Blogging I wrote a piece about the ECHR and Christianity. The kind of thing this blog used to be about all the time. Health My weight is still stalled at around 14 stone. I lost a bit last week but then put it back on again over the last couple of days. I know exactly… Continue reading Week Notes 3

ECHR and Christianity
Today was the day that the ECHR published its verdicts on the four Christians who had claimed that their human rights had been violated by their employers preventing them from acting in ways conducive to their faith. The four cases were as follows: Nadia Eweida works as a check-in assistant from British Airways. She wanted… Continue reading ECHR and Christianity
Week Notes 2
Blogging A review of the gigs I saw last year. And a new classic album post. Health Weight is slowly coming down. Annoyingly, it has stuck as 14 stone for the last two days. Need to start doing more exercise. Speaking and Training Haven’t done enough to prepare for all the training that is coming… Continue reading Week Notes 2
The Beatles
Still catching up on classic albums. Here are my thoughts on The Beatles by The Beatles (that’s the album we all know better as The White Album). Some Historical Context I was six when this came out. I don’t remember it being released, but I have vague memories of singing Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da when I was… Continue reading The Beatles
2012 in Gigs
Here’s an overview of the gigs I saw in 2012. I saw 36 gigs during the year. That’s quite a lot down on 2011, but that’s partly because I broke my leg and didn’t go to gigs for six weeks. I saw some larger gigs than in the previous year. I saw Radiohead, The Killers… Continue reading 2012 in Gigs

Let’s start the year as we mean to go on and get the first week notes post of 2013 out of the way. Blogging Yesterday I wrote a brief review of the year and started to catch up on classic albums. Other than that I haven’t written anything for three weeks. Health As expected, I… Continue reading Week Notes 1
Graceland
Still several weeks behind on the classic album front. But I wanted to leave this one until I cam back from my holiday in South Africa – it’s Paul Simon’s Graceland. Some Historical Context I’m not sure I can remember a time when I didn’t know this album. When it was released I was frequenting… Continue reading Graceland
Year Notes 2012
2012 was the first year that I tried writing weekly (although they often turned out to be fortnightly) “week notes” posts. This is a summary of what happened during the year. Blogging I’ve been a disastrous blogger this year. If you ignore the week notes and classic album posts I’ve written about thirty blog posts. I should… Continue reading Year Notes 2012
