Okay, so that's a slight exaggeration, but it is also a favourite line from a hymn and it perfectly expresses my excitement about advances in my optical world. Yesterday's visit to the opticians confirmed what I expected: I have been living in an increasingly fuzzy world. I can just about see everything in focus so... Continue Reading →
What is a Watt Bike? And why would you want to go on one? Matt from The One Show is cycling from Edinburgh to London on a rickshaw for Children in Need and this evening he was shown training on a Watt Bike! I'm not going to or from either of those places and definitely... Continue Reading →
I am a 'woman of od'. Mainly this is because my mobile phone will currently not allow me to tap in the letter 'g'. If it doesn't sort out this (g)litch soon, I will have to (g)et a new one. So here, while I am a 'woman of Od' are some of the slightly more... Continue Reading →
Well it looked like a nice day from my bedroom window. Even better it is my day off, I feel a bike ride coming on... better just check the forecast. "Stock markets are crashing, sub atomic particles are moving faster than the speed of light and Nasa predicts space debris falling from the sky" Great!... Continue Reading →
We have just had a holiday in Porec, in Croatia and liked it very much. Porec is pronounced 'porridge', which gave my husband the dubious pleasure of declaring every time we arrived by boat 'we are slowly turning into porridge'. We arrived by boat quite a lot because our hotel was on an island. The... Continue Reading →
and it was a blinking long way, I'm not doing that again for while! I don't mean I swam until I had a revelation (and jumped out the pool shrieking 'Eureka') I mean I swam to Revelation...from Genesis. From the first book of the Bible to the final one - 66 lengths. Any further and I'd have... Continue Reading →
Yesterday I learnt to Hula Hoop! What brilliant fun! Four hours of a hula hoop masterclass led by John 'Mr Hoop Guy' ( http://www.hoopguy.com ) who guarantees to be able to teach anyone to hula hoop. It was ALOT of fun and, yes the class was 4 hours long but we stopped every half hour... Continue Reading →
Outrageous! What is this country coming to? Here is a pot of blueberry mousse. A mousse is a dessert usually based on whipped cream, fruit and gelatin. This one appears to have some very alternative ingredients: The words on the pot clearly state 'Blueberry Mouse'. Really? Would that be complete with droppings? I feel a... Continue Reading →
My daily treat is a really nice cup of coffee. No added sugar, just one sweetener: so not too 'sinful' in the calorie stakes. The thing is that it's hard to have a coffee without 'a little something' to go with it. Coffee and croissant? Coffee and cake? Coffee and biscuits for dunking? or Coffee... Continue Reading →
Last night Jonathan Oloyede, a Nigerian pastor passionate about prayer asked every one in the Meeting Place (at New Wine, Newark) to take out our phones and set an alarm to 12 noon to act as a daily reminder to pray. About half the audience complied, some didn't and the rest were heard to say... Continue Reading →
