Brevity... there's a word! Some people talk too much. Some people never get ill. Healthy eating, exercise... and more.
I've had an interesting email from Alan... He wonders why he doesn't like people. What it is about some people? I'm sure some set out deliberately to annoy others! Haha! Happy days!

Oh, no! Half way through the Midweek Message... a disaster! 
In this episode, I bang on about someone else's problem becoming my problem. I try to help someone out and their problem becomes my problem... the whole thing backfires! Also, are there any architects today? Looking at new houses, you wouldn't think so! Cars, big or small? Which do you prefer? Please, join me this Sunday.
