We have had a disturbing report from the traffic police. A well respected tax collector - Paul of Tarsus - was speeding on the approach road to Damascus - we believe he must have been travelling at over 20 cubits an hour - when he was flashed by a traffic lantern. He fell off his camel and was found in a confused state and taken to the nearby Continue Reading

In the beginning was God. And God said 'Let there be Light' ... and there was Light. And God said 'Separate the light from the darkness'. ... and the light separated from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And God said, 'Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the Continue Reading

Yesterday was wet - very wet - and we couldn't get the car to start - so we didn't go to the cinema - because it was too late to get by public transport - and - it was a long way by public transport - so... ... we went to see a friend of friend's art exhibition - which was linked to an open day of the artists - who have studios on Eel Pie Island Continue Reading

If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried. A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

We then went to a reception in the Institute of Electrical Engineers - on the embankment - shades of Faraday and Continue Reading

About 11:30 last night we took one of the cycle rickshaws around London and then to Waterloo station. It was quite an interesting experience going around Convent Garden and charging through the traffic in the Strand - very scary as the rickshaws didn't seem to have brakes and the driver seemed to have no sense of fear or self preservation.

At the tender age of 49 my Christmas was ruined when I was told that the real reason that Santa's coat was red - was because of a Coca Cola adverting campaign in the late thirties - green didn't go well with the red of the cola label or the look of the drink.
