with regard to the blog posted earlier today, please refer to the date on which it was posted. If I get ordained at all (after all this irreverent frivolity) I will of course be wearing a standard black cassock, a white surplice, black shoes and a red stole. To any for whom this a disappointment, apologies!
The ‘Ordination Make Over’
Hot news: I've just been told I am allowed to choose my own ordination outfit!!! Not for nothing have I been called the 'Gok Wan' of the Anglican Church. At last the chance for a real make-over! Here is the traditional ordination outfit: a black full length cassock, and a white surplice. Stand a lot... Continue Reading →
Warning: I have character defects…
'Warning: I have character defects and I'm not afraid to use them' This was the slogan on the fridge magnet I bought for my husband this week. It was part of a peace-offering because we had had a long distance 'disagreement' ( that would be a row then). I think the bottle of red wine went further... Continue Reading →
Digital Native
I have just spent 20 minutes with a digital native. I have also learnt this week that I am NOT a digital native, I am a digital immigrant. And the chances are YOU are a digital immigrant too (otherwise you would not be reading this blog) although of course you could be a native. It's amazing what can... Continue Reading →
Engage brain… before inserting eyes!
So I haven't being seeing very well for the last month... Why is this? I wondered? Old age? Eye strain brought on by too much blogging? Nah, none of the above. I've been wearing my contact lenses in the wrong eyes... again! D'oh! I've made this mistake once before but on that occasion it only took... Continue Reading →
Finding God… but to a deadline
I really enjoyed yesterday's story about the Large Hadron Collider. Apparently after investing 'Mega-Enormous-Huge' amounts of money trying to find the 'God Particle' (Higgs bosun) scientists have announced that if they if haven't found it by the end of next year, it doesn't exist! To my untrained, unscientific ears this sounded very odd. What if... Continue Reading →
No Teeth Marks at Mrs Tiggywinkles
We have just stayed for a little under a week on the Isle of Wight in a bijou little cottage called Mrs Tiggywinkles. It was a size of a two storey double garage but that's where any similarity with a garage ended. It was really, really cute! Small but perfectly formed: porch for wellies, log-burning stove,...

Looking at God through a Keyhole
I told you a few weeks ago I was having trouble with Luke 13:24 where Jesus says 'Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to'. This difficult statement is Jesus' reply to the entirely reasonable question 'Are only a... Continue Reading →
One Letter Away from Divinity
A friend dropped me a quick email to ask me how I was.... 'I'm good' I replied. At least that's what I thought I replied. A typing slip up, possibly freudian, meant that what what I actually replied was: 'I'm god'. Oh dear. I appear to be 'one 'o' short of humility'. (Is this akin to being 'several... Continue Reading →
The Unseen Umbilical Cord
Yesterday I was out for most of the day. I had made arrangements for the dog and checked the train times in advance. Cycling to the station I had a vague feeling I had forgotten something. On arrival my suspicion was confirmed: I had left my mobile phone at home. This really shouldn't have mattered. I... Continue Reading →
