saw your face
as the Sunday morning due
melted every trace

Did you walk the earth in vain
conquering the dead
or did life make you forget
the crown upon your head

Is it true what they say
Are you coming back someday
Is it true what they say
About you

If it's true will you be
A guiding light to me
and the few that still believe

WENT CLIMBING


"The atmosphere the fans create at the KC Stadium is a real buzz and our home form is very good, so hopefully we can continue that."

Looking to climb the Championship ladder



Although City's woes on the road have been much documented, the Tigers have quietly made an impressive start to life in the Championship at home.

Three games have brought two wins and seven points, with City keeping clean sheets on each occasion.



Oh, girl, don't you remember?
It was not so long ago
We were makin' plans for two
Just me and you
Now you tell me that you've found somebody
Someone who loves you better
No one could ever love you
The way I do
from the eagles
long road out of edan






I'll do anything
Yes, I would
To save what we have
To keep you by my side
I'll love you 'til death do us part



But what do I do
What do I do
When I'm still missing you?
What do I do
What do I do with my heart?


FORGET ALL THAT HOW DO I GET DOWN FROM HERE

NEW HAIRCUT




only had my haircut a few weeks ago took 3 inches off
staged it and my glasses are not that old

everybodys not fine




Talk
Shout
Speak

emotional lteracy is a big issue
in current practice
often people don`t talk
don`t share
don`t listen
don`t reflect
life happens to us and at such a pace
so we listen less
share less
talk to fewer perons
stop reflecting

then we stop living as we die within.

hull city lose again and again

SEYI Olofinjana says he "feels sorry" for Hull City boss Nigel Pearson because he's had to let his best players leave.

City have off-loaded a host of big names since suffering relegation from the Premier League in May in a bid to cut their annual £39m wage bill to somewhere nearer to £15m.

That has seen the likes of Geovanni, Bernard Mendy, Daniel Cousin, Boaz Myhill and a host of other household names head for pastures new


thin line between heaven and hull gets wider and wider.

Prayers with those hurting

HURTING

biggest issue for me today new tryes on my car

Dear God
forgive me that l sometimes lack perspective

Car trouble

today not a good day and all the problems started yesterday
coming back from a walk around the top of the Dene
l discovered 3 tyres down
36 hours later still trying to fix them
Ce la vie
crisis what bloody crisis

need to keep this in perspective

little things impact myself and struggle to focus on wide picture
or the issue under my nose

his story my story


childhood in the sixties

During childhood in hull l spent lot of time sailing out on
the wingfield castle,the ferry above.
chatting to girls, docking at New Holland across the water
returning to the pier , boarding again,
before sailing for Hull.
walking home and still having change from £2.00



a proper rust bucket docked in our local harbour
another ship awaiting scraping.
Time waits for no one.
Who can control the seasons?
.


God doe`s


This day of the present becomes our history,
his or her story
part of mystory always includes something of the seas and clifftop walks

time and tide



where do l belong?

in a place where the tide comes in and sweeps the beach
so later with loved one
hand in hand
like lovers are supposed too
we can walk along the sand looking out
at the moon reflected along the waves


only thing missing for me at the moment
?

against the wind

love this song been listening to a great deal recently


It seems like yesterday
But it was long ago
Janie was lovely, she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio playing low
And the secrets that we shared
The mountains that we moved
Caught like a wildfire out of control
Till there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove

And I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it never would end
I remember how she held me oh so tight
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then

Against the wind
We were running against the wind
We were young and strong, we were running
Against the wind

And the years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home
And I guess I lost my way
There were oh so many roads
I was living to run and running to live
Never worried about paying or even how much I owed

Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breaking all of the rules that would bend
I began to find myself searchin'
Searching for shelter again and again

Against the wind
A little something against the wind
I found myself seeking shelter
Against the wind

Well those drifters' days are past me now
I've got so much more to think about
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in
What to leave out

Against the wind
I'm still runnin' against the wind
I'm older now but still running
Against the wind
Well I'm older now and I'm still running
Against the wind...

advice




well had some advice about haircut and needing new glasses
also someone wants me to move to Todm.... or K...

would like too...but some questions need to be answered first..

more green belt artist 2010

l am really proud of our young peoples response to Greenbelt
the experience of Greenbelt was first tasted by myself as Young person in 1984

Over 21,000 visitors to the Greenbelt Christian festival have returned home after four days of worship, music, talks and performances



God inevitably breaks free from our theological dogmas and challenges us to meet him in a different worldview, a different culture, a different theology.




“We're all capable of finding God in unexpected places and in unexpected ways"

the young people really enjoyed Beverly Knight, for me it was really a thrill watching them enjoy experience,the performances, making new mates, meeting again old friends.

grennbelt artist we saw



this is greenjade who are splitting up this year, their last gig will be on Dec 3rd
First saw them in 2001, with vehead,minaz,sima,Claudie,Lorentz's and Marius.
Along with Chris and Matty great memories,we enjoyed the style, clothes,not forgetting the message.
Fanx U Greenjade.
God bless you guys loads and loads
.



main stage Greenjade where in the underground stage
l need to check who this group where but very enjoyable



this was Megson a local band from the North singing about issues
l could identify with
really big on the UK folk scene
this was in the performance venue
nice food drinks comfortable unique starry canopy
lovely atmosphere very different to other venues

thank you all the crew at performance venue God Bless you also loads and loads




American rockabilly and still praising the Lord
the dodge brothers
cool is that the word
cool and informative
l was a cool cat and dig it
this was in the big top another venue at greenbelt
God bless these guys

l think they apart from Beverly knight where the most professional outfit
they really connected with the audience and had loads of stories around the songs and own life experiences
hugely enjoyed by all who attended

Greenbelt the artist we saw



This Fiona Regan delicate voice small tart with big guitar
cute style and folk performance
no real interaction with audience,l would buy her album
not sure how main stream she is,first time l heard her but still excellent

GREENBELT MORE IN TENTS



not the best photo more later
but the youth group
we meet up from tents for breakfast
later for cake and cold drinks
around 9 for chocolate and brownies
also connect for cooked meal at tents around 5-6



very liberal with meetings and rules
Greenbelts one of the few places l can do this
let the young people get own sense of time and space
wonder about God
what happening and breath, breathe the air let time flow and connect deeper and more sensitively



after breakfast they just tend to drift and settle into having no routine
l like that they do this
it works due to it not working and not having a routine
time not important
and it gets dark or they get hungry so we adjust?

Greenbelt 2010

MAYBE WE WON`T MEET AGAIN

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
