(Yeah, I’ve given up on wittering. Transpires Q, in which I wrote that thing, was too CPU-intensive for the poor wee colo-server to cope with when bots came knocking, so it had to go; it’s all-but a dead language now anyway…)
There are easier ways to host a blog, Tim…

It being the Transfiguration, I did think that a rousing chorus of Shine, Jesus Shine might have helped at the end, but I managed to…
It is the Feast of the Transfiguration today. The top 10 reasons for coming to the Transfiguration service tonight at 7.30 pm in St Mary’s are: It is the festival of change – an auspicious day to come to church to pray about something you would like to change in your life. We are singing…
