Yes, I agree with your ranking of this hymn. Though, TBH, I think the Welsh hymns in general are superior to all others.

Now out for general public consumption- and classic @househammerpod.bsky.social all the way!!

Yup, good solid advice from my York friend to protect me from the rivalry. 🧐
Manchester lost by 1 point it was a great game!
And yes, I’m so excited to be there in November!!

It’s always a happy day when the new episode drops!

Although I have quickly become a football fan (go York City!) I’m going to my first UK basketball match today, a sport I have long loved.

I think it was “best legs in the business next to mine” by O’Toole?

Aw…Hy Hazell!

Tonight’s viewing, pulled out of my lasted haul:

Personally I’d go for the fishing gear. And then use it to get away and relax.

Had a great train fare for a trip to York today but the train was cancelled. Could have paid the difference (double again) for a later train or take a credit, so I’ve spent the day wandering Manchester. What a lovely day to be outdoors!

Very much so. 🍻

Just down at the pub, watching the game. Feeling rather like a local. Can’t imagine a better Sunday afternoon.

(Today I root for Man United, since the folks who invited me are longtime fans. But don’t worry, I have chosen my team, but they played yesterday. And trounced their opponents!)

As long as He has my taste in movies in mind, I’m good with any mystery. 😄

Nice right? But I doubt they’d have lasted on the steps of any place in Doncaster.

Side benefit to being a vicar: someone dropped off a set of Blu-rays to sell at next year’s fair. So instead, for a small donation, they’re going right on my shelf. Pretty good haul for £15 right?

That kid’s got great taste!

For the record, I do try to get out of the house on my day off because I’ve been often told how important social interaction is to every person.

Then this arrived in the post. I’ll be in my comfy chair.

She is a wise woman.

Then that’s acceptable. (And my advice is to buy her something nice of equal value and above all NEVER make her watch it with you!)

I’m going to take a shower, I say. Then read my book in my favorite chair, I say. You can have the whole rest of the house I -
Oh, bugger.

Please send them my best regards and tell them they will be awesome priests, no matter what these tests say.

Where’s that frown emoji…? 😩 well, perhaps you are a completist?

When I think back to this night last year - I was anxious, nothing was moving forward, my dream seemed to be on shaky ground.
Tonight I’m settled in my new home, watching fireworks and realizing it’s all worked out magnificently.
May all your New Years be as wonderful as mine.

Excellent choice. Mine’s Vienna by Ultravox.

Yeah, I don’t believe it for a minute.

Tonight’s viewing - been saving it for a special treat.

When I got settled in to my new home, I got the computer set up and dove into Fallout 4 again. I still love it.

I realize it’s been ages since I posted and even longer since I watched this absolute classic.

I love this story (and if you peer between the trees you can see my house!)

When I signed up, I committed to standing up against people who misuse the gospels to hurt and hate. Trust me, these attitudes are “false prophets” and need to be called out. Love God, love your neighbor. Really is that simple.
