May your day be merry and bright… December 25, 2010

and may all your Christmases be white.   Happy Christmas fair folk. I hope it’s a very fantasmagorical day. Born in barn, slept  in a pig trough, visited by Kings which unsurprisingly the family didn’t even know. Pretty epic start to the story. Today I will be percussing in the name of praise for the [...]

Some stuff November 4, 2010

I have just got back from a surf with the boys, followed by a spot of breakfast on the beach front. It really is horrible here. I have now been to Milperra to the inordinately large glass jar outlet with my friend Jules, it’s wild, she’s making Jam. This number plate can be read two [...]

New dimension October 21, 2010

The Beeb have just released this new site that helps you get an idea of the scale of some things. If like me, you struggle to visualise how big the Great Wall of China is, then this site will sort you out. By overlaying images of significantly sized things from history onto a map of [...]

Next October 21, 2010

Ok, so I suppose this is me easing back into the blogosphere. I started this blog over a year ago and I have often felt like I had something to post, something to get out there, but recently I haven’t had has as much to say. That’s not because life has suddenly become more boring [...]

Chaplineringery August 4, 2010

On Monday this week I had the privilege of going to shadow the Chaplain at this school just up the coast. Northern Beaches Christian School is a fantastic place, I was totally gripped with what can only be described as ‘school envy’ when there. I wanted to be 4 again and be going back to [...]

Birthday updates June 28, 2010

So I am now the big ’29′ a significant year in that the next Birthday will neatly segway into my 30′s, but I shouldn’t wish the year away. Mike my housemate says that life gets better as you get older, so He is a good fellow to be around currently. He’s a good fellow to [...]

Micah 6:8 June 20, 2010

This weekend I’m out of town in this sunny nations capital, Canberra. Why they didn’t just agree that Sydney was a lovely city and really should have been made the capital is beyond me. Canberra is quite similar visually it seems, to the boil on the British landscape that is Milton Keyenes, but there is [...]

Random and unstructured June 4, 2010

This is a poorly constructed and thought through post, I warn you, but here goes. I liked the light on this building near the harbour bridge and despite the fact that you can’t read it in this pic, there is a sign in the window that says ‘One way, Jesus’. True. On my final day [...]

Gnarly May 8, 2010

Yesterday evening I went to the Banff Film Festival, which was quite frankly, gnarly. Set up to celebrate and showcase short films of the X-Treme variety, the evening consisted of seven displays from those humans that have a little more of ‘that’ thing in them than most others. Adrenaline personalities I think they call them, [...]

Satisfied sea sigh May 6, 2010

Today was another good day, fitness, work, new business contacts, Miles Davis and probably the best place in the world to have a quiet time: Reading NT Wright’s book on Luke and particularly chapter 22 about the Last Supper spawned this little Mange tout: When we engage with the depth of the Lord’s Supper, we engage [...]

Probably the best weekend in the world April 19, 2010

I had a pretty busy last week freelancing for ‘Out of the Pit‘ a charity aptly named as it’s for Christians in Coal Mining and also doing a bit of work for the Micah Challenge, which is great, but is also the reason for the lack of updates. These jobs continue this week, but I [...]

Amuseration April 9, 2010

Thanks largely to the innocent smoothies newsletter, I get let in on a few nuggets of web greatness and because I’m exceedingly generous, I’m now sharing them with you. This story is amazing, and the photographs, wild. Sadly it is from the Daily Mail, but hey, let’s skate past that. Another blog which I wish [...]

Brunch Mr Bond? April 7, 2010

Over the Easter weekend, I had brunch in a place that can simply be described as entirely befitting of my new mobile number (it ends 007). Upon arrival at this rather plush abode in Wollstonecraft, I was slightly overwhelmed by the sheer epic proportions of the  door for starters, but once inside it became clear, [...]

Office of fair trading April 1, 2010

This is me, sipping on a Banana shake and working by the beach: Smug face.

The birds and the pipes April 1, 2010

This evening I was on my way for a cheeky ginger ale with my friend Chris who is relaxing in sunny (sadly mainly rainy this week) Manly, when I was musically assaulted by something entirely culturally unexpected: Don’t get me wrong, I like the bagpipes, I’m half Scottish, but it wasn’t exactly what I was [...]
