OK, I have a pile of work to do, my desk is hidden beneath a mountain of paperwork, and here I am playing at memes. Not going to bother naming anyone to do it next - but have a go if you like procrastinating…
4 jobs I’ve had

It being my day off, Son #2 and I went to the flicks to see the latest Indiana Jones and what a disappointment. Bad script, lousy and unbelievable story, terrible use of stunt doubles, and poor continuity. Poor old Son #2 has been looking forward to this for such a long time and was livid [...]

Forgot to tell you what I did on my day off this week. (Well, half day, actually.) Having worked all morning I decided to sit down and watch a movie which is becoming a rare event these days. Who has two hours to spare? Anyway, I watched The Golden Compass and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I did [...]

Last night a select group gathered to watch Hairspray. What a great movie/musical. I can’t wait to see it on stage. Good messages too - fat is fine and black and white belong together. Some good oneliners too.
My only complaint would be that the backing track was too loud to allow you to hear all [...]

Film night last night and we watched Amazing Grace, the story of William Wilberforce and his fight against slavery. The group enjoyed it. I wasn’t so sure. There was a distinct lack of black people in it. I think it could have had more of their stories in it. But I did like his use [...]

I watched them both yesterday. In my persistent illness just now I am unable to read, do much at the computer, or even contemplate writing hundreds of Christmas cards. All I feel good for is sitting about wheezing gently (as opposed to moving around and wheezing like an old bull elephant).
So yesterday I watched Shrek [...]

If you go to the Golden Compass website (beautiful by the way) you can find out your own daemon. Mine is Nicoleus the Jackal. I was given Nicoleus because I am: modest, outgoing, sociable, responsible, and dependable. Do you agree?
Your daemon is always the different sex from you. I’m not sure that a Jackal is [...]

Film night last night and we watched Life is Beautiful, recommended by D & K, and it was a resounding success. I suspect that when the lights were put on there were a few moistened eyes to be seen but that was fine. It was one of the most enjoyed films we have ever watched. [...]

Day off today so I decided to take it easy after a morning of preparing the AGM reports, and watched some stuff I’d recorded.
You know that we clergy need to be in touch with our people and so we should watch the same sort of thing they do. Young L has been singing and dancing [...]

As part of our Open Week to please all people, we watched Brother Sun Sister Moon last night. If you haven’t seen it, you should. It tells the story of St Francis of Assisi (his feast day is on the 4th) and was directed by Franco Zeferelli.
After the film group detested the last film I [...]
