I’m very pleased to announce that our plans for future ministry have been finalised. This week I accepted the Archbishop of Sydney’s invitation to be the new rector of Glenquarie Anglican Church in the southwest of Sydney. We were attracted to the parish from our first meeting with the nominators and are excited to be […]
great news this morning
News this morning about Eleanor Windsor Even better news! Yesterday evening, the ventilator was removed, because Ellie is able to breathe all by herself. Most likely, she’s going to move down to level 2 intermediate care today and will be able to go back to Wollongong hospital not long after that, perhaps on Wednesday or […]
Windsor baby update
Leonie posted this update yesterday (for pictures follow the link). Thank you so much to everyone who’s been praying and helping out. Lionel has been an excellent slave, but he’s very tired. I’ve been mainly lying around… Today was the first day that I was well enough to have a good look at Eleanor and […]
England beat Australia!!!
just got back from the Sydney Cricket ground after watching England simply crush Australia (no other words are adequate) to take the one-day series here. I am amazed since, frankly, despite us winning the first of the three games I thought Australia would come out hard. They didn’t. They came out soft and even though […]
David Ould – international media superstar. Or something
the excellent people over at StandFirm will shortly be launching their coverage of the Tanzania Primates’ Meeting. I have been asked to be one of the commentators for their daily video podcast in conjunction with Anglican TV. I’ll be posting up a link as soon as I have one. In the meantime here’s the lovely […]
Nothing Lasts Forever
…even the longest and most glittering reign must come to an end some day. Ian Richardson, most famous for playing Francis Urquhart in House of Cards, is dead. House of Cards remains by far my favourite TV mini-series. Well worth getting hold of. View this post at the WhiteHorseInn
arrows in the quiver
Our dear friends Lionel Windsor and his wife Leonie had a little girl this morning. Eleanor Joy Windsor was born 4 weeks early by caesarean section. Congrats to the Windsors, practically a royal birth and a quite eligible match for Ethan Ould. Picture here Do please pray for Eleanor, who is getting help with breathing, […]
Hat Eating
well I never. Cover me in flour and bake me for 40 minutes. England (as John insists I point out) only went and managed to actually WIN A RUDDY GAME AGAINST AUSTRALIA!!! And what a day it was, because at 2pm I get a call from a friend offering me a ticket in the members’ […]
Hebrews 11:6
This morning, when I got home from the men’s breakfast at church I arrived to find that my 1-year old son had just, well, exploded in his nappy. As you’ll know nappies, however well designed, only have a certain tolerance level for that sort of material and the Snugglies Premium, or whatever it was, had […]
light relief
This magnificent ad is currently screening here in Oz. http://www.youtube.com/v/K-ViJ2X8cNA Don’t think for a second that means I’ll be letting my little girl jump in any car with a surfer…. View this post at the WhiteHorseInn
