I am still here but am no longer posting on Twitter. Find me on LinkedIn instead: https://t.co/oCHswrG000

I am planning to leave Twitter soon. It is not what it used to be. I certainly don't want to support its owner. I don't think you will miss me much, as I didn't post very often anyway. So, now you know.

[Archbishop of Canterbury @ArchbishopSarah]

Lord we lift before you all those who mourn today. For those held captive, for those without shelter and safety, for those enduring violence, mourning and despair – Lord have mercy.

We pray for our Jewish neighbours, and our Muslim neighbours, in the Holy Land, in the UK and around the world. We pray too for our Christian sisters and brothers in the Holy Land and Lebanon, asking God to strengthen and protect them. In the shadow of war, Lord bring your comfort, healing and light to all who dwell in darkness.

“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.” (Numbers 6:24-26)

'To acquire the habit of reading is to construct for yourself a refuge from almost all the miseries of life.'

- W. Somerset Maugham, Books and You

[ChristenUnie @christenunie]

Maar de vrucht van de Geest is liefde, vreugde en vrede, geduld, vriendelijkheid en goedheid, geloof, zachtmoedigheid en zelfbeheersing. Er is geen wet die daar iets tegen heeft.
- Galaten 5:22-23

This seems to be the case in the Netherlands as well #zomerweer #summerweather

[VeryBritishProblems @SoVeryBritish]

British seasons:

Winter: October to mid-April
Spring: Mid-April to mid-June
Summer: Mid-June to end of June
Autumn: July to October (with a summer reprise for 3 days in August)

Winter is also free to make cameo appearances in spring, summer and autumn, whenever it fancies, and it will.

Interessant artikel over taaltransfer - wat gebeurt er met je moedertaal als je lang in het buitenland woont? Ik weet er alles van want ik ben drietalig. #languages #LanguageLovers #nederlandsetaal #moedertaal #multilingual

Great to hear @martyn_joseph in Leiden a few days ago. He brings not only good music but also hope in difficult times.
Amusing to see that his audience is getting old with him...

@vanloonpatrick @albertheijn Ja, ik heb dit probleem ook. Stond bij de kassa en kon de bonuskaart gebruiken. Ik heb een artikel terug gezet en eentje zonder korting gekocht. Vervelend. Hoop dat het snel opgelost is.

Interesting how Microsoft Word has influenced the way we write and the words and spelling we use #amediting #amwriting #englishlanguage
