Just a reminder of the post I put up a couple of years ago about How to be Single at Christmas.

To Perth this morning for the first meeting of the Electoral Synod. There is a vacancy in the diocese for a new bishop and this was the first part of the process. Most of the time today was devoted to listening to what people from the congregations want from a new bishop. It made me…
I've enjoyed playing around with the Political Compass webpages. No surprises at all about the result I got when I took the test, I could have predicted it pretty accurately beforehand. However, it is interesting to think about the questions that they ask.
Yes, that was me in the swimming trunks and wellington boots trying to prevent water from coming into the Rectory.
