Wren were insanely good Sludgy, doomy, heavy (unlike their name) Next up @dvneuk.bsky.social

Small but beautiful Eucharist for The Visitation to start the day. Now waiting to meet a lovely wedding couple

Elderflower cordial here we come

Finally giving this s/t by @riversofnihil a spin. Second full listen through. It's the distillation of their sonic journey. Real brutality and glorious melody pattern this album. I had feared they'd veered to far towards a metalcore sound.

A day with looooooooooads of admin crowding out other stuff. Leaving me feeling line the day has been a waste

I'm off to #pray. In my experience #prayer changes things - mostly me. When I pray I am a better Christian; a better human; a better husband; a better father//brother/son/friend/nephew/son in law etc. I find peace & rootedness when I pray. I pray you would find that today for yourself.

Yeah big sad. AI use as proposed will kill the arts. Scandalous

MP's "fear" delay in EHRC guidance! Any delay is like a person on death row getting at least a hope of a reprieve, for UK trans people. The UK is the worst place in the world now for trans people save places where we are criminalised. Shame on you Baroness. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Holding the people of Liverpool in my prayers tonight. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cn5xnlkegz0t

Today has taken a sharp turn. I'm now watching #DanandPhil #TerribleInfluenceTour. It feels like Eric and Ernie on speed or an extended 80s kids show on speed

Anyone I know here led a river blessing? If so, do you have a liturgy you.might share? #church #outdoors #liturgy #blessing

I never sleep much beyond 5-5.30am these days. This morning? 7.50am Lie in for the win!

It was announced a year ago that I had been appointed as parish priest of All Saints Hertford. It's been a move that has brought much joy and some challenges and difficulties but is has been undoubtedly been the right move at the right time. Deo Gratias

This makes me ridiculously happy - breakfast outside

A little bit of loveliness added to a scabby bit of patio. I'm recapturing time in France

Disperse should have been huge. Their album, Forward, especially is melodic, technical, proggy heavy - it ticks all the boxes... Do your ears a favour #progsky #progmetalsky #metalsky

Feeling better after a walk with the dogs. There's still anxiety in my system. Such is the damage done. As someone said recently - trauma lives in our bodies...

That subtle combo of petrichor and low level anxiety a confusing morning doth make

On my way home

Made it!

Waiting.

#nowplaying The new album by Som

He definitely listens to technical #deathmetal.

A nice day. Slowish start Chilli for lunch Oven fixed. Lots of Green Alkanet pulled up Dogs walked Tea drunk Off to a colleague's putting in in Sawbridgeworth tonight.

In other news we spent today doing something I love: Going for a beautiful walk - today was Panshanger Park and a pint at the White Horse in Hertingfordbury. Here's a photo of an old tree in the park.

I'm on holiday. Why won't can't I sleep much past 5am???? Just had a wee snooze as compensation.

On the music front - aside from aside from some black metal (my oldest's choice), today I've rediscovered Silenmara. No need to thank me if you like #deasthmetalsky or #progmetalsky open.spotify.com/album/2JVWh1...

Has Starmer found a small bit of backbone?

“Sesame Street” has found itself a new home. Netflix announced that the decades-old public educational television program will premiere its 56th season on the global streaming giant, along with 90 hours of previous episodes.

Wow. I've not been here for nearly three weeks. Is that a good thing? What did I miss?

DVNE at the height of their powers. Love this band! #progsky #metalsky youtu.be/LTXrp2tAazo?...
