Britain is in a panic because horse meat is being discovered in various ready-made food products (a lasagne described as 100% beef was found to be 100% horse!) so I thought I'd make my own home made burgers. This is the result:




I have been hearing about this all week - I understand from the news reports that the source of most of the horse meat is France and that it is  common to eat horse meat in France , is that true?

Oui.

Or, Yes, if you don't speak Francais.

Actually, I don't know how "common" it is but in my forays into France I have seen horse meat on some menus.

Church was sparsely attended today -  usually we have about 300  people in the first service -  today we had  maybe 40

Our wi-fi has flaked out, so I'm posting now on my phone.  It may also mean that it will look like I'm logged in all night because I can't log out on the iPad.

As we were leaving we saw arriving for the second service one of our members with a severely disabled adult son in a wheelchair.  She was struggling to get through the parking lot - the Vixter  ran to help pull the wheelchair (pushing was not an option) and I ran into the church to get a shovel as I could see the path was not wide enough to get the chair through.

As I  was  coming out of the church with the shovel in my hand a 14 year old  boy was running up the path ,He asked for the shovel and ran back to start digging the path.

So I went in and grabbed another shovel only to have one of the young fathers  take it  and run to join the digging

So I went back and got the last shovel  and managed to make one shovel  full when  I was also relieved of that by another young man.

Then  one of the cars  stopped at the crosswalk and the driver jumped out  and stopped traffic in both directions while he assisted with getting the wheelchair across the road 

It was nice seeing so many people jumping in to help without anyone needing to be asked

I just had a 1.5 hour long phone call with the Man From Philadelphia about tomorrow's interview. 

It was fun.

Honestly, I wonder sometimes if the local critic even SEES the shows he criticizes. I thought the Bob Merrill show was loads of fun. And Brad Ellis totally stole the show.

My afternoon nap turned into too many hours. And I'm still draggy. I'm not ill in any other way, but this is strange. Still, I needed the down time.
