I have been brooding on the theology of the reserved sacrament again. Or rather, the lack of theology.
I find myself in the awkward position of having to support and encourage a pattern of worship I’m not sure I understand. Indeed, I’m not sure that the church as a whole has come to an [...]

I’ve just had a friendly chat with the local traffic warden, and offer this as a public service announcement. (yes, he was pleasant. All Dunoon eyebrows can be lowered now.)
I was trying to prevent him from giving someone else a ticket since I’d driven past a minute before, was now walking back from the Garage, [...]

I have just begun the process of cancelling my subscription to Orange, and thus ending a year of broadband frustration.
Orange cannot cope with Macs ( I run both a Mac and a PC for rather bizarre reasons…), and whenever I have needed customer service, it has been appalling. Until today. I don’t think I have [...]

Distraction in morning prayer today went something like this:
it’s sunny
I’m stressed
what if it rains tomorrow?
I will be wet and miserable and more stressed
day off today??
