This is the latest pylon Eiffel Tower model project. Made from BBQ skewers so at least it didn't cost as much as the last one. He's very pleased with it...
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
To be honest, @Hostafan1, I don't think I'd bother getting too hot under the collar about Leviticus. Most things written that long ago (538 to 332 BC) aren't terribly relevant today... and anyone who tells you to live your life differently because of what people thought that long ago, needs their head examined, in my opinion.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Jesus didn't always abide by the Old Testament, he rescued the adultress from being stoned, he spoke to the Samaritan woman by the well (therefore, not a racist), he did things on Sundays instead of doing nothing and he changed the 10 Commandments to Love God and Love Your Neighbour. The OT is full of the rules of those times, like not eating seafood (food poisoning) and not eating pork (pigs had tapeworms). As @Liriodendron said it's not terribly relevant today. Personally @Hostafan1, I think Justin Welby is mistaken about not allowing gay marriage. Maybe he was afraid of the reactions of the more bigoted members of his church. The lovely vicar of the church I go to is gay and has a partner who he loves dearly. He's desperately disappointed.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
When we lived in England I was a member at the Methodist church in the town, where the minister was gay and married... not all Christians are bigoted...

years ago Hubby and I were invited to the "ordination" of a gay friend of ours. He lived with his partner, but there were not allowed to have sex. I seem to remember Rev Richard Coles saying something similar on Radio 2.
I remember Richard Coles saying that too @Hostafan1. Absolutely ridiculous. Churches, of whatever stripe, always seem to be arranged around what suits elite men best. I no longer believe in 'god'. But I do believe in 'nature' and the lessons nature has for us are writ large, everywhere you look.
Yes I also remember that. Totally bonkers and inhumane. But then I’ve a strong distrust of organisations that attract folk who like to dress up and tell others how to live their lives.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
