Hello and welcome to Friday! I’m informed by my Ma that my counting is off and my Grandad has actually been dead or ‘promoted to glory’ as his Salvation Army upbringing would have it, 16 years ago not 12 as I said yesterday. I’m confusing my grandfather with my father who has been dead 12 years. It’s not complicated, I’m just forgetful!

Here are this week’s links…

1) 20 lies parents tell their children

2) The local versus imported food argument

3) Although I don’t agree with all of it, it’s nice to see some evangelicals are starting to re-think how they approach LGBT people.

4) Two things about this story. One – a Moomin Cafe? Two – eating with a stuffed animal at the table takes me back to being a small kid!

5) 200 girls are missing in Nigeria. I knew about this, but I didn’t know that they hadn’t been found yet.
