  • Naturewatch: Web Building!

    Possibly not for the arachnophobic. Some action shots of the fat spider building a web. The sun was shining down and making the web glisten so I thought I’d try and catch it on, err, well not film exactly, but you know what I mean. The reason I’m a bit fanatical about spiders is that…well…they’re […]

  • Book: Prayer by Phillip Yancey

    This book was recommended as a good read on prayer but didn’t live up to expectations. Before I wrote these notes on it I did some searching and it’s hard to find a bad review of the book. And I have to say that, despite the slow start to it, the book did grow on […]

  • Update on house buying

    A while ago I mentioned that we’d had an offer accepted on a house! A quick update is due. The process has been moving along quite well. We stalled a bit while we chose a mortgage but that’s applied for, the legal stuff has all moved along as it should, the survey is now done, […]

  • Getting used to being ill

    I don’t remember being ill much as a kid, teenager, or even in my early working years. But that all seems to have changed lately. The last two weeks, since getting back from Greenbelt, have been one physical problem after another. Starting with what appeared to be food poisoning or a stomach bug of some […]

  • Naturewatch: Fat spider

    I like spiders! Which is just as well as there’s about a million in our garden. Probably mostly the grown up babies that I spotted back in the spring. I just liked this one because it used to be quite a skinny spider but she (we think it’s a she) has put her web in […]

  • Book: The Eyre Affair – Jasper Fforde

    I’ve been off sick the last few days, sleeping, resting, and taking my mind off my churning stomach by both reading and writing. One result of which is that, after about 6 months of on-and-off reading, I’ve finally finished a book! The Eyre Affair is a cleverly comic, extremely eccentric romp through time space and […]

  • Charity and Justice

    I’d like to post a link to this article about Charity and Justice. Relevant Magazine doesn’t always hit the mark (more below) but this article explains an important difference between what the author calls “charity” (giving to help people in need) and “justice” (trying to fix the things that make charity needed). It’s worth reading, […]

  • Greenbelt: Thoughts and Discoveries

    Last weekend was my first outing to the festival known as “Greenbelt”. In fact, it was my first real festival outing anywhere. Greenbelt is a music and arts festival. But it needs a little bit more categorisation than that. I shall explain. A note on sub-cultures Now, I’m always careful about talking about “Christian” stuff […]
