langwidge is confewzing
This morning I took another assembly at a local primary school. While I was waiting in the hall for the children to arrive I looked at their work that was displayed on the wall. One section was clearly the fruit (pun intended) of a project to get them to consider a balanced diet. The children…

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…

Biblical puns
“Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.” This quip is attributed to businessman Robert C.Gallagher. It is clever because of the play on the word ‘change’ and because most of us have been frustrated by vending machines. If you have explored my blog you will know that I love wordplay. Last night I had…

nosing around
I have recently experienced another sign that I am getting older. My eyes are getting worse. Just before Christmas I had them checked (fed up with plain blue/grey).

I think I may have mentioned before that I used to love the start of the new term at school. It was the newness of everything that I loved, particularly at the start of a new school year but also at the start of the term. I used to love having new pens and other…

the late wise men
We have now entered the period of the year which in church calendars is known as ‘Epiphany’. It is the period of time when we are supposed to reflect on the visit of the wise men to the infant Jesus. In reality I think it is time of year when most people reflect on how much…

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.…
