Post 150

This is the 150th post on this blog. Perhaps I should have a party.

This blog is bit like my life, full of fits and starts. Sometimes I blog for days on end and sometimes I just leave it.

Well, this has been a strange week, when we have been saying farewell to Audrey's mother, Alice Brennand. The funeral was on Wednesday and there was a memorial service yesterday. Today we have to pick ourselves up and move on.

What a post-modern cliche that phrase has become: "I've moved on." What it really means is: "I'm leaving you with all this mess so I can go and do what I want." It is individualism contracted into a few words.

And guess who's picking up the pieces? That's right, the Christian church.
