  • >Cosmetic surgery for cars

    > My car has been having cosmetic surgery. No, not bumper botox or silicone implants in the airbags, it has had a paint job. Around Christmas I managed to catch the corner of a wall with it as I was pulling out of a parking space and this left some deep scratches in the paintwork…

  • >Pachydermatitis

    >To keep things fresh, this entry starts with lots of jokes rather than ending with one:Q: Where do you find elephants?A: It depends on where you lost them. Q: Why do elephants wear blue tennis shoes?A: Because the white ones get dirty too fast. Q: Why do elephants live in herds?A: To get a wholesale…

  • >Noises off

    > What can you hear from where you are right now? I can hear one of my children playing Quidditch (on the Playstation) and the other watching TV. I can hear the click clack of my fingers hitting the keys of my keyboard as I type. I can hear the ticking of a clock I…

  • Money, money money

    I have been collecting spare change for a while now. I have a money box shaped like the Trotters’ Yellow Three-wheeler van from Only Fools and Horses and any penny or two penny coins that I have had at the end of the day have gone in there. It is now very heavy. When does change become…

    >Interesting experience this morning. After our Good Friday Reflection we joined other churches in the town of the Walk of Witness.

  • When pride is not a deadly sin

    Just a quickie today as I have LOADS to prepare for Easter services and events. I dropped in on one of our older members this morning and she was (rightly) proudly telling me about one of her children and their retirement today. Yesterday Hannah brought home an end of term school report of which she…

  • Black Holes

    I have discovered a black hole! On Monday I had a mole removed from my face. The doctor who did it put a small plaster over the wound so I did not get to see it until yesterday. I have a black hole in my face. I am intrigued by it and by how people…

  • Books – I’ve got them covered

    Yesterday I had some VERY minor surgery. I had a troublesome mole removed from my cheek by a GP in Tiptree. It was over incredibly quickly and without pain. The wound was cauterised after the removal (not sure I liked the smell of burning ‘me’) and now there is a black spot on my face.…

  • Stew the Rabbit

    I have just come from telling a story to the toddlers and parents of our Bright Sparks group. I say that I told the story, actually it was a story that was told with the help of my assistant – Stew the Rabbit (see photo). He tries to be helpful (and usually fails) but is loved…
