It's all about Peter.

 Today is the feast of Peter (and  Paul) though Paul doesn't get a mention in the readings at Mass today. It might as well be  Peter and Richard. Our church is named after Peter and Paul. I call it Peter and Paul's.  Is that right. Should it be Peter's and Paul's? Actually it's Saints Peter and Paul. No apostrophe. 

Herod and the Judahs (Jews) arrest Peter. They put him in prison sleeping between two Roman soldiers but an angel gets him out. How anyone could sleep in chains between two soldiers beggers belief. I wonder if they all wore pyjamas. "Stop taking all the blanket Biggus".

Jesus says he will found his Church on Peter and the gates of hell will not prevail against it! What does that mean? Will the church knock down the gates of hell? Why would it want to get into hell? Maybe RBB  knows.

I had a ring last evening but I took it off. Old Tony joke. The call was from a lady at work who wants me to help clean the Creche this morning. That means heading off about 3.30 and picking her up from Wainui to start work at 4 am. I just have to vacuum up all the glitter and sand (from the sand pit) and mop some floors. It's time and a quarter so is kind of worth it. They throw in another half hour which we use  for normal duties afterwards. That's still 1.25! They don't really like paying overtime but haven't much choice as nobody else wants to get up early and clean a Creche. Creches are notoriously unpopular amongst cleaners. The staff don't give a merda about how much mess the little ones make. They have little beds which no one makes too. I wonder if they just sleep in any. I wonder if the staff have a nap too. Not my worry.

The three bloggers of Wellington are assembling at RBB's for a luncheon this Saturday. I don't expect crowds outside wanting autographs. I doubt if the female companions of two will allow theological discourse. Should be interesting none the less.

Sabbath

 Today is the Sabbath for some but I won't be going to a synagogue. I watched a film "An American pickle" earlier. It's about a Polish Jew who gets pickled for 100 years and meets his grandson. The actor plays both parts and does them well, especially the Polish peasant's accent and mannerisms. Not thinking of anyone in particular.

Here is the latest News about the weather.

GALES HIT THE CAPITAL

Drivers are warned to take care on the roads this weekend. Police are blocking the left lane of the motorway owing to spray and breaking waves.

Power outages have been reported and one event and a school was closed.

Wainuiomata road is open but newspapers may be soggy, branches on old trees may break off. 

Moera will have some surface flooding and roofs should be secured with heavy weights.

Thorndon residents should secure the tops of their rubbish bins and lock their cars.

Conditions to ease later today.

Having fun isn't really important.

Friday

 It was quite windy overnight in Moera,

I had to secure a door and clear a drain;

I hope it will be o'er tomorrow,

I'd like to visit the cemetery once again.

It's twenty to five and I should be off,

I have some overtime to do;

Empty some bins and wipe with cloth,

And on the toilet scrape some poo.

Have fun and doan your coat cross

 Sooooorry noooooo time to pooooost this mooooorning.

Have fun and follow Jesus. Indian says..

Happy birthday John

 You are probably wondering which John I am talking about. It's the one that baptized. I learned something today I didn't know. Tradition says he was born without original sin. The magisterium of the church doesn't pronounce this as doctrine so I guess RBB and TC may choose not to accept it if they want. 

Catholic answers on this topic

So which two other persons full in this category I hear you ask. Both Jesus and Mary were conceived without sin. John had to wait until Mary visited Elizabeth to get the Holy Spirit and move in her tummy.

In the Catholic calendar only three birthdays are celebrated. Jesus, Mary and John. Most of the rest of the feast days are for saints entering heaven i.e. dying.

Have fun and carry your glasses cross.

Do not give dogs what is holy

 Enter by the narrow gate. The road that leads to perdition is wide and easy.

Just worked out how to use a Belkin master control multi-box. It has been years that I have puzzled over it. Kylie bought it when he bought a TV or something and he couldn't figure it out either. It has seven inputs for three pin plugs. One is marked master and for others are included in a green line with it. Two others that always work are outside. It seems the 'master' must be on for the four to work. The idea is that it you turn your TV off then lots of things like sound bars, playstations, cake-mixers, and electric drills will turn off too.

Have fun and carry your phone.
