Vatican Roulette (24.9.2018)

. The Vatican defined the correct Catholic approach to a successful sexual encounter (in the eyes of god) to involve marriage, erection, ejaculation and conception. At no point in this natural  (and ‘divine’) process was the ‘secular’ science of humanity to interfere in any way. This meant that those using the rhythm method had to ‘guess’ when to attempt sexual intercourse at a time when the woman is not ovulating. Outside of medical science, this is very difficult feat to achieve without expert assistance, but as sperm can survive in the birth canal for sometime, ovulation can still occur some days later, etc.

Beautiful Brixham! (1.9.2018)

My maternal grandfather – Arthur Gibson – served in the Royal Navy Patrol Service (RNPS) during WWII (stationed in the North Atlantic). He loved Brixham and wanted to retire there, but unfortunately he passed away in 1997 before this dream could be fulfilled. Once a sailor always a sailor! We always think of him when we visit Brixham! When we arrived in the Central Car Park on this day, however, Mei-An soon spied a ‘painted rock’ nestled in a small space in the very high car park wall. This rock has the words ‘Rainham’ written on it, and instructions to take it and move it to another location! This rock is now in Sutton, Southwest London!
