Just testing to see if it really is possible to create and post a WordPress blog from an iPhone. If it is, I need to seriously think about the real occasions when I actually might need to / want to do this. I mean the iPhone keyboard is fantastic - even more user-friendly than I [...]
Like many Roman Catholics these days, Father Antonio Rungi from Mondragone in Southern Italy, is very concerned about the serious drop in numbers of people who have a ‘vocation’ - those seeking to join the church as priests or nuns. Many monasteries in Italy are dieing because of the lack of new members. It appears [...]

God suddenly appeared.
There I was, minding my own business, when it happened. Out of the blue. No warning. Just came. God, or rather almightygod, appeared on my screen about three days ago. And she/he/it has appeared with great regularity ever since. Just popping up out of nowhere, reminding me of important things, and revealing the [...]

I have been surfing the web for the past few days reading all about tips and tricks to enable me to exploit the features my new iPhone. I thought I would compile a brief list here of some of the ones I have found most helpful. They appear in no particular order.

Things that [...]

I’ve had difficulties in deciding what to do. Readers who have been following this heart-rending story (see My Dilemma) will know that it has been a harrowing time. However, things came to a head over a week ago - July 11, the day before I went on holiday.
We were going to Northumberland for a week [...]

One story which has been causing a fair amount of sniggers in the press this week is a research report by the UK Health Protection Agency indicating that sexually transmitted infections have doubled in under a decade in people over 45 and are now rising faster than in the young. (The overall rate of [...]

Apologies to many of my regular readers for a second ‘techie’ blog in one week, but I need to get it out of my system. I will return to my normal subjects next week - I promise. It’s just that I have recently discovered something else (see Backup!) that I find really useful and I [...]

Those creative and incredibly generous people at Mozilla are releasing version 3 of the world’s best browser (in my humble opinion) tomorrow (June 17), and are trying to get into the Guinness Book of Records by having the most downloads in anyone day.

When the roll is called up yonder, I won’t be there. Which is good, because I’m not too sure what I should have said in the emails I was meant to leave behind.
