JACKSPRAT

28TH MARCH 2020

Jack Sprat Could Eat No Fat. Jack Sprat could eat no fat, His wife could eat no lean; And so betwixt them both, They lick'd the platter clean.

At its origins “Jack Sprat” was known as a proverb, and the term used to refers at short people in the 16th century.

“Jack Sprat” Lyrics

Jack Sprat could eat no fat.
His wife could eat no lean.
And so between them both, you see,
They licked the platter clean
Jack ate all the lean,
Joan ate all the fat.
The bone they picked it clean,
Then gave it to the cat

“IF ALL THE WORLD WAS PAPER AND ALL THE SEA WAS INK.”

“IF ALL THE TREES WERE BREAD AND CHEESE.”

“WHAT WOULD WE HAVE TO DRINK?”

"If All The World Were Paper ' is an old English folk song that dates back to at least the reign of Charles I. The song, with six verses, is printed in "Witt's Recreations" described as a book of 'ingenious conceites' and 'merrie medecines', published in 1641.

OVER THE NEXT COUPPLE OF MONTHS WHILST THE WHOLE WORD OS DEALING WITH THE CURRENT OUT BREAK. THE ONE THING THAT WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT IS WATER.

ALREADY THIS YEAR WE HAD ISSUES WHERE WE WERE HAVING SO MUCH RAIN IN THE UK THAT IT WAS CAUSING FLOODING.

YET THE TABLES COULD TURN WITH IN DAYS DEPENDING UPON THE WEATHER AND THE AMOUNT OF WATER THAT WE HAVE IN RESERVOIRS AND USAGE.

THE AVERAGE PERSON SHOULD DRINK AROUND 8 GLASSES OF WATER PER DAY. LIVING ON THE CANAL NETWORK WE WOULD USUALLY FILL UP THE WATER TANK ABOUT EVERY 2 WEEKS WITH A FAMILY OF FOUR ON BOARD.

SO OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS THINK ABOUT YOUR WATER USAGE AND THINK ABOUT HOW WE COULD LOOK AT CUTTING BACK BUT STILL STAY HEALTHY.

WITH EVERYONE ALL MOST ALL OVER THE WORLD ON LOCK DOWN, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO POP TO YOUR LOCAL SHOP FOR TEA, COFFEE, MILK, JUICE OR SOMETHING ELSE.

SO IT WILL BE WATER THAT WE WILL ALL BE DRINKING (COUNCIL POP.)

MOST WILL DRINK STRAIGHT FROM THE TAPE, FILTERED OR BOILED.

SO PLEASE THINK ABOUT YOUR WATER USAGE EPICALLY DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS.

PLAN NOW!

Time Management, Home Schooling, Working from Home

18^th March 2020

Time Management.  Time Management, Home Schooling, Working from Home

Over the next couple of weeks time management is going to be very import to everyone. How many time have you said to your self “their is never enough hours in the day.”?

Over the next few week that is how I belie many of use are going to start to feel not to mention very stressed out and tired, both mentally and physically.

All I can say is take each day, day by day and make sure that you try to eat well and sleep well.

Many people will be currently looking at changing there life style with looking at working from home and home school their children.

Many of us will not just be worry about out selves but family and friends to.

So what can we do?

The fist thing that I am aiming to do with my family is aim to stick to the same routine that I would have stuck to as much as possible with a few changes thrown in.

My aim is to still wake up at the same time every day, eat at the same time every day and sleep at he same time every day.

With my children at home full time and not able to go any where I know that this will be very challenging and stressful. I will aim to keep each day fun and interesting for them. At the same time I will aim to carry on with my own every day routine like cooking, cleaning, taking care of the baby and working on my book.

I will start by breaking the day down into units of 20 minuets and aiming to do 20 minuet tasks just like I would do at eh weekend.

20 minuets breakfast

20 minuets get dressed

20 minuets work

20 minuets rest

20 minuets play

20 minuets snack

20 minuets rest

20 minuets work

20 minuets play

20 minuets work

20 play

20 lunch

20 rest

20 minuets (you get the picture) I am only looking at 20 minuet blocks to start off with due to the change of having 3 children at home full time and confined to a small space will be challenging.

I know that my attention span and able to do any thing is about 20 minuets. To chive more than this it take time and practice epically for children.

Some time my children will be happy to engage in an activity for longer than 20 minutes like watching TV or playing with cars.

But they can not so that every day, I would like then to continue with their education and I will be

need to look at fun ways to achieve this whilst maintaining day to day living too.

So I will see what support and guidance is offered to support me before Friday and then start to plans my daily activates.

Coronavirus 15TH March 2020 “KEEPING THE FAITH”

“CLEANLINESS IS NEXT TO GODLINESS”

15TH March 2020 “KEEPING THE FAITH”

At the moment we are in the middle of LENT for 40 day and nights. Lent is due to end on Mundy Thursday the 9^th April 2020.

During this 40 Day time period many of use think about things that we can give up, like chocolate, tea, coffee or eating out. The last thing on any ones mind was going to be having to give up human contact.

Unless you are thinking of the film 40 days and 40 nights with Josh Hartnett. https://youtu.be/oMDXmDOyWE8

So what should we do?

What can we do in your to “KEEP THE FAITH” and worship in a way that is still personal to your self?

On the BBC Breakfast this moring they talked about worship and how during 2020 ways of worship have got to change, so physical contact is a no, no at the moment.

Other things that may happen in the future so that you may no be able to take holly communion, but nothing on the news talked about only the Catholic and Christian faiths.

What about other faiths and communities hoe are they dealing with these new health guidelines and moving forward?

If it is around pray, then you can pray any where you do not have to go to a holly place of worship in order to do this.

But what is you are chose to go to a place of worship of other reasons, like confession, religious events like marriage, funerals, christenings. Will all of these stop?

The church and many other holly places for worship are also still very much the Heart of the religious and of every day life for many, Offering food and Aid to the general public despite many holly place of worship closing down due to lack of foot fall and lack of community spirit

So what can we do?

The answer is still pray and worship and to not get discourages or disheartened. Just because local and social functions and meetings may have to be suspended for a time. They have not been yet, so go to your Lent Groups, and other religious events that are very import to many.

When they time times that places of worship must close their doors then take to reading and watching the teaching for your faith from the heart of your own home.

This can be do the traditional way by picking up the Bible, Quran, or Torah etc. or by using social media that most places have worship have a link to in today modern society.

You can also watch religious channels on TV, and on line like YouTube.

So good luck and “Peace be with you.”
