missing pics

made it back ok from canada. the usual missing a night's sleep was made better by the anticipation of the liverpool chelsea game which i'm sure you will know chelsea lost... - congrats to the reds. can't camplain after the season we've had.

found a couple of pics that never got added to the photo album of our trip to winnipeg. the first (click on image) is of the sign on the steps at one of the entrances to knox church - truly astonishing... maybe there's a cross cultural thing going on or did rubbers mean something else in a different era?

then the second is of wheat grass. dave and i tried a shot of it at a juice bar. as it sound it is grass crushed/juiced and comes out very dark green. you then have a chaser of orange juice (to take the taste away). it's supposed to be good for you but unsuprisingly it tasted like grass and we probably won't be having it again...

one other curious moment at the conference was when i discovered that the call to worship used by bill was space dust by vaux. small world eh?...

So maybe Knox Church is taking the Vatican on in the RC's stance on birth control... just i wild hypothesis.

I think its probably "rubber soled shoes"... like when you go on a squash court and it asks you not to wear certain soled trainers.

rubbers: black rubber thingies that go over your nice churchy shoes to protect them from snow and salt damage in the winter...

Hi. Couldn't view the photo, so I'm not sure exactly what the sign said, but "rubbers" would have used as a short form for rubber boots or rain boots, the way that Wellies is used on your side of the pond for "Wellington boots".
