  • Caption Competition

    It is probably unwise of me to draw your attention to this, but it appears that Fr Madpriest is running a caption competition using Stewart’s pic of me with these two brides. Comments over on his blog for this one please. Off you go. Have fun.

  • Spirituality of the everyday

    Fiona asked me some good questions on my previous post about Morning Prayer. She asked me about how to use the material that I’d provided. Note firstly, by the way that I’ve already updated the pdf file with version 2 as I had made some mistakes in the earlier one. I’d left too many antiphons…

  • Still snuffling

    I’ve spent most of the last week snuffling. Many tissues have been expended, much lemsip has been consumed and all the while, I’ve not been moaning. “Do you have a man-cold?” I’ve been asked on more than on occassion. I’ve denied it so far. After all, I think it is far better to leave man-colds…

  • What am I listening to?

    Well, thank you for asking. It has been a while. This evening, I’ve been listening to the Damnation of Faust live from the Met in New York on Radio 3. I’m very tempted to give their live Cinema relays a go too. Excellent idea. (And is it the answer to the problem of Argyll and…
