Hey all, I’ve updated my template from the one I designed to plug my album…think of it as a sign of things to come in the next few weeks…I’m planning to write a few new posts and get back into blogging again properly. Until then…Mark

I’ve just returned from the gym and there’s one thing that never fails to baffle me about it…the changing rooms! I’m not a stranger to changing rooms with showers…even changing rooms with communal showers, after all they were present in the school changing rooms back in the day but no one ever used them! My [...]

I’ve never been particularly enthusiastic about sports. When I was a child I used to play rounders with a local church group, I spent a month or so with cricket lessons before realising I wasn’t manly enough for a wooden ball to come hurtling at me and of course at primary school I spent a [...]

So in the last week in my blogging break I’ve been to Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft, Sheffield, South Cave and London…lots of wedding planning done, lots of potential blogs thought of but I’ve resisted the temptation to blog…until now! I have a love/hate relationship with London…I got quite used to the business of our capital city [...]

A friend on twitter posted about a new programme called ‘mflow’ the other day wondering if it would be the next Spotify. I have since requested an invite to mflow and had a chance to preview it and whilst the reviews talk about it being a cross between Spotify and Twitter I seriously don’t think [...]

I’ve just returned from the gender day I mentioned yesterday and will blog on it properly tomorrow however today ‘The Sun’ has an article with some fun things from Facebook so I thought I’d share on and link you to the others…they’re vaguely amusing, although my favourite Facebook group is still ‘I hate it when [...]

On Friday I headed into Beverley to get a few bits…Beverley is about the same distance from me as Hull and much more relaxing to wander around and smaller. Whilst there I past a small bookshop called ‘Jacobs Well’ which is a charity bookshop with a small Christian bookshop attached to it. Whilst the Christian [...]

Since starting lent I have not purchased a single thing from a supermarket however I have been in ASDA on one occasion! Today I needed to go to the Apple Store in Meadowhall and had some time to kill at the same time. This is all well and good but Meadowhall is one of my [...]

I’m personally not remotely a fan of the Christian sub-culture whereby we have a ‘Christian’ alternative for everything for example want some shoes? We have Jesus sandals…Like rock music? There’s a Christian band who sound just like your favourite band (just not as well produced and only very vaguely sound like them!) and want a [...]

There’s a new product heading to the supermarkets and that product is a Marmite Cereal Bar…Jo told me about it after seeing a billboard advertising poster. Whilst I love marmite and love this idea I am a little cross about the prospect of a marmite cereal bar and the reason behind my anger and upset [...]

Whilst I have 3 more serious topics I want to blog on over the next few days  I don’t have time to do a massively serious blog today however back to the baking theme of a couple of days ago and onto desert! Today in preparation for tomorrow night’s youth group murder mystery/pudding party Heidi [...]

Attached to the school I do some youth work at is a gym and since starting I’ve had the best intentions of joining and last week the application form finally moved from my desk into the gym and Saturday (as my twitter followers will know) was my induction session where I was shown around the [...]

Yesterday I managed to forget to blog but seeing as Sunday’s in lent don’t technically count today can count as yesterday! I had a few things I wanted to blog yesterday so I’ll pan them out over the next few days however last night I went to ‘South Cave’s Got Talent’ which was a fund-raiser [...]

Just over a year ago Mike and Yvonne who had hosted me throughout my time in Peterborough moved half-way around the world to New Zealand and after countless meals prepared by them in my time in Peterborough I was able to return the favour tonight for a couple of hours as part of their flying [...]

I’m sure I’d blogged on this previously but a search of my blog seems to prove me wrong! I’ve spent much of today planning my second lesson on the Amish for the A level students tomorrow and one part of the Amish belief which I find myself agreeing with more and more is their belief [...]
