Yes!! Victory! Managed to stave off the "black dog" and back to best form! I even got carried away yesterday and a ten minute sermon turned into a 15 minute one! (I need to curb my enthusiasm sometimes!) It's all to do with this power of positive thinking lark, which I'm getting used to. The RW is so annoying when she sees positives where I have tended to continually dwell on the negatives....

Yesterday's corned beef hash was horrible. Which just proves that you really have to use good ingredients, and I usually do, living in France has made me very, very picky about food, but I was foolish enough to risk that Happy Shopper tin and I deeply regretted it. So tonight, still without pictures, I am making up for it with a vegetable stir-fry I'm cheating I bought a packet of ready-cut vegetables,...

"This is your Captain speaking, if there are any mellow passengers on board could they please make themselves known to the cabin crew immediately". I don't think so. But age distorts so many things and the black dog currently nibbling at my shoulder is the terrifying realisation that...
Sorry, haven't been very blogg Oops, remembered that I swore not to apologise anymore when life gets in the way of blogging.

The Black Dog of depression is never far away. Maybe it's the rain, or the lack of good sunshine? The last few months of ministry, and life in general, have been good and positive months, but as I sense the dark clouds looming on the horizon, I fear that I'll be burdened with them again, or will the brilliantly resurrected "me" be able to fight them off and stay sane and bright? A couple...
I've remained silent for the past week A while ago I vowed not to clutter cyberspace with negativity Not to empty my excess emotional baggage in front of the interested/frustrated/judgemental gaze of every passing person who neither knows me nor cares. So when the Black Dog is baying and the Grey Fog descends, I simply shut up, retreat into myself and daydream about a time when This Too Shall Pass...

His England career ended brutally – now Matthew Hoggard has the chance to show his cerebral side with Leicestershire In all my years involved in cricket I don't think I have ever seen an international cricketer of long-standing and considerable achievement have his career at the top level terminated so ruthlessly, in the middle of a series as well, as Matthew Hoggard. If it came as a shock to...
