nukelearfishing – the random and occasionally humorous musings of a Baptist Minister who is trying to be a free sample of Jesus and discover God in the ordinary.

sequencing
Finally it feels as if we are getting on top of the box-emptying and unpacking that has dominated our life for the last week. I am now sitting at my (unpacked) desk in a room that temporarily will serve as my study. I have my (unpacked) books on the bookshelves that just about fit in this…

what is the secret of good comedy?
Timing. That doesn’t work so well in written form. But say it out loud and blurt out the answer at an unexpected moment and it’s a goodun. As I know some of you will be worried about it I thought I would bring you up to speed with the progress on the parcel delivery for…

being a good patient
This bloggage is nothing to do with my surgery or subsequent transformation into a Minion (see previous bloggages if you don’t know what I mean). Way back in February I ordered an illusion from a manufacturer in the USA. And they sent it off to me in the post. I waited. And waited. I was…

metaminionosing
Yesterday I had a shock. When I was washing in the morning I looked at my shoulder and it had turned bright yellow! My wife suggested that perhaps I was turning into a minion from the shoulder outwards. I will test that hypothesis with a banana BANANA! B A N A A A A N…

Green with envy
So here’s the thing. The surgery on my shoulder went well and, while painful, I do have some freedom of movement as it’s not in a sling or anything like that. I have been told to keep my arm movements within certain parameters and not to do any heavy lifting but I am able to…

newsflash
Dear Bloggists Tomorrow I am having some minor (keyhole) surgery on my shoulder, which may mean that my blogging is curtailed for a little while during the period my shoulder is incapacitated and typing is a bit difficult. I am sorry to say that normal service will be resumed as soon as possible. You have…

possibly the best headline in the world*
*other than those made by corduroy pillows. There are some things that seem too good to be true. My favourite newspaper headline for a long time is in today’s Independent: “Giant Minion terrorises drivers in Ireland as 40ft inflatable blocks traffic on Dublin road” – you can read the story here: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/giant-minion-terrorises-drivers-in-ireland-as-40ft-inflatable-blocks-busy-dublin-road-10436179.html The picture that accompanies…

mortal
Even though it is the holiday season at present, death has not taken a vacation. Over the past few days there have been many reminders of this as well known people have died, and there have also been some tragic accidents that have resulted in death. We must never forget that behind the headlines are…

out of all proportion
When our children were very young I started something that became a family ‘thing’. I was messing around with them and, resting my head on top of one of our son’s head, I jiggled my jaw back and forth. It made him laugh so I did it again. Our daughter didn’t see what I had done but…

moving thoughts
Yesterday the EBA got the keys to the house in which we will be living next month. I joined a couple of people from the EBA to look around so we could work out what needs to be done. A couple of things struck me (not falling masonry – the house is sound!). One was…
