Back.

HBO is my favourite TV network and also the reason Steps split up.

Conscious I need to invest a bit more in this platform and wean myself off the other place….sorry for being quiet!

When #ordinandginclub met #clergymaltclub. Happy Christmas to fellow ordinands and wonderful clergy colleagues!

Based on what I see of construction industry estimates of inflation (driven by an acute labour shortage) the answer is probably “no”.

Some days, although we cannot pray, a prayer utters itself —— Some nights, although we are faithless, the truth enters our hearts, that small familiar pain —— Darkness outside. Inside, the radio's prayer - Rockall. Malin. Dogger. Finisterre. -Carol Ann Duffy, Prayer #everynightapoem #december

The incarnation - God among us, in poverty, coming from the margins in loving, self-sacrificial service - overturns all we thought was true about the world, and about wealth and power. #advent #christmas

Tomorrow’s sermon is now written. A bit “to the wire” but never mind!

Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe OP!

I think it’s probably time the sex-pest greengrocer quietly left the stage.

I stopped working in a bank vault due to bullion in the workplace.

Was prompted today to remember Father Roger Lesser, missionary in Rajasthan, who had an enormous influence on my spiritual life and my understanding of ministry and priesthood. I think he would say: love generously, don’t exclude, serve practically and speak well of Christ.

My dad put his favourite mug in the dishwasher too many times so now it looks like he has a souvenir from the weirdest theme park ever.

Big shout out to the women serving at Pret Finsbury Park who remembered my usual order even though I’m only there once a week.

He’s right - lots of good voices here

Gosh. May he rest in peace.

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up. If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

Fame at last for Crackers as “Crackers Craft Lager” debuts at Girton College’s Social Hub.

Today in Morning Prayer at Girton College we prayed for all those working to broker peace, especially in the Middle East: that God may grant them the wisdom, openness and imagination to find new pathways amid the current desolation.

New hero just dropped

Definite chill to the air today. Have taken action.

Well Gladiator 2 was a good old romp, and I can’t pretend to have thought a profound thought at any point in the movie. Caracalla and Geta like carbon copies of John Hurt’s Caligula. Good to see on a very big screen with thundering sound.

Settled on a name for my bafflingly aggressive butter substitute: Fool If You Think It’s Clover.

Word of this morning is ‘procaffeinate’: to put everything on hold until you’ve had sufficient amounts of coffee.
