Right, I can’t hang around here, this is my first Sunday ministering alongside our new Deacon. A new era dawns.

“You boy! What is the Government’s majority down to this afternoon?”

Donald Trump seeks advice from an old friend as the Stormy Daniels hush money trial gets underway.

Amidst all the stresses and strains of the world, as amplified and concentrated into a Twitter feed, know that there is a young couple getting married this afternoon in Rye - it will be a joyful occasion!

Fr Paul ✠ I was wondering if you would consider sharing and/or donating to my donation page. I have been on the emergency waiting list for a hysterectomy for 2 years, and am constantly hospitalised for pain. #endometriosis #brokenbritain #torysout gofund.me/823c3fca

My son’s school has a ‘rat area’ in the playground and, evidently, they are getting much more populous and braver, not least as the boys feed them.

Playing with the rats at school feels both pre-modern and post-apocalypse… 🐀 🐀 🐀

Had an interesting life experience last night.

I went to a great service to see one of my friends be installed as the new vicar in Lydd. Hundreds of people and dozens of priests. A great and heartening event.

However, of the priests, there were the young bubbly ones coming…

I don't think they understand what rhetorical means...

Rishi: 'Chris, you need to do Question Time tonight. You're one of the few not yet suspended and we are desperate.'

CP: 'No problem, boss. What's the worst that can happen? What's Question Time again?'

Just hangin' with the Rye massive...

Right, I am about to leave the Sussex land of Bishop Martin and cross into the Kentish land of Bishop Rose, for another licensing service.

Non-church folk cross that border every day without a clue...

BOOM.

Looks like I will be conducting my first Hells Angels wedding in July.

Something new every day!

I'm really ready for a few months of heatwaves and droughts now...

I thought we were moving defence spending onto a 'war footing'?

Turns out that 2.5% is a target to be reached by 2030.

6 years was the length of the whole Second World War.

Is it urgent or not?

Tomorrow's sermon conclusion:

'...each of us been given unique gifts by God, and each of us is a unique gift from God to the world.'

If you are having a bad day at the office just be grateful that it wasn't you in charge of the horses which just ran through central London.

And, if it was you, best of luck!

Big day for St Mary's: Our Diocesan Bishop is visiting tonight to license our new Curate and Deacon.

Polish and dust everything!
