288/365:2010 Westward Leading

The new variable speed limit signs on the M1 heading west between Stockman's Lane and Dunmurry. Does anyone actually stick to the reduced speeds? Is it making any difference to traffic?

281/365:2010 Swing Your Partner!

It's Harvest Weekend in church, and we had our Harvest (Sausage/Chicken/Pasty) Supper from the Golden Chip, followed by a Barn Dance. I think this was the only dance I wasn't up for all night, so got a photo taken.

275/365:2010 Walled City Market

I sometimes like to get out and about on my day off, so today I headed up to the Maiden City, Derry, Londonderry, Legenderry. There was a wee 'Walled City Market' on in Guildhall Square, so I sampled a burger on offer. This picture was taken from Shipquay Gate on Derry's walls. Not bad weather for an October Saturday!

273/365:2010 First Christmas Card

Yes, it's the last day of September, and I've just received my first Christmas card! It's part of a mailing from Hayes and Finch, the clerical outfitters and church supplies stockist.

I don't think we'll put it up just yet!

272/365:2010 Funderland

Just a quick shot taken from the Boucher Road, near the Driver and Vehicle Test Centre. I wouldn't be a fan of these sort of things - at BB Camp, I was always the designated bag and wallet carrier as I didn't go on any of the rides!

Having experienced the taste of 'typico canarias', we made some seafood paella tonight. The prawns we got had been beheaded, otherwise we would have had a real fish eye in the picture!

269/365:2010 Ballyvea Hall

Preached tonight at a harvest thanksgiving in Ballyvea Church Hall, in the townland of Ballyveaghmore in the parish of Annalong. The wee hall is up in the Mournes, and you park in the field beside it! It was great being back with the people of Kilhorne.

268/365:2010 Lost and Found

268/365:2010 Lost and Found

The other issue with our flight home was the rerouting due to French air traffic control striking. A longer route over the Atlantic needed more fuel, but the plane would have been too heavy to take off from Arrecife airport. Most of the luggage was removed from the plane, to be returned to us at some point. Two days later than us, Lynsey's bag arrived home.

266/365:2010 Last Resort

Our last day in Playa Blanca, and another warm one. We had loads of time before the flight to take a walk up the town, and then it turned out we had lots of time at the airport with the flight delayed by four hours...

I used this yesterday in church as the object for the childrens' talk, speaking on the unfruitful fig tree in Mark 11. The checkout guy in Tesco didn't know what it was!
