  • Uncertainty principles

    We are hosting a barbecue tonight. In order to give our potential guests enough warning that they were able to come we had made the invitation at the weekend. The problem is that we live in Britain and it’s summer. There’s no guarantee that the weather will be suitable for barbecues at any given time.…

  • redecorating

    A stand up comic was talking about decorating his house (I can’t remember which one – comic, not house). He said that as a practical joke he was considering splashing some blood red paint on the wall and writing something sinister alongside, before wallpapering over it. The idea was that this would spook the next…

  • change is inevitable except from a vending machine

    I can understand why a lot of people in this country are getting exercised about what is happening to their pensions. It must be exasperating if you have been putting money away over a period of years with the expectation that you will get a certain return on them at the end of your working…

  • little things…

    Isn’t it amazing how something simple can make a big difference? I have had to admit that I need to use reading glasses when I read with my contact lenses in. This is only for when I am reading from books or newspapers, but the ‘off the peg’ reading glasses I bought from a well-known…

  • cuplets

    I am sitting in the Ministers’* Office at our church. In the corner is a little pile of cuplets (officially known as ‘castor cups’) – the little cups you put under the feet of chairs in order to stop them sinking into the carpet and leaving marks. They sit there as a reminder that a…

  • “my, how you’ve changed…”

    We have to renew our driving licence photos. I did not realise that this was what happens but after 20 years they want a new picture of Sally* and myself for our driving licences. I guess this is because they imagine that people change after 20 years. It can’t simply be a sneaky way of…

  • going, going…

    Happy New Week! Work has begun today on removing the pulpit from our church and reconstructing the platform so it is solid and we won’t fall through it. This is part of a project that we believe will make it easier for people to see what is going on at the front of the church,…

  • it’s a game of two halves at the end of the day

    Sorry, I can’t resist. Football is a funny old game. On Sunday my favourite team, Ipswich Town, were thrashed 7-0 by Chelsea in the FA Cup. It was so bad that if it had been a boxing match it would have been stopped a long way before the final whistle. Last night Ipswich played Arsenal…

      look hard and you may understand why I chose this picture Hmmm Been reflecting a bit more on the theme of yesterday’s blog post. I know that there are times when I can present a hard edge or sharp corners when I am busy doing something and someone asks me something else. I instantly regret…
