Well, I’m now officially an alumnus of Durham University. Was a long way to travel for a handshake, but grand sense of occasion and lovely to see fellow @sthildcollege alumni again. #dunelm (11/01/2018 18:18:10) Olly Murs comes on the radio. Me: “it’s Olly Murs” 7yo: “Is he the one who drives a car on the ice?” Me: … 7yo: “You know, the car on the ice being chased with a satellite laser.” Me: … 7yo: … Me: “You mean James Bond?” 7yo: “YES” #What?! #HesNeverSeenABondFilm (13/01/2018 14:26:57) OO – just got a lovely e-mail from a lass called Anastasia saying […]
Happy New Year to all. Wondering what joys and challenges 2016 has in store… (Fri Jan 01 11:18:15 +0000 2016) It might sound odd, but I actually prefer getting up, showered and dressed to lounging around in pyjamas. Not that there’s an option today! (Mon Jan 04 07:18:01 +0000 2016) It comes to something when a new toy arrives for the computer, and I’m not going to have time to even unpack it before the weekend! 🙁 (Tue Jan 05 21:53:23 +0000 2016) Still, 2,500 words on Eucharistic Prayer F now submitted, Christmas decorations packed away, and new school term […]
As has become my custom, I like to pick my top tweets of the year. I’m including some of my favourite re-tweets this year too. Nothing like a spot of website maintenance to start the New Year. All links now working as they should, and information is up to date! (Thu Jan 01 08:21:35 +0000 2015) May the love of the Word made flesh enfold us, his joy fill our lives, his peace be in our hearts; this night and always. #compline (Sat Jan 03 21:01:57 +0000 2015) Started my placement at Knaresborough today. Next 4 months joining in the […]
Well, that’s the end of the Christmas Cake, mince pies, and other festive fayre. Menu back to normal next week. (Fri Jan 03 08:17:50) CBeebies HD. Really? (Fri Jan 03 09:05:24) Bit of liturgical confusion at church this morning. One person thought Epiphany was today, another thought twelve night was tomorrow! (Sun Jan 05 21:30:49) RT @cluedont: BBC: ‘Much of Scotland’s coastline still being battered.’ They will literally deep fry anything. (Tue Jan 07 06:54:07) RT @jcodfishpie: Obi-Wan: Use the force Ani. Anakin: If you must shorten my name can’t you call me Kin? Obi-Wan: Use the force Kin. (Fri […]
A rather surprising 1,000+ tweets this year, it would seem! Fortunately I have my scapel to hand… As usual, edited “highlights” of my year on Twitter… Well, first ambition of 2013 achieved. Times crossword 25,361 completed correctly without looking at any answers. (Sun Jan 06 19:01:19 ) I love waking up to see a snowy scene outside the window. Roads are still black, but trees and grass have turned white overnight! (Mon Jan 14 06:42:46 ) I managed to put on 3kg (half a stone) over Christmas. No wonder climbing this week was such hard work! (Fri Jan 18 13:47:24 […]
As is my habit, edited “highlights” (for want of a better term) of what I wrote on Twitter over the past 12 months. Right, had better make my first Tweet of 2012 a good one. hang on… (Sun 01 Jan 2012) Another engagement at work! And I mean of the marriage variety, not toiletry or previous. (Wed 04 Jan 2012) My work pc is very unhappy after a fan heater tripped the power (and melted a 4way). Early lunch while scandisk does its stuff (Wed 04 Jan 2012) Is it me, or is Sherlock turning into Jonathan Creek? (Wed 04 […]
As is my wont, I’ve decided to pick over my tweets of 2011, and present edited highlights right here, right now. So without further ado, I give you 2011 (with typos corrected!): Thrown some mulled wine into this evening’s curry… Will report on outcome of experiment. (Wed Jan 05) Mulled wine curry essentially a success. (Thu Jan 06) Great service this morning by da Yoof. Not too sure that “God is sick” though! 🙂 (Sun Jan 09) Just sent an email titled ‘C# conventions.’ May have inadvertantly got my colleagues hopes up for a trip to Redmond. (Mon Jan 10) […]
