My heart goes out to the people of Paris and France today. The savage attacks of last night can only be described as the acts of cowards, preying upon defenceless innocents. Those who carried out these attacks deserve to be remembered only as cowards.
Well, I’m a little behind on where I need to be, but I’m getting there. I’m hoping I can still make 50,000 words by November’s end… it certainly isn’t impossible, I just need to keep pushing!
I can’t seem to reblog things properly via WordPress, but I can certainly share links and blogs I feel are of value. This blog, by Mike Bennett, is insightful about the modern relationship the Church has with society, and worth a read.
It’s like a switch is thrown in the brains of every managing director, CEO, shop owner and store manager. November 1st is go time for Christmas! Cue festive streamers, signs, lights and even music. The most wonderful time of the year is now the most wonderful two months of the year (and now Christmas is […]
(the face I make when people are doing something stupid) As I sit here in the offices of my local council, waiting with my ticket number to be seen, I find myself – as I have before whilst here – with plenty of time to kill. The ‘line’ does not move quickly here – it […]
That face you make when you get to the station and your train is cancelled!
Well ok, less an alley and more of a pavement. It’s still annoying though! Where I work, there are two or three beggars that often camp out near cashpoints or near supermarkets. I am not devoid of sympathy for them, but there are so many reasons why I feel they’re taking the proverbial piss. The […]
Occasionally, I’ll read some of the ‘freshly pressed’ material that WordPress offers me. When I do, I find myself wondering if I’m making the most of my blog, if I’m truly reflecting who I am and what I value. Am I using this space to actually express myself, or am I trying too hard to […]
Not exactly a riveting title, but then, it’s not really a riveting post… Or is it?! I wear glasses. I’ve done so since Year Nine at school (so I would have been 13/14 when I first started wearing them). Nowadays they’re so intrinsically a part of me that I’ve forgotten what it was like to […]
Recently I stumbled upon a blog that had received an interesting question regarding blame and responsibility (in this instance, the subject was rape). The original post can be found here, along with a lot of comments (500+, you’ve been warned!). It got me thinking – at what point do the lines between responsibility for something […]
When Michael found an old mirror in his late grandfather's study, he never imagined it would reveal a hidden piece of family history. Trapped in a strange realm, and changed by the mirror's properties, Michael must unravel his grandfather's legacy. #Kindle
Wow Joanne, wearing your cruelty on your sleeve now. Does it make you feel good to use your platform to demean others @jk_rowling? Do you derive satisfaction from the hurt you cause, Joanne?
Like 6, most annoying character! Some might say Navi the fairy from Ocarina of Time, I say Fi from Skyward Sword. Fitting that the most annoying Zelda game features the most annoying character!
Right, like 5. Which game character do I feel most like? I am scatty and neurotic, so probably Earthworm Jim!
I saw a social media post the other week, and it got me thinking. Does bigotry go both ways? If we want to get uber-technical, then it’s entirely possible for a black person to hate white people in general terms, or women to hate men, or for members of the LGBT community to resent those […]
