How others see us: part one ::
I had a lovely card from Oriane, our (temporary) French daughter for my birthday,

complete with a cartoon picture of me! This is it, and since the cat looks like Quizzy and since she wrote: "
merçi pour tous les bons petits plats que tu fais... je me régale!!!" I'm citing it as evidence of my culinary skills...
PS: the service seemed to go well, the Pentecost worksheet from Dave Walker at
CartoonChurch was a hit, sparked a real buzz of conversation when I told all the under 30s that since in Bible times they would not have had the right to speak in public they would need to take a worksheet and find someone over 30 to fill it out for them, and then we discussed the answers. Sadly there were only three votes for
Firefox - though I suppose I should be glad we did better on the biblical questions, and being open ended they did provoke useful discussion...
...and, at least some people seemed to find the
multilingual Joel recording a useful way to enter the story.
