Vasa
Vasa – detail Originally uploaded by status6. (Found this on Flickr when searching for ‘Vasa’ photos.) While at Grind today, Richard was telling us about his trip – while in Sweeden – to the Vasamuseet – a museum dedicated to an unusual ship. A great example of why monarchs should stay out of fields like …
the exam beckons
After a less than wholly productive day of study, I’m off to sit an exam for a correspondence course on the Old Testament… I can’t say I’ve missed sitting exams. Update: It was okay. At first reading, it was pretty frightening, but I managed to find four out of the eight questions that I could …

I’m not …

prior to cooking
prior to cooking Originally uploaded by cafedave. Having spent some time eating sensibly, the last weekend was a toe-in-the-water visit to some of my worst eating habits. Dinner on Saturday night was a small potato (steamed in its jacket), a light green salad (no dressing), and one of these monster T-bone steaks (somewhere around a …
pyrrhic victory
Those of you who know me will know that I’m quite a patient person. Those of you who know me better than that will know that this isn’t the whole story. In fact, while I have on occasion demonstrated something that could (in a certain light) be thought of as patience, what often passes for …
