Church in Need: September 5 2023
Things are surely getting pretty warm again and I often have the windows shut while I work as that's cooler than keeping them open. I do have a fan going from time to time.
Amazing that only a few days ago I was wrapped up in a fleece!
St Neots Church has been covered with scaffolding for the past few weeks as it appears in need of some repairs.

That sheet on the fence says the church is over 600 years old, that's older than I thought actually! I think it's beautiful and love to be in its presence. No, I am not religious in case you were wondering..
Caught in the act.. 😠😄
Loved the sparkle on that soldier there but it doesn't come out that well unfortunately.
This is one of the beds by the memorial; I've downloaded a plant finder app the other day so I can record plants and flowers I come across on my walks to make plans for a garden. It works pretty well I must say, impressive!
Not on this image though, too many plants in one shot.
That's it for today; Thanks for looking!

I’m fascinated by churches but like you not at all religious. I’m not atheist though, I believe that there must be something but not in the religion of it all.
I think many non-religious feel that way that there must be something; our little brains can't comprehend how it all started and such like, religion may give answers to some but it's not for me.
I feel very privileged to have such a beautiful building on my doorstep! The noisy church bells on Sunday mornings included.. haha
We’ve got a few churches around our way, two in walkable distance, a third one that’s a ruin plus many others within a quick car drive.

I respect churches as buildings, but I am not a believer and some issues with organised religion. It has too much bad history.

I sent 1.0 HUG on behalf of @steevc.

Same here! Some good has come off religion but the majority isn't nice at all and is still causing grief to this day.
Hey Mia! Whatcha up to? 😂
😁
I’m having the issue you mentioned previously, I can’t see any pictures! 😭
But…and I’m laying my lack of geographical understanding on the table here, it’s wild to me that the weather for you is turning warm :) …Ours is just breaking…well it was 102F today, but the morning was cooler than most have been lately! Oh yeah, it was the hurricane, that’s what fooled me. We had a hurricane the other day pass through. For us it was extremely mild, a few power flickers, a little medium winds, and a heavy rain…but they say it’s always cooler after a hurricane, and I guess now things are just getting back to normal 🤪
Hey Rory!
Sorry, I missed this one.. 😌
Didn't you get to see any pics at all? It's weird isn't it? Now I can't remember if I used my phone or my PC to add them.. hmm
Hope you can see these screenshots down there that I just took..
I had to look up 102F ; I'm more of a centigrade kind o' girl.. 😂
That IS hot!!
A hurricane as well? Do you get that a lot where you are?
I think we have managed to pass "normal".. 😭
I hope you're having a lovely weekend my friend! Stay safe!
Hey, I can see them!!! Lovely shots! I’m crazy about old world architecture :)
I’ve actually been wanting to ditch the imperial system and better familiarize myself with the metric system; It just makes so much more sense. It’s tough though, mostly because when you’ve spent your whole adult life learning to be able to accurately gauge the difference between 1/32”, 1/16”, 1/8” etc, and memorizing the decimal equivalents (ie 1/8” = 0.125”), you feel some internal resistance to changing because you know that the metric system handles values and interdivisibility with such perfection that the crazy old fraction way of doing things really is unnecessary…and is sucks to let go of something you worked so hard for, and to feel like you’re starting over. In my mind, when I think 45mm, rather than picturing 45mm, I remember that 45mm is approximately 1.75”, and then I can picture it…which is crazy but my brain thinks in imperial units so deeply it’s been a real challenge to overcome. …then again, if you’re from Europe, you probably speak at least two languages so you’ve already had to overcome the same challenge on a far greater scale! LOL - that got awfully long! 🤣
EDIT: Before someone else calls me on it, I am aware that 45mm is more accurately converted to 1.77…”. But when i consider that, in my slow mind, I have to visualize 1.75” + 0.1625” (a sixteenth) because incan picture the two and add then visually, but i cant just outright visualize 1.77”…but if im trying to be accurate to that degree I will often use measuring tools. Anyway, thats simething that would also be easier if i just stick eith trying to think in metric. I’m sold!
🤣 Wow! I feel you!! Haha..
I have the same the other way round here.. It's lucky enough that the UK was, at least for a short while, part of the European Union so some measures got changed. They use litres and kilos now, so that is a relief!
I'm ok with miles and feet and such like, possibly from driving and biking but when I see your inches there 1/32”, 1/16”, 1/8” then my head starts spinning before it goes into total melt down.. 🤣
Still work in progress, after all I've only been here for just over 25 years... haha.. OMG, what a number! 🙈
You’re originally from Deutschland, right? I was thinking when I was writing that, I’m pretty sure the imperial system is named after the empire it came from, which would mean UK folks are probably familiar with it still…but then I thought, for some reason that’s also hard to imagine…probably because of their adoption of liters and kilos!
I'm sure you're right! I have never really thought about that, but that'll be it, I'm sure!
The younger generation is totally used to kilos and litre, and Centrigades too, but the older ones struggle, always that way, isn't it?
Deutschland indeed! Born and bred here... 😃
