Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency - Douglas Adams - Book Review

5 stars

I'm re-reading a bunch of old favourites. I've read this one a LOT of times, but it's been a while since the last reading. It's still brilliant. Just the right amount of battiness for me. You need to have an awareness of the story behind Coleridge's Kubla Khan (and perhaps The Rime of the Ancient Mariner) for the conclusion to make sense.

Trivia: Apparently it was this book that brought about the friendship between Adams and Dawkins.

So, onto The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul. *oh joy*

Spaceship has landed in our kitchen!

Well, perhaps not a spaceship but my new washing machine.  I am unbelievably excited.  It washes 9KG OF CLOTHES!!!

Who is the Holy Spirit? - RC Sproul - Book Review

4 stars
Great little book. I read it as prep for a Sunday School lesson (it doesn't take long to read). Sproul explains in the book that it isn't meant to be a thorough study into the Holy Spirit, but it does cover the basics.

Charles II was a prophet!

1675 sounds very much like 2016, hahahaha!

"Whereas it is most apparent, that the Multitude of Coffee-Houses of late years set up and kept within the Kingdom, the Dominion of Wales, and the Town of Berwick on Tweed, and the great resort of Idle and disaffected persons to them, have produced very evil and dangerous effects; as well for that many Tradesmen and others, do therein mis-spend much of their time, which might and probably would otherwise by imployed in and about their Lawful Callings and Affairs..." Charles II, 29th Dec 1675

Lovely day out

Had a brilliant day out with the girls and my mum and dad at Turton Tower.

It's a fascinating old house and 13th century tower with 17th and 19th century additions.

The tour guide was brilliant.

We also had a lovely lunch in the tea room.

AND it was only £6 for adults to go around the house and free for the kids! Bargain!
