#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

It’s odd when psychology interferes with fashion isn’t it? Or maybe vice versa. In the 1980s people started doing up the top button of their shirt when they didn’t have a tie on. I couldn’t do that

Today’s #litter pick trophy goes to Coca-Cola. One fly-tipped mattress reported

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

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

Empty stage before Dead Ringers show

Dead Ringers 25th anniversary tour

The audience for Dead Ringers live is very very very Radio 4, white aged 60-80

#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

Yesterday I had the privilege of spending lunch with a new incumbent as a support and mentor, then the evening with a group of curates for theological reflection. Fantastic to keep my favourite bits of my job in #retirement #CofE

Wife has returned from her weekend away with friends. We have enough food for a fortnight

Ball spent a lot of time in the air today and defenders won most duals

Lovely afternoon for football on a good pitch but @eveshamunitedfc.bsky.social are keeping the ball in the air for some reason I don’t understand #COYR

Yes. Not a good training style but if you concentrated you could learn stuff. Intro to Matthew’s Gospel as next lectionary Gospel

Waiting for the start of a Diocesan training event. Two minutes to go. Speaker not here yet #CofE

Flu-jab evening. Giving it the old warm shoulder

Oops, I mean step 7

Wonderful continuity cock-up on #Countryfile tonight in the cider lab where blue gloves mysteriously come and go during the process

Forgot to put #CofE
