  • skoda jokes?

    I drive a Skoda. There, I have admitted it in public. Years ago Skodas were the butt of many jokes but nowadays they are very well made, reliable cars that frequently top customer satisfaction surveys. What do you mean you’ve never heard any Skoda jokes? A man walked into a garage and asked if they…

  • I can see clearly now…

    If you don’t wear glasses you may not fully empathise with this bloggage, but give it a go anyway (you could try spraying cleaning spray on a mirror and having a look at it before you clean it to get the similar effect). Glasses-wearers among you will know that during the day glasses accumulate gunk, dust,…

  • at four ment

    (If you are fresh to this blog you may be somewhat confused by the title of this bloggage: if so I suggest you look at the preceding three entries and you should get the idea!) [To get the best out of this bloggage you may need to have some music in the background such as The…

  • decluttering

    Hopefully in the next couple of months we will be moving house. In anticipation of that we are starting the process of clearing out the clutter that we have accumulated in 7 years of living here (plus some that we have brought with us from previous houses!). It’s amazing how much stuff just gathers dust…

  • of smoking, stinking, shaking and spiders

    We had a bit of a mishap yesterday. (By way of an aside, doesn’t mishap look like it is spelt wrongly? It looks like mi-shap not mis-hap. But I digress. Come to think of it, digress looks more like dig-ress than di-gress…) Anyhoo, back to the mishap (still looks like it’s spelt incorrectly). A saucepan…

  • take a tablet

    Christians sometimes pay more attention to the Ten Commandments than the Sermon on the Mount. On the basis that we pay most attention to what is written on tablets of stone Jesus has sent another stone tablet… Be blessed, be a blessing  

  • late mistake

    I seem to have got bigger. No, I’m not talking about my weight or waist size thank you very much (cheek!). In the last few days I have started my new role as a Regional Minister and my area of responsibility has expanded somewhat – seeking to support and encourage 60 churches across most of…

  • when time travel would have been useful

    Yesterday you were subjected to two bloggages in one day. I apologise. Nobody should have to suffer that! I had been reflecting and writing the second one (about theology from a joke) and had intended to schedule it for delivery today. I thought I had successfully set that up and hit ‘publish’ only for the…

  • slip, slap, splosh

    Today’s bloggage is going to be like Zacchaeus – quite short. Occasionally this week I have been watching the Commonwealth Games. Two thoughts occurred to me as I was watching a poor Australian springboard diver who slipped on the board as he was in mid-spring and ended up landing on his back. As I resisted…

  • in a spin

    I have been preparing for Sunday evening and looking at Acts chapter 23. This is what happened previously, as described in Acts chapter 22: Paul had been attacked by a mob in Jerusalem and rescued in the nick of time by some Roman soldiers, who had to carry him into the barracks because of the hostile…
