Memorable?

After church this morning I was introduced to someone's brother. Apparently he used to like my writings in The Bay. He said, "I still remember what you said when you spoke in Pantygwydr Cafe Church."
"Gosh, that was a long time ago!"
"You said when you get overwhelmed with the enormity of God and space you bring it back to Jesus, God incarnate, the walking, talking human. I remembered that as it spoke to me."

I've just done a blog search and found out it was eleven years ago that I did that talk. And he still remembers it. That was really lovely. 

Sadly I didn't catch his name nor do I know his sister's name but we do have the same dress.

As expected Wales lost yesterday 12-45 to the South Africans. Which might not sound good but when you're expecting a score against you to be in the 80s or more, it was quite acceptable. Also the Welsh team played their socks off, never giving up heart. They just weren't good enough.

2024 is the first year since 1935 that the Welsh rugby team has gone all year without winning a game. Bad days but we do have some promising youngsters. I was pleased to see on Twitter that just about everyone had nothing but praise for the team; most pointed the finger at the Welsh Rugby Union and their lack of investment in local teams and the groundroots. Safe to say it's going to take a long time to change the situation.

As there were still some trees that needed painting, and I had a large tin of paint, I brought two more home. 

First sides, first coat.

I decided to watch a film yesterday afternoon. I was halfway through it when I thought, "This is familiar!"

I definitely remember the second half. Maybe I walked in halfway through last time. I enjoyed it again anyway.
