  • waiting awkwardly

    After a brief Christmas hiatus the bloggerel is flowing once again. I hope you had a relaxing and enjoyable Christmas and that if you have braved the sales you have survived relatively unscathed. On Saturday I had the joy of accompanying my wife Sally and our teenage daughter to some clothing stores in Milton Keynes.…

    This year we have decided to produce our own Christmas card. We are not designing it from scratch, I’m using one of Dave Walker’s wonderful cartoons for the cover. If you go and have a look now you can probably see this image that we will be using. (spoiler alert) One of the things I…

  • appreciating assets

    It’s nearly here. I am getting quite excited, and it’s not even the day yet. I have to admit I have been doing one or two sneaky things to prepare for the big event. I have been doing a little bit of shopping to make sure that I have everything I need. I have been writing a…

  • the parable of the PC

    There are all sorts of variables when it comes to choosing computers. Yes, for apple-ites I am talking about PCs. You have to consider the processing chip speed, how many cores in the processor, the amount of RAM, whether it is 32 or 64 bit, graphics cards, screen resolution, and so on. All of those…

  • what next after cafe church?

    This Sunday I am going to be taking part in Cafechurch at Costa Coffee in Bluewater shopping centre. I am not telling you this by way of an advert or because of any particular sense of pride at having been asked to take part. I am mentioning it because it is an example of how…
