Here I am on St Valentine’s Day, all on my little lonesome. Not perhaps how I’d have liked things to work out, but I think the way things have worked out with the certain wonderful young lady in whom I took a romantic interest have worked out for the best. I’m not really bothered about […]
My cold thankfully didn’t last long. Yesterday morning I took myself to bed with a tissue role, some sweets and my laptop with which to watch Attack of the Clones on DVD (in preparation for seeing Revenge of the Sith later this year, because I hadn’t seen it yet). It seemed to do the trick! […]
That basically sums up how I am at the moment! Unfortunately I’ve come down with the dreaded lurgey. (I hope I didn’t catch it from reading Sarah’s blog, though that’s unlikely unless it’s a computer virus. Boom boom.) It’s very annoying – my nose is all dribbly and runny and I’ve a tendancy to explode […]
My church background doesn’t really place a great deal of emphasis on the “signs and wonders” type of thing. While a good measure of healthy skepticism is often needed – the Bible warns us to “test everything” (1 Thessalonians 5:21), and there have been some terrible examples of the abuse of such beliefs, such as […]
Gah! Exams! Essays! We hates them, we does! Humph.
Happy New Year! 2005 is upon us already. And what a year it’s been for me… I’ve passed my A-levels, learnt to drive, led a church service in Welsh, asked a girl out for the first time, tried to understand how God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibility go together, gone off to university, made new friends, […]

Well, at least when talking to oneself you have an attentative audience!Ah, what a wonderful day is Christmas! Firstly, because we’re celebrating the absolutely mind-bogglingly incredible event of God becoming […]
…and Caleb’s getting fat on mince pies!It’s now the day before Christmas Eve, or Little Christmas Eve, to borrow what I believe is a Norweigian usage. It’s from the wonderful book The Christmas Mystery by Jostein Gaarder, anyway, which was translated from the Norweigian. It’s got a chapter for every day of Advent and is […]
Argh! You know what happened last week? Well, it was Reading Week and also my birthday, but I’m talking about something more earthshattering (or earthshocking!) than that… Doctor Who was filming on Queen’s Street, part of the shopping centre in Cardiff, and I missed being there by a couple of hours. Gah! I went back […]
Hello everybody! Now that I’m beginning to settle down into a normal routine after the chaos of arriving, registering and experiencing the hectic madness of Freshers’ Week, I can hopefully begin to update my blog on a regular basis again. Unfortunately I don’t have Internet access in my room, but I’ve been jotting down a […]
