Moving On

I'm a rubbish blogger! Lots has gone on that I'm not comfortable blogging about in the last couple of months and as such I've not really blogged at all. Stuff is still going on, and I need to sort my head out around something and I think it might be ...

Words

My Dad is a lay reader in Godmanchester, and I very rarely now get to hear him preach (I am a very lazy Christian and Sunday Mornings rarely see me in Church, even when I make it to Huntingdon). He posted his most recent evensong sermon on his blog ...

Think before you speak

I wonder sometimes if people just don't think before they open their mouths to say something. My thought is its better to think that than that they are being malicious and deliberately want ot cause other people upset. This thought has come from a range of conversations and observations, and ...

you won't like me when I'm angry...

Actually, to be honest, i don't really "do" anger. I've never really got the hang of it, I don't shout, often. I don't think of myself as having a temper. For me, anger often manifests itself as tears. I think anger is a really scary emotion, and I think (not ...

Trying to post more often

I've been trying to get into the habit of posting more often, without posting boring stuff and making you all fall asleep! DC once told us at work that if a blog can't be updated at least twice a week then its a bit pointless. But I don't know that ...

These are a few of my favourite things

I discovered a very interesting concept - proper coffee, in a bag! A coffee bag if you will. They are perfect for work - I get a better cup of coffee without shelling out for starbucks, its not quite the same as my lovely skinny latte, but hey, its not ...
