How to be a Christian grown-up | Mel is a geek
https://melisageek.wordpress.com/2015/04/28/how-to-be-a-christian-grown-up
Let it be said…. Mel is a geek. How to be a Christian grown-up. This post will not actually do what it says on the tin, because I don’t think I know the answer. I was reading this book called “Ordinary” by Michael Horton which a friend lent us. It’s basically about how nobody wants to live an “ordinary” Christian life, and why is that? And what does that mean anyway? 8220;We are all adolescents now.”. This is quite a provocative thing to say, and a big part of me doesn’t want to accept that maybe I...

Well this is an unusual situation. | Mel is a geek
https://melisageek.wordpress.com/2012/11/04/well-this-is-an-unusual-situation
Let it be said…. Mel is a geek. Well this is an unusual situation. You know how, just sometimes, you find yourself sitting somewhere, looking around, and thinking, “Well this is an unusual situation”? We went to McDonalds. Dressed for a wedding. In Tower Hamlets. I couldn’t help but wonder what on earth the other people there thought of us. We had an engagement party the other weekend, in the self-styled People’s Republic of Stokes Croft. After a fun, reasonably normal time at The Social, we went to try ...

Things I have learned about dogs | Mel is a geek
https://melisageek.wordpress.com/2015/04/19/things-i-have-learned-about-dogs
Let it be said…. Mel is a geek. Things I have learned about dogs. This is my dog, Bounderby. We got him on New Year’s Day and he has sort of taken over our lives. I think I probably knew quite a lot more than the average sane person about dogs beforehand, but having this furry person in our family has taught me (and Tom) a lot of new things about dogs. Here are some of them. 1) Puppies are really violent. 2) Dogs are more polite than 1920s English gentlemen. 8221; It’s this:. I didn’t know this bef...

All right my babber? | Mel is a geek
https://melisageek.wordpress.com/2012/09/06/all-right-my-babber
Let it be said…. Mel is a geek. All right my babber? Oh, yes, so, I live in Bristol now. How I love thee, with your chatty cafe staff, your two or three ciders on tap in every pub, your spectacular hill views, your plethora of independent stores, your cider barge, your street art making beauty out of ashes, your floating bus service, and your people who say “churz”. Well this is an unusual situation. →. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Email (Address never made public). Now You See Me.

Let it be said…. Mel is a geek. We need to talk about Susan. I spend a ridiculous amount of my time talking about Dog Bounderby nowadays, so you’d be forgiven for thinking that we don’t have any other pets. You’d be wrong. I don’t know if you recall my ongoing struggle to own some goldfish. It became, rather, an ongoing struggle to keep any goldfish alive for any length of time whatsoever. So I went to a better pet shop and bought Cagney and Lacey. I left all my friends in Oxford, apart from Cagney and L...

Let it be said…. Mel is a geek. This is a blog about the life of Mel. It’s mainly about two things:. 1) Finding out what it means to live the Christian life. 2) Road trips to villages with silly names, and the satisfying disappointment that ensues. A good person, deep down. A life well lived. King Solomon’s posting guidelines. We need to talk about Susan. Let there be light. How to be a Christian grown-up. Things I have learned about dogs. For thinking and living. Road trips and travel. Now You See Me.

When the food runs out, eat the weak ones | Mel is a geek
https://melisageek.wordpress.com/2013/09/17/when-the-food-runs-out-eat-the-weak-ones
Let it be said…. Mel is a geek. When the food runs out, eat the weak ones. I’m sure I am a million miles from being the only person who has become completely ashamed of my country’s government in the last six months or so. But I just can’t believe the way things have gone; the ugly, shameful press releases that they have sent to the papers, poisoning what we read, what we hear, and eventually, what we believe. How do they choose to divert the blame for this failure? They have to pay to stay put. So ̵...

Thoxford | Mel is a geek
https://melisageek.wordpress.com/2012/07/28/thoxford
Let it be said…. Mel is a geek. Well, with all this crazy busy running about trying to pack and find a house, job, say bye to everyone and do too many other things, I’ve not really had time to reflect upon leaving my eccentric home of nine years. But I jotted down a thought on a train the other day. It’ll have to do for now. Thanks, Oxford…. City of dreaming bohemians. Chavs, nerds and geeks. Thank you for accepting. For allowing me to wear. Whatever the hell I like;. To attract zero comments. Scribbled ...

“The Gaudy” | Mel is a geek
https://melisageek.wordpress.com/2015/03/28/the-gaudy
Let it be said…. Mel is a geek. 8220;The Gaudy”. Well, it’s been an extremely long time since I’ve written on this blog. Why? Don’t know really – lack of time? Too much dog training? It might be because it’s a kind of external monologue for my anecdotes and now Tom gets to hear all those in real life instead. I think that’s closer to the truth than the “no time” excuse. But it was also decidedly odd. I shouldn’t have been surprised about that, should I? Making it even more like time travel was the fact t...
