  • listen very carefully…

    Yes, I know you’ve all been desperate for another bloggage from yours truly, well I hope this is worth its wait on hold. My Dad asked me for some information about a new bicycle seat I had bought, which was lovely and comfy for those of us who would rather not sit on the edge…

  • shopping list prayers

    This bloggage continues my short series looking at different ways of praying. It started last week with ‘buffet‘. I was going to call this ‘Christmas List’ but you’ll hopefully see why I have called this ‘shopping list’ instead. SHOPPING LIST When I was a child I would often look at written shopping lists and mark…

    I was at a Church Meeting last night (and was immensely blessed by the experience). As a frequent ‘outside observer’ of Church Meetings I have a few ‘hunches’ (not caused by uncomfortable seating): The way a room is set out may have a correlation with the mood of the meeting. If those leading the meeting…

  • satnav software problem

    My satnav is an invaluable resource. Because it gives me live traffic updates it can navigate me around jams and queues. It has saved me hours of frustrated sitting in the car going nowhere. But in the last few days it has irritated me. The first occasion was when it alerted me to a lengthy…

  • radio control

    My sailing boat is radio-controlled (It’s the one with the green hull). I have discovered that there are two types of radio control units. The radio signal from my controller tells the receiver unit in the boat what I want it to do and the boat responds. But the two types of controller are different:…

  • can you hear him?

    This next few days are very busy and my opportunities to inflict bloggages on you will be limited, so this will have to do for a while. Let me explain why… Today I am planning to enjoy a day off. I am planning to go sailing with Sally (model yacht sailing) and this evening I…

  • to vote or de-vote?

    This week I voted. It did not take long. It was not difficult. It was an election for my local Police and Crime Commissioner. The ‘campaign’ has been very low key around here – no leaflets, no phone calls, no posters. I had to look up the candidates for myself in order to make a…

  • one small voice

    One of my guilty pleasures is supporting Ipswich Town Football Club. It’s good for humility and helps me learn to cope with disappointment. A couple of times a year I like to go to watch them at their home ground, and I like getting there early to watch the preparations for the match – watching…

  • listening

    I currently have two mobile phones. It may seem a bit excessive one is for work and the other is for personal use. It means that when I am “off duty” I can turn off my work phone, sending any calls to voicemail, while still being contactable by friends and family. This system works pretty…

  • communication

    A piece of advice we were given before we got married was ‘always kiss each other goodnight’. As well as being romantic, it also ensures that there are no lasting grievances between you that are unresolved at the end of the day. Good advice I think – it’s worked for us for 25 years. A…
