Grandma’s lamp
I have a desk lamp that belonged to one of my Grandmas. I have had it for a while and when I came to Colchester I thought it would be useful at the church. I put it on my desk in the ministers’ office at the church when I was setting up there, and it…

it starts with desire
None of us is perfect. Nobody, no matter how great they are or what they have achieved, is the finished article. I am being inspired at the moment by reading about Group Captain Lord Cheshire of Woodhall, VC, OM, DSO, DFC. By any measure he was an astonishing man as all of his titles and…

one degree shifts
Little things can make a big difference. A freshly made cup of coffee has refreshed me just now, ready to write this bloggage. A kiss goodbye with Sally (Mrs Nukelearfishing) before she went out shopping was a reminder of our love. Words of gratitude and encouragement can bless someone after they have worked hard. A…

cause and affect*
Why is it that software developers keep changing the software? We get used to the way a program or app or website works and then, before we know it, an upgrade has happened and things are different. New settings need setting. Old settings need resetting. Changed default settings need grrring at. But it’s a very…

work in progress
When I was a little boy I was given lots of toy cars. I loved toy cars. I would lie on my side with a car in my hand, get my face right down low so my eyes were really at ground level, and then spend ages pushing the car around so I could see…

sailing fast
Have you seen any video footage of the America’s Cup yacht racing that is taking place at the moment? It’s astonishing! Have a look at the video footage and photos on the America’s Cup website and you’ll see what I mean. There are two 72ft long catamarans with wing sails the size of a Jumbo Jet’s…

updates
Yesterday my computer decided to go slow. It was running well below optimal and I could not work out why. I was not running lots of programs, I was not asking it to do anything particularly difficult. I was stumped. Until I saw a little icon in the system tray (that’s the bit in the…

Bearing up
Don’t try to analyse what’s going on in my head – that’s dangerous territory – but this morning I was reminiscing about the teddy bear I had as a child. His name was ‘Teddy’ (I was as original then as I am now). He was given to me when I was born and I had…

cliché time once again
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: change is inevitable… except from a vending machine. I know that’s not very original, but it still makes me chuckle. None of us like change, but it is a fact of life: we are all getting older and that brings about change (male pattern baldness for…
