    Preaching by Post - I have just received a hand written letter. 2nd class stamp so "personal" as such which was addressed to The Householder.
    On opening it, I found it was from a Jehova's Witness suggesting that I take a look at their Web site or even contact them by email and claiming that my life would be improved no end if I took that step.  There were several quotes from the Bible to prove this.  God will help us deal with today's problems, etc.  No explanation as to why it is taking Him so long but can't have everything I guess. 
    I presume Covid had an effect on their door stepping habits ( an advantage to many ? ) and the letter was polite - as are the JH's who come knocking at the door but a complete waste of their time/money and resources. 
    Wonder whether others have received similar correspondence recently ?

    We had one of those letters @philippasmith2. It was like chaff before the wind.

    Are airport security checks really random? I'm a grey haired lady well past middle age and I haven't even got metal fillings but, without fail, every single time outward and return journey I get stopped at the scanner.
    The only thing I can think it's is that once several years ago, I accidentally left a little bottle of hand gel in my luggage.
    Does the scanner machine know who you are? I don't see how🤔

    What is the world coming to?

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
