Staying Cool During a Heatwave

How to keep your homes cool in London during a heatwave - keep the sun out by drawing the curtains.  If it gets too dark, switch the light on. It's a lot cheaper than getting air-conditioning. 😂

Other ways to keep cool during a heatwave:

- visit the supermarket.  Pretend to buy something otherwise, they will chuck you out;

- visit a shopping mall, you can stay there as long as possible;

- visit a library - some of them are air-conditioned;

- go to work as most businesses have air-conditioning. Don't forget to have a cardigan with you to keep yourself warm;

- visit a park and find shelter under a tree. 

If you can, avoid:

- buses. They may have air-conditioning, but they don't  seem to be able to cope with temperatures over 25 degrees Celsuis. However, you can keep cool, by always sitting on the side of the bus that's in the shade. You may have to keep swapping seats though;

- the tube (underground trains) as most of them are not very well ventilated;

- trains as the heat is likely  to affect the tracks; 

- being around people who love the heat as they're likely to irtitate you. 😂

Always carry a portable fan with you. 

Stay cool, Londoners and God bless you all. 😎

Jesus Heals

As Christians, we are the light of the world (Matthew 5: 14) and we are to shine the light of Christ wherever we are and glorify God.  One time while I was working on this TV project as a supporting artist aka extra, I started experiencing loss of vision, symptom of a migraine attack. I hadn't had one in many years. I told a friend I was working with how I was feeling. She offered me medication, but I declined. I told her I needed to take time out to pray. I then quietly reminded myself that "By His stripes I am healed." (Isaiah 53: 5)   After about fifteen minutes, my vision was back to normal and there was no headache. My friend, a non-believer, marvelled over how quickly I had got well.  I told her God had healed me.  I was even able to do a scene where we had to run from an attack.I  Another time, when I was working at this art gallery, a colleague, who is Muslim, told me he was having pain in one arm and couldn't lift it. I asked him if I could lay my ...

"A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps." Proverbs 16: 9 ----- After I finished my evening shift at this theatre, I stopped off at a store to get some grocery. I wondered if I should catch the tube home, but I decided to catch the bus instead. At the bus stop, I noticed a young man and woman. I noticed the woman was all wrapped up and shivering. I asked her if she was cold. She said she was from Kenya and not used to the cold weather. I told her she will still get used to the weather. When our bus arrived, I went upstairs. I was hoping to sit in front, but a passengr was already sitting on the right front seat. The left front seats were vacant, but I knew my Kenyan friends would enjoy those seats so I sat a few seats behind them. During the journey, the couple chatted to the passenger opposite. I heard them talking about a certain park, which I know very well.  The young man mentioned he had been showing his friend around London and even taken her to a mu...
