Allergies

Our 15-year-old granddaughter Beatriz (Bia) is undergoing a series of tests for allergies after a recent serious incident. Thus far she has been shown to be seriously allergic to cats' fur, corn on the cob and melon.

A little boy aged five was found wandering near an overturned car at Garanhuns, north-east Brazil, with his dead parents in the car and a dead horse nearby which clearly the car had hit. The little boy is fine. The death toll in the alcoholic beverages contaminated with methanol has risen to 5 in São Paulo, with further suspected cases all over Brazil.

Temperatures in Basingstoke today have a low of 7 degrees and a high of 17 degrees. It's cloudy but without rain.

Thank you Dedé, Orlando, Roberto Tiburtino and Pastor Manoel Oliveira Filho for your recent comments on this blog. 

On Wednesday evening QPR drew again, This time it was at home 0 x 0 against Oxford, leaving them 10th out of 24 in the Championship. To date this season we have won 3, drawn 3 and lost 2 matches.

We went for a nice lunch with my sister and music teacher Jean yesterday in the Basingstoke Shopping Centre.

I have just read in 2 Chronicles 15:7 - "Be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded!" May God bless and encourage you as you read God's word today.

We are now in the autumn in the UK and all the millions of trees are changing colours with the leaves turning from green to yellow, gold and brown. It is a period of spectacular natural beauty!

This Sunday we will be speaking at the Rock Community Church, Devizes, Wiltshire, SN10 1FE at 10:30 am. Please be there if you can. It will be good to see the pastor David Fiddy (ex football referee!) and family who were with us last year in northeast Brazil on a missions trip.
