What better way to spend Christmas Day evening than finishing a bit of Žižek?

“…further wars, increased poverty in the poorest Third World countries, and greater divisions between the rich and the poor within all societies.” From “First as Tragedy, Then as Farce”, Slavoj Žižek 2/2

We transferred the feast at St. Chads to today. Just settling down to listen as is my duty and joy.

Who just managed to bag three volumes by Sergius Bulgakov for less than £6 from Oxfam? I did!!!

Interesting car crash round the corner earlier (no injuries); definitely not a pictorial metaphor for next month’s General Synod

It was our 23rd anniversary on Saturday. Had a lovely but noisy trip to Foodie Fridays in Stockport town centre the night before. Can recommend but get there early! Next one is last Friday of the month I think.

I need not worry about how Jnr1 is eating at Uni. This was the tea he cooked for himself last night. (I don’t think his flatmates have yet discovered hot to season food…)

Popped into the library and found an absolute screamer of a book (the author of which seems deadly serious). I’m disappointed that this aspect of Angelology wasn’t mentioned that the Greenbelt Eucharist:

Listening back to @marika.bsky.social ‘s talk on Angels and Cyborgs from a few years ago at Greenbelt. Very good stuff and packed full of ideas. Maybe too many to shoehorn into my sermon next week in Angels. Makes these image seem even more apposite though…

Maybe this one?

Experimenting with Canva to make publicity for forthcoming services. Am I doing it right?

Could be a bobbin?

New Wine having a good one this week then…

Hmm, this is New Wine programme from 2022
