Cannot understand!?
I have given it some thought to the rising prices of energy and I still have this mental block.
Russia are not providing gas so the stock and availability is less so prices go up. fair enough.
We are not buying from Russia so from whom? Are they charging too much?
Scotland is mostly Hydro elelctric ? nothing to do with Gas!
Energy company profits go up which implies charging too much! So nothing to do with supply costs.
So what is going on? Is it simple greed for more profit and more money under the guise of the war in Ukraine?
Love to know the answer ?

Prime Minister goes!
So here we have it the Prime Minister goes only after 44 days or so.
As I said to some folks the other day the government can only work with in a band of cultural acceptance and not any more. The recent days have proved that. So what ever the policies or strategy it must be within a threshhold or, there will be a revolution of sorts.
Hope we can get stability from somewhere.!

The Risen Media Worship Band
At a recent meeting of the band we settled for the name The Risen Media Worship Band for the meantime. - It says what it is.
We are playing in September and October. Dates are on the facebook page under events.
Dingwall Baptist Church Induction
Induction Dingwall Baptist Church
On the 3rd of September 2022 I was privileged to be at Alness Baptist Church, where I had been a member twice in the past, to witness the induction of Stephen Ilett into the Dingwall Baptist Church. This Church is relatively new, constituted April 1999 from like-minded people, some having previously been in Baptist fellowships, and the Church called the US Baptist Missionary William Rainey as Pastor. I was secretary and worship leader for a period before moving south of the border to work for a Charity in Cambridge.
Both Churches had grown from the work of individual pioneers.
Alness Bill Clark
( BUS supported work. Bill holding church in cafes in the 70’s!!)
Dingwall William Rainey
(American Baptist supported by Churches from the USA)
Stephen Ilett, I knew from the Alness days and he like I had been “Sent” to support the work by the Alness Church.
The day in question was emotional as I met people from 20 and 40 years ago under the same roof. That roof on the Alness Church was a new repaired one, but that is another story. The ceremony was in line with the Baptist Unions template and the Union was represented by Martin Hodson, General Director of th Baptist Union of Scotland.
A lightly formal meeting was concluded with an encouraging preach from the Alness Pastor Robert Adair followed by the Alness Church putting on the customary food and teas.
The conclusion of the day for me was seeing a friend take up the formal post of a church which I had been a part.
The church itself like so many is going through a review process to affirm the type of ministry it will have in the community.

Writers Hub
The writers hub has continued over the summer weeks. I have been involved in other things but, have a few projects for the colder weather.
Buckie gig -more than one instrament to the amp question
The band played last Friday at the beginning of the Keswick convention in Buckie. The praise was good with a strongly reeptive congregation.
I have been looking at how to have two basses available to play live without disconnecting from the guitars and getting that unprofessional noise. I have a two standard jack cable that goes to one cable.
But when i tried it it didnt work.
My next plan was to use a small mixer for both guitars then send the signal from which ever instrament to the effects and back to the mixer before on to the bass amp and Pa .
My trial run through last night at home worked well and looks like a GOOD method.
I then re checked the cable and discovered that it worked as well.!
Typical.
