  • service returns

    Good customer service can make all the difference. I have just got off the phone from someone in a company where they had sent me something that was not quite correct. The young lady with whom I spoke was courteous, sympathetic, knew what she was talking about and offered to find out what was happening.…

  • looking optimistic

    This morning I have been musing on a phrase in my Bible (thanks to Wordlive). What are the implications of Jesus saying: “Whoever is not against us is for us…” (Mark 9:40)?

  • optimistically disappointed or disappointedly optimistic?

    I am delighted to say that I am finally back home. I have had some new holes made in my body that I didn’t have last Friday. In order to patch them up the hospital have stapled me back together. The repairs look like I have some small pasties breaking through the surface of my skin!…
