Additives

microwave-meal-400x250

A Microwave meal. That was part of supper this evening, freshly bought at Lidl. We realised later that we probably haven’t had a pre-packaged meal like that for over 20 years. What is normal inevitably changes, and at the time you don’t realise what novelties will become patterns as you try them, and how some  Read more

Be Present(ed)

london-2012-olympic-park

Handover. Not a place in Kent, but what is happening at the Olympic site today. The facilities move from the hands of the builders into the hands of those who are putting on the Olympic Games. I first came across this term when Ann worked at Tameside Hospital. This process, at the end of a  Read more

Notes

musical_note_530

It is lamented that the English are losing their sense of song. For the Irish singing when gathered seems to come naturally, and their song welcome throughout the western world. My knowledge of Scots came first through song, then visits, and through a diversity of Scots people, local and national, whose voice is listened to.  Read more

What You See

OpticalIllusion

Funny how you can get an idea in your head, and it actually prevents you seeing what is actually going on. I was looking for the ‘play within the play’ last night – but it turns out what I was trying to see was the ‘play within the play within the play.’ Aah! Now, mentally  Read more

You probably don’t want to know this, but the vicarage loo has a magazine rack. Tidying it up recently I started perusing the Greenbelt Angels booklet that has been there a good while now, and got to thinking about holidays, and particularly festivals. Though we haven’t been to Greenbelt for a few years (it is  Read more

Presence and Engagement

p and e

Presence and Engagement. Sounds like a new Hollywood blockbuster franchise, starring brick-built, suit-wearing heroes out to rescue the world. However, it is a church thing. You need to imagine the Bishop assembling the clergy together, and issuing the call ‘Presence and Engagement’ in the style of ‘PRESENT ARMS!” and the galvanised clergy responding as one  Read more

Sunday Sponge

7-Sombrero-de-Caporal

We had a Mexican Chuckle erupting during this morning’s prayer before the service. The chuckle was spontaneous and persistent, and pervaded the prayer that followed. Andrew had found himself asking God to enable us to be Sunday Sponges. You now need to look in the mirror and see yourself in a different light. Sponges (real  Read more
