The Speaker
Over the past couple of weeks, Phil and I have been watching “The Speaker“. (Note: if you haven’t yet seen the last episode, you may wish to skip over this post because spoilers are contained within). We’ve really enjoyed it – I think it’s made quite compelling watching, seeing a bunch of young people develop

We are the music makers
Just found this quote in the cover of “Morning Sci-Fi” by Hybrid and I rather like it! We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of the dream. Wandering by lone sea breakers, and sitting by desolate streams. World losers and world forsakers, for whom the pale moon gleams. Yet we are the

Sunday@6, Mainly
This weekend has been pretty busy – mainly with Sunday@6 preparation! On Friday night we went out to Fordham for a band practice. It all went pretty well except for my guitar amp deciding that it didn’t want to work. DOH! It was working fine on Thursday night. Fortunately I was able to plug in

I need a holiday!
Well, we had a fairly busy week last week. The bathroom has now been painted, so that’s all done. The main thing that’s left to do is get the flooring in, which we will hopefully be able to do soon. But anyway, I digress: I should talk about the weekend! On Friday night we stayed

The BNP and Jesus
I was meaning to blog about this a few weeks ago but I happened across this article on the BBC news website today and it reminded me. The BNP are using Jesus’ words in a poster campaign to try and garner support from the Christian community. The exact quote they are using is, “If they

Easter Summary
Well, Easter is well and gone but for posterity I thought I would post a quick precis of what happened: Saturday – didn’t actually do much Sunday – Easter service in the morning. Had big dinner afterwards, necessarily followed by long walk. Watched “The Number One Ladies’ Detective Agency”. Determined to read the original books

iPods and principles…
I’m getting itchy for a new iPod. I already have an iPod, however it is broken. And it’s been broken for a while now – but I think this is partially my fault: I have a feeling I messed up when I installed Rockbox. What I will probably do is sell it on eBay as

Good Friday
We went to a Good Friday service today. I found it quite helpful actually – we had some readings from Mark’s Gospel, as well as a couple of pieces from J.S. Bach’s St Matthew’s Passion, and some prayers by Frank Colquhoun (I don’t know who he is, but they were good!) I thought that in

Hire Cars, Part II
I mentioned before that the hire car company rang me up on Thursday, asking for the hire car back. It turns out that the hire car (arranged through my insurance) was cancelled – but I was still able to pick it up for some bizarre reason! (They didn’t tell me or, apparently, the hire car

Mark Watson, Exams and Pubs
This weekend has been slightly extended because we had Friday off to revise for our Moore Course exam. Although we were revising all day, we did go out in the evening to see Mark Watson, who we knew from Radio 4 (his radio show “Mark Watson Makes the World Substantially Better” was one of my
