Hello everyone! Surely sending for the Bishop of Durham in the diocese of - what? Peterborough? Ely? is asking for trouble. They're not even in the right part of the kingdom - Peterborough and Ely are subject to Canterbury, Durham to York.

Liking the new avatar-y thing, CB.

Many thanks. You've a discerning eye. But just the one

I’d be knackered too if I had to get up for Matins. Might just about make Vespers.


I was teaching some brats about tesselations one day. (Not on their curriculum, naturally). There they were. messing about with triangles etc. Almost blew their minds when I showed them what Escher did with lizards etc.

West of Cambridge but south of the border, down Mexico way... Robin is a bandido!

Maybe the Bish of Durham was the cheaper option.

I had always thought of Friar Tuck as a Franciscan, but he seems to be a Dominican, I think.

Don't think the BBC cared about it. These are the only robes they had.
