Remembering my all time favourite actor on his birthday. The man, the icon, the legend - Peter Cushing ❤️

Ah, so this is what happens…😂

Very pleased to be at Evensong at Durham Cathedral on this great feast day @holland-tom.bsky.social congrats on this honor!

A sad departure for our much beloved Andre, and more proof that the movie doesn’t have to be great for the episode to be excellent!

Who knew that the town that was the setting for The Prisoner was an actual town in Wales? I didn’t - but now I want to go!

Went to a “mandatory training for first incumbents” (priests of multiple parishes) today, which was offered 1 3/4 hours from home. Attended what was, instead, a fascinating discussion on how to have challenging conversations around ethical issues. Totally worth the trip! Now, about that training…?

Well, nothing like a march and a protest to change the whole plan for the day. Still, sitting in the pub until the buses run again isn’t a bad thing.

Welcome to the house of fun?

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Happy Easter to all who celebrate - my first in my new places and it was brilliant.

I have been loaned the 5 seasons of a show that I am trying to watch rapidly so I can return them before too long. Yup. Binge Fringe.

Thinking about a spa #Caturday? Then you cannot go wrong by starting with time luxuriating in a large tub. (Water optional.)

And sad to reach a point in my life when so many of the talented rockers are leaving us.

One day you daren’t go out without thermals and gloves and the next you wake up sweating and scrambling for a t-shirt and something to block that bright light. Clearly, Greater Manchester does weather just like New Jersey.

Wishing all a glorious St David’s day!

Tonight’s viewing wasn’t bad - hit the right tone for me!

Now out for general public consumption- and classic @househammerpod.bsky.social all the way!!

It’s always a happy day when the new episode drops!

Although I have quickly become a football fan (go York City!) I’m going to my first UK basketball match today, a sport I have long loved.

Aw…Hy Hazell!

Tonight’s viewing, pulled out of my lasted haul:

Had a great train fare for a trip to York today but the train was cancelled. Could have paid the difference (double again) for a later train or take a credit, so I’ve spent the day wandering Manchester. What a lovely day to be outdoors!

Just down at the pub, watching the game. Feeling rather like a local. Can’t imagine a better Sunday afternoon. (Today I root for Man United, since the folks who invited me are longtime fans. But don’t worry, I have chosen my team, but they played yesterday. And trounced their opponents!)

Side benefit to being a vicar: someone dropped off a set of Blu-rays to sell at next year’s fair. So instead, for a small donation, they’re going right on my shelf. Pretty good haul for £15 right?

For the record, I do try to get out of the house on my day off because I’ve been often told how important social interaction is to every person. Then this arrived in the post. I’ll be in my comfy chair.

I’m going to take a shower, I say. Then read my book in my favorite chair, I say. You can have the whole rest of the house I - Oh, bugger.

When I think back to this night last year - I was anxious, nothing was moving forward, my dream seemed to be on shaky ground. Tonight I’m settled in my new home, watching fireworks and realizing it’s all worked out magnificently. May all your New Years be as wonderful as mine.

Tonight’s viewing - been saving it for a special treat.

I realize it’s been ages since I posted and even longer since I watched this absolute classic.

I love this story (and if you peer between the trees you can see my house!) m.youtube.com/watch?v=pWTx...

When I signed up, I committed to standing up against people who misuse the gospels to hurt and hate. Trust me, these attitudes are “false prophets” and need to be called out. Love God, love your neighbor. Really is that simple.

Ya know, it took me less than an hour at the rental car desk to realize that ignorant salespeople and driving in NJ are the biggest sources of stress for me. Loving the visit, and the personal insight, but not gonna miss this when I get back to meeting friendly people and walking everywhere.

podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... a great episode - interesting guest, great fact checking on orthodox crossing, but be warned, @cevni.bsky.social is a mean spirited bastard. 🎶 Rah-rah-raz pooh tain 🎶

@househammerpod.bsky.social is this a game? Or a lifestyle choice?

I’m going to have to check this out - never seen anything with Charlie Chaplain’s brother before!

So today is Black Cat Day, Teddy Roosevelt’s birthday & National Navy Day. Why do I know? Because today would have been my father’s 95th birthday. He had lots of friends but I doubt anyone else remembers. But I’m toasting him, since he always made his little girl feel worthy of love. Miss you Dad.

Can’t wait can’t wait can’t wait! Just a few more days until I get to gather with an audience and be scared together watching Ghostwatch on the screen at Manchester’s Cultplex! cultplex.co.uk/Cultplex.dll...

Please help me support Rescue Kitties by voting for free at : mygivingcircle.org/rescue-kitti... It’s where my best cat ever resided before she came to stay with me!

Nice palate cleanser before getting back to work this evening.

My absolute honor - nay, privilege - to be invited on Zach’s fantastic podcast to talk about a classic with Zach and the unsurpassable movie buff, @smokeyjustsmokey.bsky.social Just three old friends sharing the love of Dead of Night and you can join in - podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/y...

Get ready…

Just listened to @househammerpod.bsky.social special Patreons exclusive on Night of the Big Heat and realized this is one thing that’s has me @scarredforlife.bsky.social

I was a huge fan as a kid!

I adore this movie!

Just took my first trip into Cultplex to see Universal’s The Wolfman. If you ever get the chance to see any older films on the big screen, do it. Positively gorgeous and truly a bit scary!
