The Long Silence | Jemma Allen
https://exilicchaplain.wordpress.com/2014/02/28/the-long-silence
An Exilicchaplain tackles suburban living. In May, Andrew and I will be leaving China. It’s a long story, and the most immediate chapter began just when I would have been writing about Advent. It coloured our home leave. It required long silences as we waited to see what there would be to say. Leaving China wasn’t the plan. But it became clearer that it was how it was going to go. I have loved China. Laquo; For All the Saints. Date : February 28, 2014. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

https://exilicchaplain.wordpress.com/2013/09/14/lessons-the-sabbatical-dog-is-teaching-me
An Exilicchaplain tackles suburban living. Lessons the Sabbatical Dog is teaching me. We currently have the great joy of looking after a congregational dog while her owner is back in the United Stated for six months. Here are some of the things I’ve learnt in the first month with her…. I definitely still have a New Zealand accent. In Chinese] “What is the dog’s name? 8220;Tiddy” (no Australian/Canadian mocking of the NZ vowels, just an earnest effort to say exactly what I said). 8220;Yes, Teddy”. It is o...

Friday, December 23, 2005. Pania of the Reef. The season of christmas makes everything a little intense and not having a chrisco hamper to unravel the tension, the season of festive. Stress just continues. You can tell those citizens who have a chrisco. Hamper sorted by courier don’t you? They walk like ones who have a hamper up their khyber all happy and laxadazy bubbly and ready to bust out the christmas mince pies without having to battle at pak and save on christmas eve they just walk differently.

Honest Dave: November 2005
http://honestdaverant.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 28, 2005. No compassion on victoria st. Honest dave sympathise with the lovely Meter Maids this morning. A meter maid employed by the hamilton city council had a shocker in the main street of hamiltron. Queen Victoria her self would have rolled in her royal grave, rolling in sheer disgust at the absence of victorian manners shown to this parking enforcement officer who lay collapsed on Victoria st. At this point sam the gen dj narrates from studio window as the 'non-action' unfolds).

Friday, August 19, 2005. 81 more I hate inxs and RIP Lange! The cd release of HONEST DAVE VOL 1 is only hours away. this is more exciting than a paper clip on trade-me, and i know you will have your credit cards at the ready. In the meantime. a rant:. Is our world so soiled, so rotten, so jaded, so full of vice and greed that a band could so violate themselves, and all they represent for the vultures of reality tv? Wot are they thinking? Did they not do stink class speeches in the fourth form? The show i...

Before the London bombs che fu could stroll his suburban grey lynn with the knowledge that his back pack was harmlessly strapped on his back so back off jack if you thought havin a crack at the daddy mac would cut you some slack. I suggest when che fu goes on tour to the mother land and rides the tube between Trafalgar square and sh...

ANZAC Day | Jemma Allen
https://exilicchaplain.wordpress.com/2015/04/25/anzac-day
An Exilicchaplain tackles suburban living. I’m a member of the Anglican Pacifist Fellowship and, as such, believe that the waging of war is incompatible with Christian life. It is also true that other Christians believe differently, and, however we believe, war is an ever-present reality in our world. It is complicated. We should remember war, those who died and those who mourn. We should remember because war is costly and I long for the day when war is only to be remembered. This morning we remember.

Monday, September 26, 2005. Dirty diana and how not to curtsy. Here’s a little ditty about dave (nat) and Dianne. (lab). David bennet and diane yates went up the hill. To fetch an electoral majority. Dianne fell down and broke her ham east crown. And david came humbling after. I loved voting on Saturday. Though there were a couple of disappointments. Good to see Yates keeping it real there. 5 thousand votes is a little humiliating but then whether you lose by 5 or 5 thousand you still lose. Anyway. By 11...

Saturday, May 28, 2005. Fog and 48 May. Hamilton, fog should be celebrated. Each year we miss huge tourism dollars by not enticing local and overseas visitors to experience the benefits of fog. Our city could have a new slogan: Hamilton where fog is your friend exclamation mark Or Hamilton seein’ aint everything exclamation mark Or Hamilton no smog just fog exclamation mark Or Hamilton - is it? Exclamation mark And my personal fav Hamilton don’t mist it exclamation mark. Posted by Honest Dave at 9:15 AM.
