This weekend was quite… “weddingy”. I know that’s not a word, but I just made it up. So there. On Friday night we didn’t have much in the way of weddings to do – Phil was out helping at the Fordham youth group 21, and I … well, I stayed in and didn’t do much!…

The traffic around Colchester during rush hour is getting ridiculous. Take this morning, for example. Time it would take to drive to work without any traffic: 25 minutes Time it took this morning: 1 hour (I set off at 7:45 and got in at 8:45). I just find it really frustrating sitting in traffic, not…

I’ve decided that the time has come for me to stop pretending that I’m any good at web design, and actually bite the bullet and use somebody else’s design skills for once. Fortunately for me, using WordPress there are literally hundreds of available templates you can use for free. I’ve chosen one which I like,…

Well, I suppose it’s time to post up a quick review of what happened last week! Philippa’s parents came up to help us do some decorating – we wanted to do the whole of the spare room in one week. The spare room had previously been rather a bright shade of pink, so we wanted…

Covers of songs, that is to say. In my guitar learning, I’ve been looking out some old songs to play, and I came across Joe’s “committee song” (to the tune of “Can’t take my eyes off of you” by Andy Williams)… it certainly brought back a few memories (“At last Linja’s arrived / at just…

I’ve written a new article on FocusOnFaith entitled “The Ten Commandments, Part II: Idolatry“. If you enjoyed the previous article in the series, why not pop over and have a read? Let me know what you think by leaving a comment or starting a new thread in the forum (hint hint).

As I may have already mentioned, this week we are off work to do some decorating. Phil’s parents are up and are helping us out. We’ve been quite productive so far! The main goal of this week is to repaint the violently pink room (otherwise known as the spare room). We bought some paint at…

The second series of Torchwood finished with a bang (literally) on Friday night. It was pretty standard Torchwood fair – i.e. nothing was explained particularly well – but they did at least do the exit of Tosh and Owen pretty well. I thought Naoko Mori’s performance was fantastic, and Burn Gorman did pretty well too.…

I don’t know why, but the past couple of days we’ve had a couple of people leave messages on the phone for people we’ve never heard of. I don’t know whether our number is similar to another one, or whether it’s just a coincidence. We don’t get many of them. I’m never quite sure whether…

… our exam, that is. On Saturday morning we had our Moore Course exam on “Old Testament 1”. And it’s all over! High fives all round, I think. It seemed to go quite well – I was expecting the exam to be awful, but in the end it turned out to be moderately OK. I…
