I only write occasionally here now, as you will see. However, there is an archive of over 2,000 posts which I’ve made over the last 20+ years, which are all still accessible.

The past couple of days
I really don’t have much to say here. I haven’t done all that much… Yesterday, I went into town to meet up with Tom and a couple of other people. We went to the Cricketers to have lunch. It’s a Wetherspoon’s pub (like the Playhouse in Colchester). I quite liked it – nice and cheap…

Happy New Year!
Happy new year everybody! I hope that you had a good one. Mine wasn’t too bad. I spent the evening at home! Anyway. What have I been doing, I hear you say? (You must be speaking very loudly, unless you’re relatively close to me…) *ahem*. Anyway. Yesterday, I did pretty much the same that I…

What’s up, my brother?
Hmmm. Anyway, yes. Yesterday, I went to church in the morning. I came home, and had lunch. Then I … uh… did something. Prepared the Fusion program for next term for our group. Went out again to church. Came back home. Had tea. Did something. Went to bed. Today… I woke up, had breakfast. (I’m…

Today
Didn’t do loads… Vivienne and the children came round. They were … well, better than they had been, but still not exactly perfect. Still, I went out for the afternoon into town! I bought some new clothes – a new suit (cost me about £70; it was apparently worth well over £150…), new jumper and…

Christmas!
Just a quick update tonight, I think. Right. Yesterday. Church in the morning. Julie and Mark and the children came up for lunch, and stayed the night. We played some games, unwrapped presents, watched “Only Fools and Horses” Christmas Special… nothing to speak of really! Today Julie, Mark and the kids went home, Maureen’s going…

Christmas Eve
I really can’t believe it’s Christmas eve. It really doesn’t feel all that festive. Could be because of the busyness of the past few days! And, of course, it’s been a while since I’ve got particularly excited about Christmas. Plus the frenzied consumerism really puts me off. Anyway. I haven’t been up to much today……

It’s been a busy few days!
Sorry I haven’t updated at all over the past few days. I’ve been rather busy, as I’m sure you will appreciate! I did try and update once over the weekend but unfortunately Blogger was down at the time. Nevermind. Right, what have I been up to since I last posted, almost a week ago? Right.…

Hmmm
I forgot to mention, the other night I read through “A Grief Observed” by CS Lewis. At least, I think I forgot to mention it. I might not have… anyway, I’ll say it again. It was pretty good actually! Although it was about a bad experience (losing his wife), it does actually end on a…

Nothing much to say
Just a quick update… I haven’t done much the past couple of days. Yesterday I went into town to pick up my photos, so hopefully they’ll be available online sometime soon. We had a wine-tasting type evening as well. Me, Ian, Jon B, Kev B, Alex and Phil P were there. It was good fun……

The Weekend
As I said in my last post, I went round to Philippa’s place last night and spent most of the evening there. We watched Baz Luhrman’s version of “Romeo and Juliet”. I have never been a big fan of Shakespeare, but Phil said that I ought to watch R+J before I made a judgement. Or…
