1. Encourage Others To Go Generous - 07 Oct 2005

   See this now as a basic part of our lives. Church members (St Paul’s Cambridge) have taken the Hippos, next door neighbour is looking into changing his investments to ethical, have set up a local generous group who will be doing a special event this christmas – watch this space!

2. Make A Special Effort To Look Out For Strangers - 07 Oct 2005

   It is embarrassing filling this bit in but for the sake of the project here goes. We have befriended a woman in her 60s who is in a wheelchair and has been for 35 years, following a horse riding accident in Argentina. – she was in the diplomatic service at the time. She only has the use of one arm and no leg use, but she has a very agile mind. We take her to Anglesey Abbey for a walk and lunch regularly; we visit her and take her stuff regularly; we whell her to events at the church and we listen to her very long and rambling telephone calls regualrly. Big deal, we have very privileged lives, so doing this frankly is nothing.

   Jules sorted out all the crap cupboards and again the sallie took the brunt

6. Slow Down, Calm Down (Stick to the speed limit) - 08 Oct 2005

   I have 9 points on my driving licence….

   I drive 25,000 miles a year for my job so this is a big issue

   really trying, frankly have no choice but it is so hard.

   So many speed limits seem so utterly random – one minute 50 then 30 then 50. If you are having a good converstation in the car,.....
