CC’s JULY HOROSCOPES Aries Personal matters need to be sorted within your family and work. Be careful in how you approach these matters if you tread wisely matters can be soon solved. This is a good time to catch up on those jobs that need completing. Remember time out is also important to relax and chill.

Taurus This is a progressive phase but you do need to be on your toes and be careful of arrangements and agreements you enter into. Financial gain is within your reach if you think wisely. Don’t rush things.

Gemini Good things are favourable for you but you must be patient and not rush at things or you run the chance of making wrong decisions. This is a good time for you to get away from the every day to day things. Give yourself time to refresh, refocus and rethink things.

Cancer Its time for leisure and pleasure, gather up friends and family and organise some fun time with them. You deserve a well earned break and don’t be afraid to take it. Romance is in your favour, plan something random to help excite your relationship.

Leo Life is up and down … doubts about where you are at and what you should do. Avoid run ins with work colleagues. Keep life simple for now, spend time with your family which will help you think things through.

Virgo You have a strong desire for changes and new experiences. Career change seems to be a priority. Its time to push on with your dreams and make the changes. You will wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

Libra Opportunity for travel is in your favour. Give yourself some time to share with your family and friends. A break from work is well deserved. Focus your attention on your own needs for now.

Scorpio Your family and home are your priority. You are at a stage where you just want to do what you want and when you want. Sort out what is important to you and find the simple pleasures that you can pull back and enjoy.

Sagittarius You may not be feeling in top form, this maybe just the winter blues.

Some good advice from a friend or family member may help you sort through this dilemma.

Capricorn Making progress is hard work , maybe a good time to sit back a bit and take some time out with loved ones. This is just a phase that will pass and you will soon be in full swing again.

Aquarius Changing things around your home with a little creative flair will lift your spirits. Make time for outings with your friends enjoy a coffee or lunch date. Sharing your plans and ideas can sometimes be beneficial.

Pisces You tend to spread yourself to far. Concentrate on one thing at a time which will allow you to benefit from the rewards of growth and financial gains. Take time to discover new ways of pursuing growth within business. Grasp all opportunities.

Day/Date High

How are we all, are you keeping yourselves warm and free of the snuffles and bugs? Our weather is still pretty mild for this time of the year. We have the worst to come however we are already into July, next month we start heading towards spring with daffodils and lambs calves and birds. A beautiful thought and time of the year. Just a reminder if you are becoming un-well stay home so you don’t spread the bugs. You will get back to better health faster if you give yourself the time to recuperate. Tuck yourself up in bed and keep warm.

Lets spare a thought for all those families in grief with lost loved ones. Our road toll is at a disturbing rate . Please if you are out on the road take extra care. Things happen so quickly, don’t think you are bullet proof that nothing will happen to you. Each time you go out on the road there is a possibility that something could go wrong. Everybody needs to take extra care and drive to a safer standard.

Family violence! Its shocking to hear the amount of family violence the police are having to deal with.

Mum and dads fighting, children arguing with parents/siblings, X partners threatening women and children. Knifes, guns, suicide attempts and so on. Its hard to find words for all this, why and how has this got to a point of people with no respect for each other. So many people’s life’s seem screwed up in some way that they think this behaviour is acceptable and is the way to deal with their problems. There seems to be no value on a human being’s life anymore? New Zealand has a huge problem and somehow there has to be a fix to the behaviour of the public, changes within our law and stiffer penalties for crime, people need to be held accountable for their actions. No matter how bad things are, IT ‘S NOT OK for abuse of any kind to another human-being.

A special thought to our Emergency response teams you do a fantastic job for the community. Some of the jobs you deal with are disturbing to the mind, dealing with injured/dead people. When you hear/see the police, move out of their way as they are on their way to an emergency. Getting to the destination of their call out in time could be the difference of saving a life. This also applies to the ambulance, time is the factor of whether its a successful job or not. Lets also remember that our emergency people also have hearts and souls that are destroyed when dealing with the cleaning up of an accident and human bodies … seeing families ripped apart.

Our Fire boys, these guys are amazing risking their own lives to try and save another and someone they don’t even know. All hours of the day and night they are there for that call out saving peoples lives and possessions.

Huge THANK YOU to our Recue Response Teams, Police, Ambulance, Fire Department Crews Let’s remember these people are human too just like us they have families.

They are the ones we call when we are in difficulties. They do their best to help us in our time of need

Car theft If you have been a victim of car theft you know how much distress and inconvenience it can cause with financial loss and damage, and the emotional stress.

Valuable Items Don’t tempt fate. Don’t leave valuable items visible in your car you only invite thieves to smash your windows and take your property. You may as well stick a "Steal Me!" sign on your car. Always put items out of sight or hide in the boot.

Always lock your car: Lock your car and completely close all windows and sunroofs when it’s unoccupied ... Lock your car at the gas stations.

Keys Don’t leave your car with the keys in the ignition.

Don’t keep a spare set of keys in or on your car they will find your keys no matter where you hide them.

Park Carefully Think about where you park you car. Try to choose busy areas that are well lit areas, this is safer for you as well as your car. The threat of being seen will hopefully deter thieves from attacking your car. Use a parking building with an attendant if possible. At home, if you have a garage – use it and make sure you lock the garage door.

Alarms Think about installing tracking systems or an alarm, let the criminals know by placing a sticker on your window. A steering wheel lock may also help to deter thieves.

At your library now…

Three reads to tide you over until next issue (remember Greerton Library is closed until 15th July and you can’t return books there in the meantime)

Street Fight: Urban renewal in feral parts of the world’s most unfriendly cities – including Auckland! – forms a revolutionary read from Janette Sadik-Khan. She uses radical new schemes and ideas to create safer cities in Street Fight.

Lust and Wonder: Gay American Burroughs has continued to mine his poor family’s bottom drawers and completes the Running With Scissors trilogy finally with Lust & Wonder. Still gets chuckles.

Stalin’s: been out of the spotlight for a wee while now. Not any longer, with Oleg Khlevniuk’s Stalin placing his moustachioed mug to the fore in an authoritative new work.

A.A - Alcoholics Anonymous NZ If your drinking has reached the point where it worries you a bit, you may be interested in knowing something about Alcoholics Anonymous and the A.A. program of recovery from alcoholism. Determine, for yourself, whether or not alcohol had truly become a problem for you. And remember that you will always be welcome to join the thousands of men and women in A.A. who have put their drinking problems behind them and now lead "normal" lives of constructive, day-by-day sobriety.

We in A.A. are men and women who have discovered, and admitted, that we cannot control alcohol. A few of us had become derelicts before turning to A.A. for help. Some of us had been hospitalized or jailed.

We had committed grave offenses - against society, our families, our employers, and ourselves. Others among us have never been jailed or hospitalized. Nor have we lost jobs or families though drinking. But we finally came to a point where we realized that alcohol was interfering with normal living. When we discovered that we could not live without alcohol, we, too, sought help through A.A. Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.

Are children who act in rated 'R' movies allowed to see them?

KEEP WARM >>> BUT DO NOT leave heaters unattended and always unplug heaters when not in use.

KEEP flammable materials away from the heater.

DO NOT plug any other electrical device into the same outlet as your heater. This could result in overheating.

KEEP heaters away from children and don't place in a child’s room without supervision.

WATCH children wearing nightgowns or other loose clothing that can be easily ignited DO NOT use a heater with a damaged cord Inspect the heaters and cords from time to time.

DO NOT use in damp or wet areas. Avoid using electric space heaters in bathrooms DO NOT block heater’s air intake or exhaust exit.

KEEP combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and curtains at least three feet from the heater PLUG the heater directly into an outlet. Attaching an extension cord to the unit increases the chance of overheating, fires.

DO NOT use your heater with extension cords. Overheating of extension cord could result in a fire.

DO NOT touch the heater if you are wet or have wet hands, as this increases the risk of electrical shock.

SWITCH OFF and unplug the heater when leaving it unattended. . Do this when you go to Bed.

Fireplace Tips DO NOT use flammable liquids to start or accelerate any fire.

DON’T use excessive amounts of paper to build roaring fires in fireplaces. It is possible to ignite creosote in the chimney.

NEVER burn charcoal indoors. Burning charcoal can give off lethal amounts of carbon monoxide.

KEEP flammable materials away from your fireplace. A spark from the fireplace could easily ignite these materials.

BEFORE you go to sleep, be sure your fireplace fire is out. NEVER close your damper with hot ashes in the fireplace.

A closed damper will help the fire to heat up again and will force toxic carbon monoxide into the house.

USE SAFETY guard screens to prevent children getting to close NEVER discard hot ashes inside or near the home. Place them in a metal container outside and well away from the house.

If you have a fire and you’re not sure what to do ...

Get Out &Stay Out! Fire: Well we have had heaps of advice in this news letter about keeping yourself and your family safe, and how to see that your home is safe….NOW …

THE QUESTION IS … HAVE YOU TAKEN ANY NOTICE???

Have you checked your smoke alarms? Or have you ignored all the advice and ads on TV… think how you would feel if one of your kids got severely burnt or killed due to the lack of checking your smoke alarms or putting smoke alarms in your home.

DON’T PUT THIS ON THE GUNA DO LIST!!!

Do it now!!!

“Good Grief” Time…how long does grief take? There are plenty of expectations about this, most of which aren’t particularly helpful to those grieving.

Let's check out some of the common ‘myths’ about this. Myth: A grieving person should be over their grief after two weeks. Reality: There is no definite timeline for grief; it may take weeks, months, years or a lifetime to process a loss. How long depends on the person, the situation and the type of loss. Myth: The grieving person should definitely be "over it" within two months. Reality: There is no definite timeline for grief. Myth: Grief declines over time in a steadily decreasing fashion. Reality: Grief is more like a roller coaster ride with up times and down times. Myth: Once over a loss, the grief is never experienced again. Reality: A place, a smell, a song, or a special date may trigger the old memories. Grief may be experienced again. Myth: Grief ends after the funeral. Reality: Many people believe that life should return to normal after the funeral service. However, this may be the start of the .grieving .process as the shock and numbness give way to the reality of the loss. Myth: Grief eventually ends.

Reality: In time most people learn to live with the loss. (Taken from http://dying.about.com/od/lossgrief/a/griefmyths_3.htm )

Grief Support Services is a local agency offering free counselling to individuals and families affected by loss and grief. We also run an After Suicide Support Group.

“Pain is your friend; it is your ally. Pain reminds you to finish the job and get the hell home. Pain tells you when you have been seriously wounded. And you know what the best thing about pain is?

It tells you you’re not dead yet!” – G.I Jane Tough times never last, but tough people do. – Robert H Schuller “What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson The difference between stumbling blocks and stepping stones is how you use them. – Unknown A problem is a chance for you to do your best. – Duke Ellington Never let your head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve.

Find another way. And don’t pray when it rains if you don’t pray when the sun shines. –Leroy Satchel Paige Ask not for a lighter burden, but for broader shoulders. – Jewish Proverb Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity is a greater one. Possession pampers the mind; privation trains and strengthens it. – William Hazlitt When things are bad, we take comfort in the thought that they could always get worse. And when they are, we find hope in the thought that things are so bad they have to get better. – Malcolm S Forbes If you don’t like something change it; if you can’t change it, change the way you think about it. – Mary Engelbreit “If you aren’t in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?” – Unknown The hardest struggle of all is to be something different from what the average man is. – Charles M Schwab The true test of a persons character is how they stand during a test of adversity – Unknown “Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” – Michael Jordan He knows not his own strength who hath not met adversity. – William Samuel Johnson Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them. – Publilius Syrus I learned there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead, others come from behind. But I’ve bought a big bat.

I’m all ready, you see. Now my troubles are going to have trouble with me. – Dr. Seuss http://addicted2success.com/quotes

When the boss returned from lunch, he was in a great mood. He called the whole staff in to listen to a couple of jokes he had picked up.

Everybody laughed uproariously, except for one woman.

“What’s the matter with you?” said the boss.

“Don’t you have a sense of humor?”

“I don’t have to laugh,” she replied. “I’m leaving Friday.”

Treat a difficult child the way you would your boss at work. Praise his achievements, ignore his tantrums and resist the urge to sit him down and explain to him how his brain is not yet fully developed. ~Robert Brault What's the difference between beer nuts and deer nuts?

Beer nuts are $1.50 and deer nuts are under a buck.

I ain't saying the customer service in my bank is bad, but when I went in the other day and asked the clerk to check my balance… she leaned over and pushed me.

Little Johnny once bought his Grandma a very nice, luxurious toilet brush for her birthday. But when he went to visit her a couple of weeks later, it wasn't in the bathroom.

Little Johnny asked his Grandma, “Gran, what happened to the toilet brush I gave you?”

“Darling, I'm sorry but I just didn’t like it. After all those years, I’ve gotten used to the toilet paper, and this new thing was just too scratchy.”

When Susan's boyfriend proposed marriage to her she said: ''I love the simple things in life, but I don't want one of them for my husband''.

The cop got out of his car and the kid, who was stopped for speeding, rolled down his window. “I’ve been waiting for you all day,” the cop said.

The kid replied, “Yeah, well I got here as fast as I could.”

KEEP YOUR GERMS TO YOURSELF! …

STAY HOME DON’T SHARE YOUR BUGS If you are sick — sneezy, headache-y, feverish, sweaty, nauseous, full of diarrhea — stay home! Don’t send your children to school if they are unwell. Offices and classrooms are breeding grounds for colds and coughs. Nothing worse than someone sitting at their desk, sneezing every five minutes spreading infected crap into the air flowing for miles, and blowing their nose and sneezing infected green slim into hanky's and tissues? Handling dirty hankies in and out of their pockets and not washing their hands and spreading the bugs to everything they touch. Show some respect to your work mates and friends don’t put them at risk of catching your bugs.

Dispose of tissue by flushing them down the toilet. Don’t drop them around on tables. Make sure you wash wash and wash your hands with soapy water properly to help prevent spreading germs. … not just a quick dab under a tap. This also goes for washing your hands after going to the toilet. The quick dab under tap barely wetting the finger tips is NOT washing your hands. Witnessing people walking out of toilets and not washing their hand OMG this is so not nice! …

For the people who don’t wash their hands this is a reminder pee and poo is waste from your body that carries bacteria and bugs. Spreading this around the place where other people are is very unkind and disgusting of you.

Please be kind to others.

Stay home, rest up and get better faster.

TRAVEL SAFE

Make sure you check your car over before you start your trip.

See that you have good tyres on your car.

Make sure your warrant, registration is up to date and 3rd party insurance.

Don't drive while impaired by drugs or alcohol.

Plan your trip take a break every two hours to avoid fatigue Give yourself plenty of time to reach your destination See that your children are strapped in safely and correctly Slow down, wear a seatbelt and drive to the conditions. . Let faster traffic past dangerous risks are taken when frustrated.

Make sure you have clear vision when over-taking.

Obey all traffic signals/signs Don't use your mobile phone while driving.

A reminder road rage doesn’t solve anything, it just may bring you and others grief. dial *111 to report any dangerous driving … stop in a safe place to do this

Call Dirk McTavish: 07 5432521 Mobile: 0221 231 591 Email: dirkmac@mail.com Website: www.cybaIT.com Being flood wise The recent devastating floods in the lower North Island are a timely reminder of how we need to be better prepared for floods. Flooding is certainly one of the natural hazards that Tauranga is most at risk from.

Floods are usually caused by continuous heavy rain or thunderstorms but can also result from tsunami and coastal storm inundation. A flood becomes dangerous if: the water is very deep or travelling very fast the floods have risen very quickly the floodwater contains debris, such as trees Before the flood Find out from your local council if your home or business is at risk from flooding Know where the closest high ground is and how to get there Make a Household Emergency Plan (including an Emergency Grab Bag) During the flood Listen to your local radio stations Put your household emergency plan into action and check your getaway kit.

Where possible, move pets inside or to a safe place, and move stock to higher ground.

Consider using sandbags to keep water away from your home.

Fill bathtubs, sinks and storage containers with clean water Do not attempt to drive or walk through floodwaters unless it is absolutely essential.

After the flood Help others if you can, especially people who may require special assistance.

Throw away food including canned goods and water that has been contaminated Check with your local council or public health authority before using the water.

If your property is damaged, take notes and photographs for insurance purposes.

Check for injuries, check if your neighbours need any assistance Report broken utility lines to appropriate authorities If your property or contents are damaged take notes and photographs when it is safe to do so

Dogs and safety Little, medium and big dogs can look ever so cute, adorable however this does not mean that you ... a stranger to the dog can just walk up hug, kiss and pat it. In lots of ways dogs are similar to children some are quite, shy, scared, and then you get the ones that don’t mind a stranger. All dogs belong to their owners not a stranger. You wouldn't like a stranger to just appear and start playing, hugging or kissing your child, well it is the same for dog owners. Many people don’t think!. It is only polite to ask before you touch a dog you don’t know. Maybe the dog is not a peoples dog or maybe it’s in training or maybe the dog is not well. If you see a dog you like the look of make sure you ask if you can pat the dog listen to the owner, don’t let your children hug and climb around the dog. Teach your children the right way to meet and greet a dog. Children cry if they are not happy and don’t want to be around you … A dog cant cry they may show their fear by nipping you if you insist on getting in their space. Please show respect to the dog owner and their pooch.

When you do greet the dog don’t grab at it or try to hug it.

The correct way to greet a dog is to slowly put your hand out facing down and let the dog sniff it. Your tone of voice will also determine if the dog is happy to be around you. If the dog is happy it is then ok to slowly pat it on the side of its face by the ears. If you have your hand above the dog it might make the dog think you are going to hit it. Do not put your face around dogs you don’t know.

It’s daunting living and working in a community where the gap between the haves and the have-nots is visible and widening all the time. Sometimes, the gap seems unbridgeable.

Education can be the key to rising above your situation – studying for a qualification in an area that interests you can lead to a better paying job or a more satisfying career. These days, we have many different opportunities to learn, whether it be night classes, part-time, full time or even online.

It can be difficult to get back into studying. Sometimes it’s just about timing, or having the right support to gain the confidence to take that step.

Taking the risk to find a new pathway in life can pay off in more ways than just financially. Why not approach a university or a polytechnic and just see what is available.

Most have supports that make it easier for you to achieve your goals.

PLAN TO LOOK AFTER YOURSELF AND YOUR LOVED ONES FOR AT LEAST 3 DAYS OR MORE Many disasters will affect essential services and possibly disrupt your ability to travel or communicate with each other. You may be confined to your home, or forced to evacuate your neighbourhood. In the immediate aftermath of a disaster, emergency services will not be able to get help to everyone as quickly as needed.

This is when you are likely to be most vulnerable. So it is important to plan to look after yourself and your loved ones for at least three days or more in the event of a disaster.

Get your family or household together and agree on a plan. A functional emergency plan helps alleviate fears about potential disasters, and can help you respond safely and quickly when a disaster happens. You can get a copy of a household emergency plan and checklist from your local council, or download one to print at www.getthru.govt.nz A household emergency plan will help you work out:

      

What you will each do in the event of disasters such as an earthquake, tsunami, volcanic eruption, flood or storm.

How and where you will meet up during and after a disaster Where to store emergency survival items and who will be responsible for maintaining supplies.

What you will each need to have in your getaway kits and where to keep them.

What you need to do for members of the household, family or community with a disability or special requirement.

What you will need to do for your pets, domestic animals or livestock.

How and when to turn off the water, electricity and gas at the main switches in your home or business.

Turn off gas only if you suspect a leak, or if you are instructed to do so by authorities. If you turn the gas off you will need a professional to turn it back on and it may take them weeks to respond after an event.

 

What local radio stations to tune in to for civil defence information during an event.

How to contact your local council’s civil defence emergency management office for assistance during an emergency.

If life or property is threatened, always dial 111.

Give good clear Information and stay on the line Emergency Services

Call 111 IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO ASK FOR HELP …. IF YOU NEED HELP YOU MUST ASK FOR IT … IT’S NOT OK … HELP STOP THE CYCLE OF ABUSE.

FAMILY VIOLENCE CAN HARM YOUR CHILD FOR LIFE

Babies and infants are precious. Everything babies and toddlers experience affects their brains forever. The way you treat your children counts – and it counts long term. Children are not tough. They are not too young to notice. They do not just get over it.

Love care and attention will help children to become happy and stable adults. Shouting, hitting, violence, abuse and ignoring your child have a very bad effect on your baby’s and young child’s brain development. This can cause problems later at school; as teenagers; as adults. Parenting can be tough but one of the most important things you can do is provide a safe home, calm and free from violence for your children. If you get early help the risk of the children suffering long term effects will be less. To get help talk to someone you trust.

Parsley Do you have more parsley than you can eat? A friends of mine gave me a huge bunch and told me to dry it out in the oven and put in a glass bottle. I had never done this before as I always put it in the freezer.

Chop the parsley up in your kitchen whiz Spread over baking paper Put in the oven bake between 150-180 Don’t walk away stay and watch it as it dries pretty quick and will burn Stir it around otherwise it will burn (I guess this is how they dry weed?) Lol When you think it is done enough put on the bench to cool When it is completely cooled down put into a glass jar And now you have free flow parsley anytime you need it.

Operanesia Revisited Saturday 13 August 2016 at Holy Trinity Tauranga.

Take a musical trip to the islands with the return of Operanesia, the highly talented quartet who graced the stage at Holy Trinity for Waipuna Hospice late last year. Opera isn’t their only thing, and another expansive repertoire of songs you know and love will tickle your ear drums – much like the breeze on a balmy Pacific day… This time we are also pleased to welcome Imogen Thirlwell to the stage.

More details and tickets available at www.waipuna-hospice.co.nz While you’re online, purchase the new Entertainment membership, either in book or digital format, and maybe a packet of gift cards? All ways you can help Waipuna Hospice care for your family, neighbours and friends.

Facebook page: www.facebook.com/WaipunaHospiceTauranga and our website are great ways to keep up with coming events, volunteer vacancies and information about Waipuna Hospice services.

When people say, "I’m so tired it's not even funny" or "my head hurts so much it's not even funny", why would it even be funny in the first place?

Better Send Off - Funeral Guide Giveaway Just like talking about sex won't make you pregnant, talking about death won't make you dead!

From the time we are born we are all dying, everything that lives must die - we plan for births and marriages and other significant events in our lives but most of us don't give our departure from this earth much thought.

Gail McJorrow, author of NZ's best-selling Funeral Guide - 'Better Send Off' has now made it easy for you with her one-stop shop funeral website and book. The website is a first for NZ and has all the information you will need to learn not only how to save thousands of dollars on a funeral but also all sorts of ideas on how to personalise a funeral as well as leave a 'green' footprint. There is a comprehensive products and services directory that sells everything from inexpensive flatpack beautiful pine caskets to hand-blown glass jewellery and ornaments that hold a portion of your loved ones ashes.

Gail says pre-planning is crucial to having a good send off. You can download a 'Funeral Wish List' from her website and she urges you to take half an hour out of your life to do this; at the very least you must let your family know if you want to be buried or cremated. She has seen families fall out over what song was played at the funeral. By letting your family know your wishes they won't have to second guess and you will make their life easier at what will be a very hard and stressful time for them. website www.bettersendoff.co.nz - the book is also available at bookstores nationwide rrp $29.95 Better Send Off Facebook page.

EASY AS - FAST AS - YUM AS Banana Fritters I was on face book the other day and came across easy as banana fritters, so I thought I would give them a go and see what they were like.

All you need is Two Eggs and a good size banana (Yep this is it) Mash the banana well so it’s near enough to no lumps Mix into the two eggs (You can add a bit of flour) Oil your pan so they don’t burn and cook as you would any other fritter Eat as they are or add cream or yogurt or maybe ice-cream and topping.

Great as a snack or pudding.

FAMILY: Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days.

But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than into our own family.

Are YOU investing enough into your family?

So true!

Family (As heard on the 1XX Breakfast Show with Colin Magee).

I ran into a stranger as he passed by, "Oh excuse me please" was my reply.

He said, "Please excuse me too; I wasn't watching for you."

We were very polite, this stranger and I, we went on our way and we said goodbye.

But at home a different story is told, how we treat our loved ones, young and old.

Later that day, cooking the evening meal, my son stood beside me very still.

When I turned, I nearly knocked him down, "Move out of the way," I said with a frown.

He walked away, his little heart broken. I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.

While I lay awake in bed, God's still small voice came to me and said, "While dealing with a stranger, common courtesy you use, but the family you love, you seem to abuse.

Go and look on the kitchen floor, you'll find some flowers there by the door.

Those are the flowers he brought for you, he picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue.

He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise, you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes."

By this time, I felt very small, and now my tears began to fall.

I quietly went and knelt by his bed; "Wake up, little one, wake up," I said.

Are these the flowers you picked for me?" He smiled, "I found 'em, out by the tree.

I picked 'em because they're pretty like you, I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue."

I said, "Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today, I shouldn't have yelled at you that way."

He said, "Oh, Mum, that's okay. I love you anyway."

I said, "Son, I love you too, and I do like the flowers, especially the blue." -(unknown) .

TV Shops

Recently purchased the paint Roller from the TV shop as it looked pretty good and the fact that I was going to do some painting I thought I’d give it ago. I have to say It’s fantastic!. Again another great product it does the job just like they tell you on the TV. I Rate this product 10/10 If you have painting to do get yourself one of these paint rollers, you will wonder why you never had one sooner. Gone are the paint trays full of paint that you tip and spill every where. Up and down the ladders rolling the old paint rollers in the paint trays. These are clean to use no paint flicking of the roller and it’s so much faster to paint the jobs done before you know it. I love this paint roller. There are other painting tools in the box (cutting tools) but I haven't had the chance to try them.

Just to mention the cleaning is easy just rinse under the tap until water runs clean.
