I can’t recall when I hurt this much over something I’ve read online … apparantly, a post on my little blog has put someone off their calling to religious life at Colwich Abbey simply because I posted a photograph and wrote on my blog, of my joy of my retreat experiences there.
A Colwich sister [...]

Gordon Bennett Zenit…
After years of subscribing to Zenit email notifications I have well and truly had enough of recieving requests for money…I don’t doubt that they do a great good, but they are not the only Catholic News Agency in the world…and really, if i see another Zenit email like the one below, I think I [...]

Cyber Humility
Just some rambling and not entirely cohesive thoughts on things that are irking me somewhat…
Irk 1. Stats
I’m under no illusion whatsoever that as far as blogs go, my little blog is of fairly miniscule significance in the blogosphere in terms of ranking, site stats and status….and if truth be told, I am grateful for this [...]

When worhipping in Wales…
When worshipping in Wales, this is the parish I attend, St. David and St. Helen’s.
This is a photo taken in the daylight while last there …
and this is a picture taken in the evening…
The Church is as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside and over the past 3 or four years [...]

Try to ignore the troll…
…who wrote this (amongst other things) in the combox.
“I’m surprised that you have got time to sit on the computer all day, why don’t you spend the time with your children, and these incidents would not occur? Why do you think you have to put your daily life on your computer, there are thousands of [...]

GRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a head cold from hell and I’m alternating between being sweltering hot and fffffffflippin’ freezing on a moment by moment basis. I went to Mass, but i think i should probably have just stayed home…..i tried not to take anyones hand at the sign of the peace, but hey, I couldn’t do a [...]

The future of Credo Christian E-Cards
As you know, last year I started my E-Card website Credo Christian E-Cards…well it’s been performing fairly well and it’s had thousands of hits, but I’m very limited with the site when it comes to things like website display (can’t alter it without paying a chunk of money to a web designer who specialises in [...]

Love online.
Alexa’s story proves that not everyone who allows the medium of internet to be used as a means of fascilitating friendships with members of the opposite sex, is going to end up hacked to pieces and thrust into a dumpster in an alleyway in Chinatown…..and Alexa’s not the only one of my blog buddies who [...]

The Facebook Song!
I think it’s time for some light relief…
This is just hilarious….and sadly, more than a little bit true…oops, shouldn’t have admitted that should I ?
To be facebook friends with this socially inept chicklet just click the yellow facebook icon of me on the right column of the blog. LOL! [...]

The lump situation
Hi folks, we got to the doctors and found that we had to wait for 1 hour and 20 minutes to be seen…I guess there were people with higher priority, but it still seems a long time to wait. Wonderboy was bored stiff and anxious, though other peoples behaviour kept us entertained reasonably well. [...]

Personal Prayer Request Continued…
Today’s appointment was a waste of time.
I got up early to Wonderboy saying he has another headache. I called the doctors to make an appointment and was informed that we couldn’t see the doctor and that we would have to see a ‘nurse practitioner’ instead….i won’t insult nurse practitioners by saying they are people [...]

Personal Prayer Request
My 12 year old son discovered a lump at the back of his head last night (under the skin, round, quite hard, doesn’t move easily, worrying me sick…). The receptionist at the doctor’s just informed me that I could have got him in this morning, if I hadn’t already taken him to school as [...]

Breakthrough! New Monitor Camera!
As you all know by now, photography is my ‘thing’. Well, imagine my glee at discovering there’s been a scientific breakthrough, a real technological advance which allows anyone with a computer and internet access to take a photo of themselves using only monitor technology!
Yes. The geeks in the know have sussed out a way [...]

The I’ve Got the Urge’ meme….
I’ve been memed by Jean! This is a good thing today since there is a lot of ‘heaviness’ in my life right now and it isn’t all because I’m overweight, so thanks Jean for allowing me the opportunity to have a mini- rant! There doesn’t seem to be any rulez with this meme (though everyone [...]

Savvy Shopping.
While I was holidaying, I enjoyed – in part due to the appalling weather on at least half the days we were there – the luxury of reading 2 books that I had purchased while partaking of one of my all time favourite pastimes, perusing the bookshelves of charity/thrift shops and secondhand bookshops.
It may [...]

It’s been a blonde year….
Okay, I’m just a bottle blonde so what follows below should be in no way representative of my personal level of ditziness…but actually, rather alarmingly, it is!
Thanks to my friend Gerry for forwarding this to me :
“Blonde’s Year in Review
January
Took new scarf back to store because it was too tight.
February
