Just popped back to tell you about the latest trouble my recycling has gotten me into!
School was throwing out some new tins of blue paint so I brought them home to put on Freecycle website.
Only remembered they were in the boot tonight, so about 10.15 went to get them, but dropped one of them; it landed upside down and and the lid came off - right in the gutter outside a neighbours house. Nightmare!!! The air was (quietly) as blue as the road!
Thankfully it was emulsion rather than gloss but it's taken me 2 hours to mop,scrub and rinse it all away with only one poxy torch to help. I may have missed bits in the dark and will have to check in the daylight but what a disaster on a Sunday night.
Here I am trying to do good things to save the planet and that's all the thanks I get.
January hasn't been very kind to me in one way or another so I'm hoping Feb will be better or I may just have to stay in bed for the whole of it to try to stay out of bother for a while!
Right I think I've sufficiently calmed down enough to sleep now so I'm definitely off to bed, so see you all tomorrow.
Nos Da pawb!

Oh, you poor thing!! I really hope it's not too bad. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Good morning, roommates! I'm back and will be catching up soon. For now, here's a quick postcard from Laodicea, once a prosperous city in Asia Minor and home to one of the seven churches of the Apocalypse.



Also, if you want to play a game on the tablet, here's mine

That's the impact that Renault had the last time they tried to sell their crappy cars over here.
They made even CHRYSLER products seem well made.

As I might have mentioned before, I have a very large Everglades rat snake that lives in a void beside one of my fish ponds. I only see him every now and then, but it is bright gold colored. Very beautiful.
Well, I found him dead this morning. He must have been inactive from the cold and one of the feral cats chewed him up.
One more step closer to declaring war on the feral felines now.

good morning one and all

Laodicea: built in 261-253 BC, possibly on the site of an older town. It is named in honor of Laodice, its founder’s wife. The founder, Antiochus II, was the descendant of one of Alexander’s generals who had inherited part of the Macedonian empire.


The city was later under the Kingdom of Pergamon, then under the Roman control, and finally a part of the Byzantine Empire. It had been completely destroyed in an earthquake in 60 AD, during the reign of Nero, but the Romans rebuilt the city. Hence, many of the ruins we find today date to that period.

It had two large theaters, at least one of which had a three-storey stage.

The agora was enormous, with a shallow pool in the middle.

To obtain water from the valley below, the city used the inverted syphon system with pipes of stone or clay.

A special seal was used along some ways to indicate the sewage under the pavement.

St. Paul mentions Laodicea in one of his epistles, and St. Phillip apparently was martyred in nearby Hierapolis. About 2000 Jewish families had been relocated here, which would explain why Jesus’s followers came all the way to preach here in the first place.


In the Book of Revelation, apparently God rebukes the church in Laodicea and tells it "to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.” Interestingly, Laodicea was very prosperous due to its trade, and among their well-known products were wool and textiles, as well as an ointment for eyes, something of an antibiotic of the time.


This church was built at the time when Christianity became the official religion in Byzantium. It was three stories tall, only the first of which is being restored at the moment.



That's enough quick history from me for today.
