Today in 1605 Guy Fawkes and friends tried to blow up Parliament. I was walking past the execution spot when a US couple asked if anything had happened here. "Yes", I said, "the Gunpowder gang were publicly disemboweled, castrated, hanged, and beheaded." The fife: "My lord, was this recently?"

I'll be preaching and presiding at St. Luke's, Burlington at 8.15 and 10am. Not sure if the sermon will make everybody comfortable. I certainly hope is doesn't! Christianity is life-changing and world-changing.

Our grandson - four in January - has decided on his Halloween character. A vacuum cleaner. Our daughter has made the costume!

I've lost about 30 pounds. Not entirely sure how because I eat largely what I want but it might be due to giving up alcohol, of which I was far too fond. I'm 175 pounds, hardly light for someone who is 5ft 9, but my children worry that I'm too thin. I've dreamt of such a problem for years!

Apparently our grandson (4 in January) has some imaginary monster friends. Last night he suddenly said, "Monster friends don't despair! I am here and can read to you."

You can support peace and justice for the Palestinians and still condemn the October 7 massacre as an obscene atrocity. Odd how so many people find this impossible. I wonder why ....

Let's see who condemns and who remains silent. These people were British Jews attending their place of worship on the holiest day of the year. And if anyone mentions Gaza we know their motives. Anti-semitism existed long, long before now.
