… Crossring‘s coming back! A few years ago I was involved with a site called Crossring, started up by a friend of mine called Simon. It was undoubtedly one of the best Christian websites around for young-ish people (I think it started off being aimed towards students, but we reached a lot of different people).…

Well, I didn’t just have one day for a birthday this time round – I had a weekend! Well, sort of. On Saturday afternoon, a whole bunch of people came round for a BBQ. This included, but was not limited to (just in case I forget anybody, which I hope I don’t!), Anne-Marie, Sarah, Kev…

… weddings! That’s right. On Saturday we headed over to Peterhouse College, Cambridge for the wedding of Mark and Phillippa (Mark is a former member of Fordham and our home group). The wedding was in the chapel at the college, and was led by Andy Saville. It was a lovely service – the details had…

As nothing much happened this weekend, I thought now would be a good time to talk about Lilypond. Lilypond, as in, the computer program for typesetting / engraving sheet music. The reason I’ve been using it is because Chris, the co-leader of the Sunday@6 band, has written a few songs. Unfortunately he doesn’t read music,…

Yesterday evening I was listening to music on Spotify. If you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months, basically it’s a program which lets you listen to any one of its huge archive of songs – for free. The thing is, you don’t download any of the songs to your computer: it’s…

Thanks to the summer holidays, not much is going on at the moment! It’s been rather nice having the free evenings. We’ve been so busy for so long, it’s fantastic just to be able to get home in an evening and not have to go out to home group, Moore Course, youth club, music practice,…

This is a rant which has been coming for a while now. The catalyst was this story on The Register. It’s all to do with feminism and glamour modelling. Personally I feel that suffragettes who chained themselves to railings to secure a vote for women would be appalled if they found out that you can…

On Friday night we headed round to Karen and Steve’s for their leaving party. They are leaving Colchester in a couple of weeks, sadly, so we went round there for a BBQ. It was a good evening – good company, good food, and it didn’t rain! Nice to see Foz again too, as it’s been…

Just realised I forgot to update with what happened at the weekend! Doh! Well, a quick update: on Friday night, we had the last 21 of this term. In a way it was quite sad to say goodbye to some of the kids (they’re going up to the next youth group which we’re not involved…

I’m currently watching Torchwood “Children of Earth” day four. It’s very interesting… but note that spoilers are contained within. So if you haven’t seen it yet, now would be a good time to stop reading 😉 The story so far: the 456 (or four-five-six, the aliens) have demanded 10% of the world’s children. It seems…
