It wasn’t until I spent some time reflecting on the long weekend that I realised it had gone a long way towards recharging me, and giving me more energy to get through this busy month. For some reason, I was sick on Thursday, and ended up working from home on Friday – still not feeling …

A busy month
Before the end of October, i’m expecting that I will have:– prepared and preached a sermon on sola fire (faith alone)– completed three assignments for college, including one that requires me to conduct a 30-40 minute marriage counselling session on a role-play couple – If you’d like to help with that, let me know– resumed …
the first 5000 posts
When you least expect it, a milestone will fly by. WordPress tells me that I’ve now written over 5000 posts on this blog, in the last 8 years. In that time, I’ve used Blogger, Movable Type, and now WordPress, I’ve visited and blogged about over 350 cafes (some of which have closed down), and I’ve …
random facts meme

the faithful writer
A friend of mine suggests, each time he tries to arrange a weekend catch-up, that perhaps my talk of slowing down is merely rhetoric. Indeed, you could be forgiven for thinking that there are no upcoming projects that require a giant time commitment, based on my schedule. This weekend past, I left work a little …
curry night
I asked myself many times whether the curry night concept would actually scale, was pleasantly surprised. Would something that worked for two people stretch out when it was ten people all learning to make curries? Would we end up with something edible? Indeed we would. The invitation process was a bit too haphazard: the next …
red design
After a few weeks of fiddling around, I’ve put another redesign together for the site: the next step is to upgrade to the latest version of wordpress – they’re churning the releases out now!
unwell
The dream-run of good health seems to have taken a break. Both Kel and I are feeling unwell, and it’s a bit of a contest to see who can look after the other. Unfortunately, work is too busy at the moment for me to take much downtime, so I’m spending my sick leave with the …
exams are over (for now)
Another semester has drawn to a close. And so, to celebrate, I’ve upgraded wordpress out of beta mode, and then, despite my best intentions, kept the template exactly as it was. I have, though, done some long-overdue pruning to my blogroll: let me know if you think you should be on there, or if you’ve …
