• Magic Roundabout!!!

  2008-10-20

  Sorry. I can’t help it. This is simply a gratuitous link to a piece of 1972 news footage that I’ve discovered about my beloved Magic Roundabout. Great stuff!

• Discipleship Academy and SoulSpace

  2008-10-19

  I’ve had an inspiring evening with these two little events. They won’t mean much to some so I’ll try and explain. “Discipleship” is lots of things. For me it’s the process of being a disciple of Jesus Christ, learning his ways, following in his footsteps, trying to lead a godly life. What’s a godly life […]

• New Game….New Dangers

  2008-10-16

  I need to write about this incredibly important subject to warn you of the dangers of a sport that I’ve recently taken up. This sport requires: excellent balance; pin point precision; dedication and repeated practice of repetitive actions; a good head for numbers. Yes, I’m not kidding. I’ve taken up darts!!! We have a cultural […]

• Playing with Symfony

  2008-10-15

  OK, here’s where I kinda “come out” as a true geek. Most of this will probably mean nothing to any of you and for that I make absolutely no apology whatsoever. This whole post is a bit of a brag, but it’s writing up what’s been an intriguing afternoon/evening for me too. I have a […]

• 2 Films: The Notebook & An Inconvenient Truth

  2008-10-13

  Two films watched this week – most unlike us. The Notebook Recorded while we were on holiday, this charming love story didn’t really impress me. It was a simple couple-meet, couple-torn-apart, couple-get-back together story, wrapped up as an old man reading the story to his wife who’s suffering from dementia and amnesia. Touching and cute, […]

• Clapped Out

  2008-10-12

  I’m a cyclist – you can probably tell that – and I love all sports of different kinds. But there’s one that I’ve never got on with…running! It knackers my kness and every time I try to take it up I have to give up quite quickly because I’m in pain. So instead, I tend […]

• A week in Sicily – Pantalica and Home

  2008-10-11

  Part…umm…well…the last part! I’m probably on about part 74 of my holiday write up now.  You’ll be glad to hear that it’s (probably) the last one. After climbing Etna on the Friday, Saturday was supposed to be a bit of a day off.  But the thought of just doing nothing somehow didn’t appeal.  We had […]

• A Week in Sicily: Mount Etna

  2008-10-10

  We awoke on Friday feeling refreshed and healthy, had an big, early breakfast, and headed up the coast to Mt Etna. Actually there was some packing in there too…we had lots of decisions to make about packing our day sacks and what to wear. In the end I think we both ended up with full-on […]
