This bank holiday was rather pleasant! We did have a bit of rain on Monday, but apart from that the weather was beautiful. Anyway, what did we get up to? Well. On Friday we helped out at 21. I did the talk, which seemed to go pretty well (although it’s quite difficult to gauge these…

This weekend was Andy C and Rica’s wedding in Trier, Germany. On Friday night, we came back pretty soon after helping out at 21 so that we could get to bed – we had a 3AM start on Saturday! We got the bus to Stansted, and then flew out to Frankfurt Hahn airport. From there…

Last night we met up with Anne-Marie, Sarah, Matthew and Laura to go and see “Star Trek” – the ‘reboot’ of the franchise directed by J.J. Abrams. It was fantastic! Exactly what a Star Trek film should be like – it didn’t take itself too seriously but there were dramatic moments, it had plenty of…

This weekend was pretty busy, but actually rather nice. On Friday night we helped out at 21. I was doing the talk (which was on “Reading the Bible”). It seemed to go pretty well, so that’s all good. On Saturday we went to see “We Will Rock You” at the Dominion Theatre in London. My…

I mentioned a while back that I was on the lookout for a new iPod. I was specifically thinking about an iPod Touch, but on reflection I don’t think I would use it much. What I wanted instead was an iPod with plenty of space to store all my music, and maybe even some space…

This weekend was a good one, not just because it was slightly longer than usual! On Friday night we went to 21 to help out as per usual. Then on Saturday morning, we headed out to Flatford to meet up with Alex, Elisa, Dan and Alison. We had a picnic in a nearby field, and…

A few days ago I downloaded and installed Spotify (it runs really well in Linux under Wine). I’ve only been using it for a few days and already I love it. If you haven’t heard about it, the basic concept is that it’s a bit of software which you install, and then you can login…

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…

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…

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…
