almost done
Following last week’s Work In Progress bloggage I have a progress update. The renovation of my little car is almost done. What do you think? It has gone from this To this It may look finished but there is an important detail that has yet to be done. When I was disassembling the car prior…

being pointed
Do you ever get those moments when you are aware that you are not in complete control of your life? I am not talking about those times when you feel that your life is out of control. Rather I mean those moments when you realise that God has been at work behind the scenes gently…

In case you don’t know, Borrowers are tiny little people who live an almost parasitic life in our houses, ‘borrowing’ items that they find and adapting them for their own life. Several films and TV series have been made…

cynicism
Is it just me, or are scams getting more elaborate? Are criminal minds getting more intelligent? Look at how many super-villains have PhD qualifications: Dr Evil, Dr No, Dr Octopus, Dr Doofenshmirtz and even Professor Moriarty! Where are they getting these qualifications? Yesterday I heard of an elaborate scam where someone contacts the victim and…
