Booyah! #ScovsRSA 14/14. Brilliant play by the team in heather #AsOne

I'm not a fan of metal core. Not really. Yet the last 24 hours has seen me captivated by Dead Pony. Don't shun me

I asked Gemini what wisdom St Benedict would offer those if us enduring this unspeakable heat. It's answer is alarming in it's accuracy. Full article here: www.facebook.com/share/p/1Ed5...

I am so fed up of this. I cannot concentrate on doing anything that needs doing. It's too hot out. It's too hot in. Sounds like some sort of Hades based hokey cokey

Spot on this: we spread the good news of Jesus “not by shouting louder, but by loving more.” ❤️✝️❤️

It's 28°C in our lounge. I'm actually melting

I abhorred Ann Widdecombe's politics. I respected her faith. But dear God, now the police have opened a murder investigation? I'm shocked

it’s hot. may I recommend a crypt for these trying times?

Watching #FeryvsZverev at @wimbledonltc.bsky.social. Gripping match already

Forgive the language but yep

Change of musical tack... The Sundays are always the summer for me. Harriet Wheeler's voice is one of the very finest. Fact. Utter gorgeousness

Still a progressive metal banger. Februus by Uneven Structure

Anyhoo, I miss have coffee. How's your day?

Menial task of the day #1 New water filters fitted in the jug fjr the fridge and the kettle. Makes such a difference in ultra hard water areas like Hertford

Still one of my fave albums of all time. Whatever the genre give 'Language' by The Contortionist a listen. Melodic, emotional, soaring, heavy, rhythmical All killer no filler

Don't do rhyme that often in work I write for publication, but I do love to sit on a hillside and write a little ditty on occasion...

Morning all. Rest day on progress. I may not have moved very far yet

The new Fierce And The Dead single is out today, give it a stream and make an aging nerd happy. open.spotify.com/playlist/3I3...

odepoetry.ai Heard about this on the #Todayprogram on Radio 4. Just tried it. Simple interface. Fun

A full & fulfilling day. In lieu of morning prayer, a good chat with a new Christian. Leading our Thursday study group. Mid week Eucharist Jerk pork for lunch Coffee with a colleague A little admin Meeting at a local school Evening prayer #dayoffeve #cider #cheers

Ay up. Another full day: Morning prayer Dog walk Abortive collective worship (forgot to tell me they'd cancelled it) Admin Lunch Two glorious home communion visits Meeting the chap servicing our tower clock

SmAll Saints was ace today. First time we've got a congregation of twenty in less than a year since planting. Awesome beans

The begins with stillness

Online governor training a-go go. Also started another online meeting that I normally host

Evening prayer prayed. The church building is SO humid it's disgusting. Did a bit of clearing up too. Sadly someone has left their car in our carpark. We shut & lock the gates at 5.30pm. They are locked in now.

One set of neighbours has in recent months felled a tree on our property and now has reinforced Theo boundary with new fencing (which is good) but to make the boundary good, they have stolen a piece of trellis on our side (on the ground.)

After I wrote last week's column, I learnt that a neighbour with severe disabilities, an extremely tough & resourceful woman who lived to the full, died in the heatwave. Everyone here is devastated. I can scarcely express my anger towards a mindset that treats people like her as collateral damage. 🧵

This afternoon I spent some time visiting older members of our community. Fortunately curtains are drawn. Blinds are down and fans are on. Check in on vulnerable neighbours of you can

Phew it's warm! Even church was warm for morning prayer. The Aircon worked as I took communion to the local NCH though!

New gin makes a luverley #ginntonic

Peggy or Pip seem to have left me a seasonal gift whilst I was in the kitchen. Hello Santa

After a full weekend (Thurs-Sat) seeing family in.Somerset and Oxford my brain was a bit addled but we've had a full on day. Two creative and reflective services. Lots of movement and activity. Feeling happy. Vids are from this morning's prayer stations

Had a lovely day in Wells today with DW and MiL. Such a gorgeous city. Delish lunch at Niche (photos below). Impromptu coffee with the Bishop's wife ( not a euphemism.) successful shopping for MiL. Looks like our summer holiday plans might be changing...

Mates and daft GIFs. Good to be back

Pre-ordered the new #TFATD album. The new track is huge. Genuinely really excited!

Lovely walk with the dogs. Love this mural en route

Hello. Hello? *Tap* *tap* *tap* Is this thing on?

I may have seen the best gig of my life. I've waited for over thirty years for tonight and they absolutely did not disappoint

Evening folks. Any of you lovely lot seeing @sugarcopperblue.bsky.social on Sunday night?

What a day! Lauds SmAll Saints (our toddler NWC) Lunch Admin & Palm Sunday evening liturgy finalised. Vespers Tea cooked (butternut squash gnocchi.) Meditations for Holy Monday, Holy Tuesday, & Holy Wednesday finished. Easter Day (football focussed) All Age talk written. Good progress!

A day bookended by prayer which has included: 1. Much thinking following @markrusselluk.bsky.social's talk last night. 2. Leading worship a local NCH and spending time with the residents and staff. 3. Leading a funeral for someone who was Hertford through & through. Off to Deanery Synod tonight.

It was a pleasure to be at All Saints Hertford last night for their Lent series, following after @joshdeanmp.bsky.social who spoke last week. It was good to talk about @childrenssociety.bsky.social vision for a society built for all children! Thank you @simongcutmore.bsky.social for the welcome!

Really looking forward to seeing and hearing @markrusselluk.bsky.social tonight #Faithinchildren #Goodchildhood #TheChildrensSociety

Someone really needs to help the Beeb with their reporting. Shock, a diocese a cathedral... Yes he is a priest but he has been serving as a bishop for no e years now... Grumble ~~~ BBC News - New Bishop of St Albans announced - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Not been here much again. You'll find me on FB too. Morning btw #restday

Fellow #Christians. One of our study groups will reach the conclusion of its current study series before Easter. It's looking for ideas/suggestions as to what next. What stuff do you recommend?

A slower day. Good to chat and pray with a regular this morning at Morning Prayer Lovely walk with the dogs. Rush on the cans. Sun in a blue sky. What's not to like?

Today's liturgy #AglicanLutheranSociety

In other news I'm loving the new output by Peter Gabriel. I'm not really a fan but I loved I/O and the current raft of singles are great too. A bit of a purple patch
