brighton

I've got a new hobby - whenever I see something weird or witness an odd or quirky situation, I describe it as Brighton.

real life e.g. Seeing two ferrets being walked on leads in the town centre, that is a bit Brighton!

There was a recent article on BBC about Paulo di Canio unwittingly doing a half-marathon because he took in a wrong turning in a 2-mile fun run. Now that is Brighton and a half! I guess using it in my vocabulary helps to miss Brighton less, it remains around in my life, through all the zany things that I see.

"Keep singing of the cross" released today!

Reading Family Church have had a CD long in the making, recording homegrown songs from worship leaders Josh John and Kat Starling. Today, marking RFC's 10th anniversary, they are proud to announce it has been finished! They are giving it out for free as part of the celebration at Reading town hall, and making it available for free at the RFC bandcamp page! I really enjoyed getting on board for the drumming of this, sharing recording duties with band Y drummer Rob who put in some fantastic rhythms. I pray the songs will be used far and wide for worshipping God, churches and elsewhere!

cycling

Before going to the swindon parkrun, I decided to cycle to a local car boot sale. Unfortunately, the opening time for it was 9am and not 6am.. which was the time that I was there for. Whoops. I cycled back home in a lax fashion not really looking where I was going, until the predictable happened - I got lost. Serves me right for not paying attention eh! Still, guess I'm just finding my way around the new town, right? Right?? Well.. not being quite with it when cycling to parkrun, I managed to get lost a second time!
I had a look to see if I could log my complete cycling route on google maps. Click to make large..


Here's what my route Should Have looked like - a nice crescent moon ish shape..

...And heres what Actually happened! as if it was drawn from my non writing hand..

In total, google says my wanderings away from the path added an extra 4 miles to my journey... I know why I want an afternoon nap then!
