I’ve created a new website/blog called katartismos.net that I have decided to ‘launch’ today. It’s from the greek word found in Ephesians 4. So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up […]

There was quite a funny little exchange on Twitter a few weeks back, when Catherine Fox mentioned the Dean Martin song That’s Amore (you know – “when the moon hits your eye like a big-a pizza pie, that’s amore”). This launched a series of alternative lines, which I thought were worth collating. You may beg […]

I went to Ripon Cathedral on Sunday to support my vicar being installed as an Honorary Canon. The installation was carried out during Choral Evensong, which is a very beautiful service, especially with the acoustics of the cathedral. It was lovely to see his parishioners out in force – It felt like every church family […]

I had one of the most horrible experiences of my life this week. I should prefix this story by saying that everything turned out ok!! I should also say that this is a potentially traumatic story if you have kids! On Tuesday we went out to the Stray to line the route of the Torch […]

The Olympic Torch made is making its way through Yorkshire, and yesterday came through Knaresborough, Starbeck, and Harrogate. I took the afternoon off work in order to line the route with No. 1 Son, and cheer it (and the team) on their way past. It was really exciting – while there weren’t HUGE crowds on […]

In theory I can write a new post from my phone using the WordPress app. Does it work?

It was the Cancer Research 2012 Harrogate Race for Life this morning. Going on 3,000 ladies of all ages taking to the Stray to walk, jog, or run to raise money and awareness. I salute you! You can see the other photos I took via photo.eutony.net/2012-race-for-life

Well, that’s it. My last photo in the project was duly taken on Tuesday, making a grand total of 366. I’ve decided to carry on, although I might not be quite so strict about the rules now – we’ll see! Some top level statistics: 366 Photos taken 100% taken by me – i.e. I composed […]

Unbelievably I’m in the last week of my 365 project. While I haven’t reached a final conclusion, it’s hard to imagine stopping taking a photo every day – I certainly haven’t run out of inspiration. The opposite really; there are still masses of types of photos I want to take, and there is significant room […]

I went to see The Hunger Games on Friday, at the Harrogate Odeon. Don’t go to the cinema very much, so it was a real treat. What a cracking film – really enjoyed it. The premise is that there is a brave new world order, with a ruling class and a lower class. The ruling […]
