I’ve just received a new laptop. I’ve been looking longingly at new computers for a while now – ever since Phil got her new laptop. My computer is getting a bit old now and suffering a little from the problems that seem to come with age. So I decided that I needed a new computer,…

As I posted up on my Twitter account recently, we’ve been having a few internet problems. Basically I noticed that our Eclipse broadband account was a bit out of date. They’ve restructured their pricing but we were still on the old price, so we were actually paying over the odds for our broadband! Anyway, I…

It was half-term last week, so we had no 21 to go to! Phil was wedding dress shopping with her sister though, so I was left on my own. Fortunately, Alison had a birthday meal on Friday night so I was able to go to that 🙂 It was a really nice evening – we…

My latest article on Crossring is up. It’s based on Mark 6:14-29 (the death of John the Baptist). You can read it here 🙂

…the cats will play. Or, did I get that the wrong way round? Anyway! Phil was away this weekend, so it was just me for the most part. On Friday evening we went to Rollerworld for the 21 social, which was good fun! I didn’t skate, but I did play Quasar. On Saturday, my parents…

Well, this week was a bit more busy, but in a really nice way. On Friday evening we had 21, and then afterwards Alex came round to stay for a couple of nights (he had a party near Ipswich to go to). Anyway, on Saturday morning we did a bit of shopping and general sorting…

Over the past few years we’ve been using an Ikea mattress. However, the past few months it’s been getting more and more saggy. We decided to buy a new mattress, and so in September (when we were on holiday) we popped into Benson’s in Colchester. We bought a new Relyon mattress – expensive, but hopefully…

A few weeks ago, Muse released their new album “The Resistance”. I have avoided commenting on it thus far because I wanted to give it a proper listen. I find the problem with albums is that my opinion can change over the course of time, so I want to try and give it as long…
