I thought it was the law to say 'in otter news' whenever there was an otter? And... has this otter ruined it for all the invited otters... And 'uninvited otter' great name for a band...

Some haggling success, @martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com, BT broadband due for renewal in July, started the leave process to move to Vodaphone, but stopped before completing the order... 30 mins later, call from BT offering me the next speed up for Β£10pcm less than my bill with no hikes until 2026!

Huge car finance mis-selling news (if you’ve bought a car on finance since 2007)
YouTube video by MoneySavingExpert.com Huge car finance mis-selling news (if you’ve bought a car on finance since 2007)

The regulator the FCA has today announced its intent to move to an industry-wide mass redress scheme for car finance claims, ie you’ll be paid automatically. Here’s how it’ll work and what we know so far…

Selected Early Writings of the Poets
Β 

I

the roses are red
and all the violets are blue
oh look, a haiku

- Basho

II

Roses are red,
unlike those daffs,
I wander lonely
as a giraffe cloud.

- William Wordsworth
Β 
III

Look – the roses are red!
They make my heart sing!
They fill me with hope –
Like a feathery thing!

- Emily Dickinson

IV

ROSES ARE … NO!
WHAT HAVE I DONE?
I MUST HAVE LEFT
MY CAPS LOCK ON

- ee cummings

V

Roses are dead,
see how they droop.
All of us die:
life’s only truth.

- Philip Larkin

VI

The roses had gone
(unlike my bunion)
so got this instead –
here, have an onion.

- Carol Ann Duffy

                                 Brian Bilston

If you’re struggling to write a poem for a loved one for Valentine’s Day, take heart: even the great poets had to start somewhere.

For my church @faithchurch.wales we've been using metricool.com which allows posting to FB, X, BlueSly and Youtube (when it's a video). Really helped with the move over to BlueSky as we test the proverbial waters!

I loved preaching this on Sunday! God put this word on my heart for us, about restoration. And even gave me a poem to go with it😁
