A quote from my friend Mike Starkey…

"I want to go home now. My brain is broken"

I really can’t add to that today.

Oh yes,


We rule.


I officially am part of a winning team. The fictitious business I’ve been helping run at work has one it’s group stage.

Oh yes oh yes.


And I was right. Oh yes.


Tactics ‘R’ us.


Pity I’m losing money hand over foot on this real work thingy wotsit.

in hindsight...

following smoe thought it occurs to me that maybe those love bites are something to investigate in more detail in future.... ;-)

love bites? I wish... ;-)

Ok, So I have spots at the moment. It’s due to chocolate. Or as mum put it on Sunday "not looking after myself"

Fine. I have spots.

This has provoked discussion in the tearoom. Having decided that they’re not bruises from having been beaten up they are ‘obviously’ love bites.

Uh huh.

Love bites on the chin and forehead.

So not only am I concerned by the fact that this was suggested in all seriousness (says something about your average engineer) but also makes me wonder what they really think of me! Think I’d better watch my step for a while….

Good days bad days

I’m in a complete whirlwind at the moment. So much is going on. Some good stuff, some bad. It’s all too confusing…! I’ve just been told that I’m defiantly staying put up here at Terriers in my new role so that’s good. My new phone is connected. And the car is all in one piece.

However, Gran’s in hospital, The commute in the dark is hideous. There’s just no two ways about it. Driving in the dark is just painful on the eyes not to mention tiring., and as a result my prayer life is in tatters.

On Sunday someone described how life can be like a whirlwind of too many things happening at once. But it doesn’t matter what is going on around you if your foundations are strong and you are standing on the rock that is the word of God. It’s an interesting image. After all, nothing in the whirlwind has really hit me or done serious lasting damage so far. So there’s some protection somewhere. Am I really in the eye of the storm looking out and seeing chaos without appreciating all that God is actually doing for me in the calm eye of the storm.

After all, There’s a lot of good about, and he’s doing his best to make me see him around the place. Mainly that seems to be by pushing me so far that I almost break and have to admit that I can’t do it alone. After all, who can really survive the strong winds of a whirlwind once they’re caught up in them? The legal term for such events is translated as ‘the hand of God’. There’s a memorial in Reading for a man who was caught up in a whirlwind at Reading Station and died. It’s fascinated me since I was tiny.

Maybe what I’m trying to say is that whirlwinds can happen anywhere at any time. Even in the most unexpected of times and places. But there is no need to be scared of them, if you remember what the important things are – God!
The wise man built his house upon the rock….. :-)

Pretty colours...

WOW!

look! The blog has changed colour.

(It's a slow day)

For anyone who is interested, my parents claim that it was illegible before. And they're right - it was illegible on their home monitor whch does intersting contrasting things. So anyway, now it's green, and is apparently easier to read.

Aren't I nice.

Not a lot else going on at the moment. I bought some new star trek DVDs and have been being incredible sad and watching them all week instead of doing anything useful...
