That is POSITIVELY, ABSOLUTELY, the LAST time I EVER make a promise to be publicly cheerful about being ill! I have had to maintain virtual 'radio silence' in order to avoid the indulgence of online moaning. It is now day 15 since I mentioned in a blog post that I had caught a sore throat from...

Hope against Darkness
In a week when I have felt incredibly weak and wobbly, this poem just expresses perfectly my gratitude to him who 'though he was rich, for my sake, became poor'. It's so good and so appropriate for Maundy Thursday, I won't say anymore - thanks Jules for passing it along. I thank you for becoming... Continue Reading →
Who is pressing your buttons?
Has anyone else noticed the oddities occasionally offered by the predictive texting on your mobile? Type in 'go' and you get 'in', 'he' and you get 'if', 'got' and you get 'hot'. Bizarrely, predictive texting will often NOT let me spell very straightforward words but allows me to type in nonsensical words like 'donkle', 'phen', or 'graf'. I was... Continue Reading →
Only kidding…..
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,...
