BEYOND BLUE SKY

You would have been 75 years-old today!  How nice it would have been to share today with you.  However, I am glad for the short 21 years I did get to spend with you before you became ill.  You never lost your faith, and for that I am immensely proud.  Denied an education yourself, you strove for both me and my brother to stick-in and do well at school.  You will be pleased to know that we both ended up doing MBA's - myself at INSEAD, France, and Daniel at Durham, England. And we've both learned to speak some German - sorry, not French (your favourite!). For today, I bought a Tree of Life cushion cover from The British Museum for each of Aunt Jen and Aunt Lynne, your sisters who you were very fond of.  I hope you approve of me buying a reverse birthday presents so that they can celebrate your 75th with you in some small way! Lots of love, Stefan X 

 The Bank of England should reduce interest rates by 0.5% on Thursday 1 August when its MPC next meets.  There are too many people suffering in the UK right now with expensive mortgages. As an aside, yes - let's abolish 1Ps and 2Ps.  Inflation has now made them almost worthless.

 I have just been watching the Opening Ceremony of the Paris Olympics, held outside (along the River Seine) for the first time. All I can say is: Wow!  I already want to know where the Afterparty is taking place!

  On the first Sunday in 1934,  the Radio Church of God first aired . These broadcasts eventually became known as The World Tomorrow of the future Worldwide Church of God. Shortly thereafter, in February 1934, Armstrong began the publication of  The Plain Truth , which started out as a church bulletin. My budget for this year's Feast (90 years later in 2024) is exactly £1,934!

She is a feisty woman, that's for sure. However, despite being VP for the past 3 1/2 years, I must admit I know little about her.  It is time she laid out her platform to win votes for President on November 5.

The current 5 sacred years (from April 9, 2024 to March 16, 2029) are CRITICAL. So too, is the term of the current UK Labour Administration. SEISMIC EVENTS will unfold during this time!

Today, I resigned from The Conservative Party. It is Time to focus on The Weather on a cross-bench basis.
