Think I've secured my place in heaven. :laugh:
Just got back from the shops and noticed that my neighbour's car had a very soft offside rear tyre.
I just so happened to have my electric pump in the car, so I pumped it up for him.
I then knocked on his door to let him know that he had a slow puncture.
He is a Baptist preacher and was profoundly grateful.
PS. He knows that I'm a lifelong hard atheist. Think I might have created some cognitive dissonance. :laugh:

You realise you're cycling on the wrong side of the road.

I bet she's in France or somewhere else on the continent.

Pleased to report that Red Funnel ferries laughed in the face of Storm Isha.
Even the white knuckle crossing we anticipated turned into rather a damp squib. With Met Office and BBC weather promising winds of 250miles, gusting to 55, the screen in the lounge suggested it was about 11-12 🤣

Forecasts…..pfft!

Got me interested that Re the Baptist religion so googled it. Seems to be a very complex religion with lots of sub divisions.

We have a Baptist church in the town. Not sure if it is well supported or not. Also have a Seventh Day Adventist church. Sadly, Church of Scotland closed their church in town and numbers are dwindling rapidly.
