Wishes. At a shop in Glasgow.
Didn't take much - just a space among all the goods to be sold during this long commerce Xmas season. Hundreds of the 'wish stars'. It often strikes me how readily people talk about or express their wishes, desires, and dreams. (1)

One of the delights of travelling and staying in non-hotel type of places are the books I encounter on various shelves. During my recent visit to Ethiopia, I had the pleasure of spending some time with Dorothy Sayers. Not the most contextual reading perhaps, but such good fun!

It was good to be part of the 23rd Baptist World Congress in Brisbane. I have enjoyed my last talk-on worship and arts-the most, perhaps because it was the closest to my general teaching, ministry & research interests.

Several days ago, visiting the Museum of Lithuania Minor, it was quite special to see a tablecloth which belonged to my Omama - my great-grandmother - and to read about her/see her photo. The tablecloth was special as it was used for the worship gatherings taking place in my family's house.

Looking forward to being at the Baptist World Alliance Congress this summer, and seeing many friends old and new. Many good memories of a previous Congress I've attended, 20 years ago... When, of course, I was just a baby!

Well, hmm. Not sure this *quite* describes this category, dear bookshop at Cape Town airport.

That's a little perturbing. I thought I was supposed to follow him?
