AN IRISH DADDY - Blogging for a Better Future. A perspective on family life and the world in general from a Northern Irish daddy living in England. Wednesday, 17 March 2010. One vomit and you're out. Ciaran's not been too well today. Nothing serious. He just threw up over his breakfast at nursery. Ellen dropped him off at the usual time - around 8am - and I got a call from the nursery about half an hour later to say he'd vomited and could we pick him up as soon as possible. Preferably right away. In the ...

Yes indeed, little paddy boy Ciaran is speaking English. Well, a smattering. I thought I'd put a post on here about his progress as I did for Ben when he was roughly the same age. Here are some of Ciaran's highlights:. Mommus - kids favourite train, Thomas the Tank Engine. Ninny ows - Ellen's Mums house.

Sue Chef' steals the show at Jamie's Italian. Just back from Mum's 60th birthday bash in Bath. I'd set off yesterday at about 10.30am with a route carefully plotted to avoid the motorways and the inevitable summer holiday crush heading to the South West. Our booking at Jamie's Italian at 8pm was looming large. It was a cosy little cafe -...

February 22, 2012. This autobiographical essay and testimony was recently published in. Touched by Grace: LGBT Stories in Community of Christ. During the next twenty years my theology evolved from literalism to something less rigid, and I was able to release myself from the idea that being gay was condemned by God. I still kept it all to myself. My shame is that I support this economy as well. I am not willing to endanger the body of Christ to save the outcast, even when it’s me. I am painfully a...Since...

Our Road to Emmaus. May 9, 2011. I’ve been reading and pondering Luke 24, the story of the Road to Emmaus. Here is a link to the story…. I’m left with so many question…. Why don’t the disciples recognize Jesus among them? Why don’t we recognize Jesus among us, and the church of our future? We are bewildered and rehearsing our woes, just like they were. Our hopes and dreams are dying along with our numbers and buildings. My belief is that we are over-burdened by our fears, like the men on the road to Emma...

Christmas 2011 - Northern Ireland. I kept a diary of my trip to Belfast to see Mum and Dad. Here's my notes. Day 1 - Arrival. The flight from Luton was easy and on time. I caught the Translink 300 shuttle bus from Belfast international airport, arriving at a frigid Great Victoria street station about 40 minutes later. Stop landlords r...

Never trust the Welsh with your finances. Stephen and Kate visited this weekend. Ben, especially, had been very excited about their visit and kept asking all day when they would be arriving. Arriving they did, around 6pm, and Ben rushed to the door to welcome them in. We were playing the relatively-new credit card edition (there are s...

Santa comes to town.on 3 December. Quick update on things. Got the Christmas tree up today, a tad early but I'm off to Belfast next week to see Mum and Dad - and anyway, it's the first weekend in December so it's just about justifiable right? So we queued up for what seemed an age. Ciaran was getting very impatient, not least as he ...

The importance of cutlery. I thought it was about time I put an update on here about the boys. Ben's now two years and eight months old to be precise; Ciaran's ten months. Ciaran cut another tooth last week, notching up the sixth fang in his ever-expanding set. Ben got his full set some time ago. He's also well into the crawling phase.

I’ve been doing a lot of cycling recently. I bought a cycle carrier from Halfords for £60 which has proved a great investment. Easy to set up and dismantle and for the price of a decent meal for two, it gives you the freedom to take up to three bikes wherever you want. Getting sick of the mountain bike tyre treads s...
