Can’t say I rate the O2 website – except on price, I suppose. I ordered the phone, as you know, and got the usual flurry of confirmation e-mails. However, after a few hours, I got another e-mail that informed me said phone was in fact out of stock, that it would be shipped as soon […]

Needless to say I coulnd’t leave my Psalmic musings hanging, so I thought I’d start by doing a Google, and Lo and behold a nice exposition of Psalm 42 came up, by Ray C. Stedman. The whole page is worth reading, but his dealing with verse 7 resonates with my intuitive understanding of what the […]

At our work prayer group this week we were looking at Pslam 42 (As the deer…), and we all found ourselves tripping up over verse 7: Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me On one level I love this verse, as it’s so […]

Hoorah – my new phone is on it’s way. How can this be, you ask? Well, it turns out that O2 have a special web deal of said phone for eighty quid, which includes a free bluetooth headset. Ok so I don’t need a bluetooth headset, but this deal beat the pants off expansys’s 180 […]

On the subject of ‘free verse’ type music, how could I forget to mention Katie Melua? There are nine million bicycles in Beijing That’s fact, It’s a thing we can’t deny Like the fact that I will love you till I die It’s sort of displaying parallelism too – the Old Testament poetic metric of […]

Phew – on holiday! Going to stay with my Mum in London, which will be the first time A. and B. have seen her since Easter, I think. My sister and neice are also popping over, so that’ll be lovely. The downside is that we need to pack, and try and think of everything Ben […]

Ooops – apologies for that double-posting; guess my blogging method is not foolproof after all! 🙂

I think that Terry Wogan has a lot to answer for; he keeps bringing music to my attention that I really like, and so I end up visiting iTunes. Doesn’t help my saving up for a new phone. The latest is Juliet Turner, an Irish singer-songwriter responsible for the most catchy Dr Fell and Burn […]

Wandered up to the Orange shop in the Student Union to try and get some hands-on experience of the phones I’m considering. They had the Moto V3 and the K750i.. the latter was just the same as my k700 in terms of weight and size.. The V3 didn’t really grab me. I think it was […]
