I’ve been busy(ish)
Hi, it’s been a very long time since my last bloggage. I haven’t gone down with Coronavirus (and you couldn’t catch it from here anyway). But I have been very busy with work and in my spare time I have been creating some silly magic videos with my magic assistant (or am I his?) –…

subtle segues*
One of the things we tried for the first time on your recent holiday was riding a Segway. In case you’re not sure what they are, essentially they are a platform on which you stand with a wheel either side and a handlebar to steer with. Now that’s not really doing justice to them as…

lol, rotfl, or jars?*
I went into a pub at lunchtime recently and was rather surprised when I went in there was nobody else there. The place was empty. I looked around and saw an old fashioned Space Invaders machine in the corner. I couldn’t resist so put the coins in and started defending the earth from the relentless…

prestidigitating (look it up)
Tonight is the second of three magical evenings for me this week. The first was on Tuesday, where I took part in the Mid Essex Magical Society’s annual Stage Show Competition.

lump in throat time
Last weekend was my last as Minister at Colchester Baptist Church. I want to thank everyone at the church for a wonderful send off. I had a lump in my throat the whole weekend, tears in my eyes occasionally and they’ve come back even as I write this bloggage. We had a party on the Saturday night…

The twelve days of Churchmas
To the tune of Twelve Days of Christmas – you can sing through it in reverse order and cover each day individually if you want (and please bear in mind the sentiment behind yesterday’s bloggage: it’s not a grumble and it’s very tongue-in-cheek): On the Twelfth day of Christmas this was my ministry Eating twelve…

last minute decision
Today I have had an epiphany. It’s difficult isn’t it. When one section of society celebrates it can unintentionally alienate another. So English people might celebrate a win at rugby or football or cricket and non-England supporters can feel left out. Sport-lovers celebrated the Olympics and Paralympics last year and those who don’t like sport…

a fun bloggage
My bloggerel seems to be influenced by breakfast cereal at the moment. This morning as I was munching on my non-brand wheat-based biscuits I glanced at a box of crispy rice cereal that was left on the table. On the front was an advert for a ‘fun colour me in activity’ on the back of…
