Lovely lunch today meeting old friends from Bath at a halfway point – The Village Pub, Barnsley

The Village Pub in Barnsley, The Cotswolds - The Village Pub
Just 4 miles from Cirencester, the Village Pub is a classic English country inn with oak-beamed ceilings, dimly lit corners and roaring open fireplaces.

Did the #RemembranceSunday service at Church Lench today. Since my last job before retirement was 16 years in a church without a building or churchyard I’m happy with how it went #CofE

@eveshamunitedfc.bsky.social have met a bit of a bump in the road in this, their promotion season. Still reasonably comfortable in mid table (W5 D4 L6) but three defeats in a row by the odd goal has been hard to bear 1/3

@eveshamunitedfc.bsky.social 1 #FarnhamTown 2 Farnham much sharper second half, deserved their lead and managed the half out well

@eveshamunitedfc.bsky.social 1 #FarnhamTown 1. Not much goalmouth action. Decent route 1 goal and unlucky og equaliser André Wright is getting the better of a huge central defender

#Radio4Today interviews the animator of Paddington for the new musical. The reply:

‘Well we started this journey a long time ago.’

When did it become necessary to use the journey metaphor for everything, especially when the word ‘job’ or ‘task’ would do?

Preaching at the local #Baptist Church this morning. Nice, friendly group of people

My pumpkin is a cool woodland creature backed by the Easy Star All Stars doing Thrillah. The healthy option satsumas went before the Haribo. We can redeem this thing people #Halloween

I have never watched, apart from online clips from time to time, #GBNews. Yet my smart TV quite often defaults to the channel. I will remove the app if I can but does anyone know if money has changed hands to make this happen?

Just wished a happy 50th birthday to a member of my ‘class of 92’ #CYFA group. Off for a lie down #CofE

Very impressed with the work of #DentWizard who repair minor scratches to car paintwork on your drive

I cannot accept the premise of the question
Any #CofEpeeps up for a challenge?
I really don't care for any sort of religion. That's what I decided when I was 5, and 55 years later I can't see any reason to revise that view. Why do people believe the peculiar myths - please enlighten me

With a broken heating system and no children at a ‘Family Service’ (don’t blame me I’m the relief) the good 14 folk at Church Lench still had a decent crack at an a capella Jesus I Love You Deep Down in My Heart #CofE

If this week tells us anything it’s that people will lend their vote to whoever they think will defeat the most dangerous party and will do so until the voting system is changed #politics #elections #STV #PR

This album came out the year we were married. Aged well

Lovely autumn day for a game of footie but @eveshamunitedfc.bsky.social lost 2-1 to Uxbridge who were a bit sharper second half and managed the game out well

Saturday breakfast listening to my boy’s new EP. I’m biased but if you only listen to one autumnal machine soul album this week make it this one

#Hunted is great fun because the contestants can be a bit dim but it would be hilarious watching the hunters spin out eight episodes of having no clue where anyone is
