Vicar of Didley at Ridley: March 2010
http://vicarofdidley.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Vicar of Didley at Ridley. Sunday, 21 March 2010. And a mad idea. As I usually don't do major college work at the weekend, I ended up not working Saturday and Sunday, working like fury on Monday and into early Tuesday morning so that I could take Tuesday off as my Sabbath. I then got my head down on Wednesday, wrote the essay and handed it in on Thursday, when we broke up for Easter. And I've now got a month off. Brilliant plan! In the spirit of constructive feedback, I've suggested that in future we try...

Vicar of Didley at Ridley: December 2009
http://vicarofdidley.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Vicar of Didley at Ridley. Sunday, 27 December 2009. I couldn't quite believe it when I read this article. About proposals to put up railings around a former church in Cambridge city centre. The message that comes across is "the homeless and drunks are an inconvenience and we don't want anything to do with them. They are somebody else's problem". Who seem to be much more switched on. Their response. In a later newspaper article needs no further comment by me, apart from "well said! The Cost of Marriage.

Vicar of Didley at Ridley: July 2010
http://vicarofdidley.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Vicar of Didley at Ridley. Thursday, 15 July 2010. It's done. On Sunday July 4th I was ordained in Bristol Cathedral by Bishop Mike. You may now call me Reverend. Or 'oi, you'. Whichever you prefer. Notice from the picture that the delivery of 'curate grey' arrived just in time. Prior to the ordination the seven new curates had been interviewed for the diocese' website. But I hadn't expected this, at a happy occasion. The Bishop lays his hands on your head as he ordains you, praying for the Holy Spirit t...

Vicar of Didley at Ridley: May 2010
http://vicarofdidley.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Vicar of Didley at Ridley. Thursday, 27 May 2010. I'm absolutely very tired! But go here to see the result. A selection of before and after comparisons. Evidence of further crimes against tasteful colours was discovered in other rooms, lurking behind radiators. As you can see, the difference between the late 90's and now is bold and loud versus muted and cool! Thursday, 20 May 2010. But I have nothing on the timetable for a whole week! I've never bought so much paint in one go (the picture only shows h.

Vicar of Didley at Ridley: August 2009
http://vicarofdidley.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Vicar of Didley at Ridley. Thursday, 20 August 2009. Some students are about to embark on an MA course and consequently have just had an intensive 2 week summer school, with a full-on program of lectures and reading. That's a bit too extreme a contrast to my current lifestyle for my liking, so I'll stick with 'predictable-if-a-bit-dull' for a few more weeks. Some of us wandered around the maize maze. Up Deptford Creek with a rabble. Go to London and do the Science Museum and anything else we can think of.

Vicar of Didley at Ridley: January 2010
http://vicarofdidley.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Vicar of Didley at Ridley. Sunday, 31 January 2010. That's partly just physically tired, and partly just sick of a constant cycle of reading. However, I did learn that it's not good to mention this at the dinner table, as a day slaving over hot library books is not equivalent to a day cleaning the house from top to bottom. Apparently. Friday, 15 January 2010. The Trinity of Power. Good Now for the Jesus bit. A week of contrasts. Following that I led Morning Prayer in chapel on Thursday morning, the day t...

Vicar of Didley at Ridley: October 2009
http://vicarofdidley.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Vicar of Didley at Ridley. Friday, 23 October 2009. Things are looking OK on the curacy front. I've been in touch with a friendly bishop who has some interesting places that I could look at. You have to be related to me to find out more. Or if you're at Ridley you can believe the rumours. Or if you're a former CYFA member you'll remember our unoffical mascot. That's all I'm going to say for now. One Year On - Remembering Mark. Listen to the words carefully - the song was written after the sudden death of...
