In a word: BRILLIANT! In more than one word: 205 miles from Greenwich to the Eiffel Tower, wonderful countryside, quiet low traffic route, fabulous weather, good company. If you are not a keen cyclist, that's probably all you'll want to read of this post! But for the sake of anyone out there in the internet... Continue Reading →
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...

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 →
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 →
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!
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 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 →
My mission, now I've chosen to accept it is to write 2,000 intelligent words on two passages from Romans. Here's my advice on how to write an essay: First, make yourself comfortable food: essay writing adds a whole new meaning to the phrase 'living hand to mouth' . Personally I find a large bag of popcorn is the ideal,... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
