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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

They should have just tried being me for five minutes 🙁 Ok, so that’s a huge exaggeration. But I’ve not had a good time of it recently with the car, i.e. getting it repaired. The story so far: in late February, someone reversed into the side of my car while it was parked. This buckled…

So this has been a “meme” that’s been going round on Facebook like a virus. The idea is that you write 25 random things about yourself, post it as a note, and ‘tag’ a bunch of other people who then go and write a 25 random things note. They then tag people, and so it…

Just a note that I have added the excellent Yet Another Related Posts Plugin to this blog. This means that on each page, if there are any related posts you should get a nice list of links underneath. (In addition to the “On This Day” info). If you find this really annoying, please let me…
