Mike Pendray: Habakkuk Tay

http://mikependray.blogspot.com/2012/10/habakkuk-tay.html

Sunday, October 14, 2012. If you are in the house when I leave in the morning, you may hear me wishing you a good day. On the other hand you may think that is what you hear, but the words that I actually say may be, just slightly, different. When it comes to having a good day, or keeping a positive attitude whatever the circumstances bring, you can do a lot worse than Habakkuk 3:17-18. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Mike Pendray: Driving in Kenosha

http://mikependray.blogspot.com/2012/08/driving-kenosha.html

Thursday, August 23, 2012. Earlier this year I had my first experience of driving in America. We were lent a black Kia, and I became a Dallas Cowboys supporter for the week. I was glad to be picked up from the airport, and see how Americans drive on the interstate. They have a relaxed attitude to lanes, overtaking on the inside rather than getting wound up at people staying in an outside or middle lane. Quite a good idea, really. I found it difficult to get used to the four way stop. These also serve...

Mike Pendray: The Laindons, Hastings

http://mikependray.blogspot.com/2014/11/the-laindons-hastings.html

Sunday, November 16, 2014. The Laindons, Hastings. Jon and Sara made us feel welcome, and we felt very much at home during our 5 day stay at the Laindons. The accommodation is tastefully decorated, with a fishing or nautical theme, giving a relaxed and uncluttered feel throughout.The room was clean light airy warm and spacious. The bed was very comfortable and the en-suite with shower very adequate. It is not ideal for disability. Ann needed assistance, an arm or walking stick, for the three steps up...

Mike Pendray: A Father's Blessing

http://mikependray.blogspot.com/2012/08/fathers-blessing.html

Sunday, August 19, 2012. John and Kim, dearly loved, greatly treasured, highly esteemed. As you have each been as individuals, so may you ever be, and all the more so, as a married couple. May the son of man, who did not come to be served, but to serve, and give his life as a ransom for many, be your helper as you learn to love and serve each other in marriage.

Mike Pendray: Les Miserables

http://mikependray.blogspot.com/2013/01/les-miserables.html

Saturday, January 12, 2013. This is a great film, with very worthy performances. Of course it is a good show, with some great songs, but it did not feel like a story that was interrupted by the songs one bit. The songs were part of the emotion and the drama. There is plenty of emotion, and Anne Hathaway, Samantha Barks and Eddie Redmayne deserve all the awards that are coming their way. When Marius and Cosette first sing their love duet, there is a third voice singing. Samantha Barks plays Eponine, w...

Mike Pendray: What I learned from my trip to Geneva

http://mikependray.blogspot.com/2015/04/what-learned-geneva.html

Wednesday, April 22, 2015. What I learned from my trip to Geneva. This is what I learned from my trip to Geneva. Goodbye toothpaste. Buy 75 or 100ml of toothepaste next time. The 125ml went in the bin. Ho Hum. EasyJet plus (whatever that is) allows a hand (shoulder) bag as well as a cabin bag, but standard fare does not. We had to pack our smaller bags and their contents into the cabin bags, which was quite a squash. This was enforced even though most of the seats and cabin space was free.

Mike Pendray: Ingleborough

http://mikependray.blogspot.com/2015/03/ingleborough.html

Sunday, March 15, 2015. Yesterday I did my first trip up Ingleborough. Having visited High Bentham a few times, seeing the peak so close and enticing made it a very alluring goal. I parked in the car park by the library in Ingleton, and bought a map and a scarf and some lunch, and made my way up on the bridleway that starts just outside the village on the road to Hawes. On the way up, turning back to admire the view. A little higher, a little bit more to see. The View to the Northeast, to Simon Fell.

Mike Pendray: Marc Chagall

http://mikependray.blogspot.com/2012/08/marc-chagall.html

Wednesday, August 08, 2012. February last year four of us went to Nice, and we visited the Marc Chagall museum. We walked from our hotel, and up the hill near the flyover. Presumably there is a car park, but from the gate we went in we saw a garden, ticket office and shop to the left, a conservatory housing a cafe to the right, and the single storey museum ahead. Line was an important part of each composition. The angels sat at a horizontal table, and their wings made fairly vertical lines, while a s...
