    Mmmmm. I agree with a lot of what I say too… I think it’ll just be my mobile switched off. You can always get me on the landline. Unless we’re out. Which we probably will be. But people used to manage without mobiles didn’t they so we should be ok. Also – I’m not sure [...]

    Ok. Here is something I’ve been thinking recently. Mainly because Sian thinks I’m addicted to my iPhone. I probably am. I check my Twitter far too much. I locked my Facebook App the other day so haven’t been on that for nearly 48 hours. It hurts. But also I noticed the other day that I [...]

    ThumbnailHello all. First – sorry this is so late – I kept meaning to write this but then thinking “I’ll get more time later” and then never actually got round to it… I would say the wait will be worth it but to be honest things have been crazy busy and I haven’t really given it [...]

    Evening all. I’m cutting it a bit fine bit fine on this one but have just checked and it doesn’t look as if I will be last. Ok then. Super power. Tricky one. So many to choose from. Seriously – there are loads. The Official Superhero Database lists over 100 super powers. So I’ve decided to [...]

    Ha ha – yeah – it’s a way of tracking back from one place to another… an automatic way of knowing when people link to you or reference you or similar.

    It happens automagically but I coded this theme and don’t remember putting anything about trackbacks in!

  • Andy Hoyland commented on the blog post Round 2.1: Best Of The Mr Men   4 months, 3 weeks ago · View

    Mister Mush has joined in too – and I think that is my first ever trackback on the site. I didn’t even know trackbacks worked…

    That’s right – it’s back. What do you mean “What’s Back?”?* It’s not been gone that long and back in the day it was, apart from Adam Perrott’s Vlog , the centre of the blogging universe. That’s right, it’s the blogenge. “Yay,” I hear you cry.** And I can’t think of a better way to start off [...]

    Yeah – also – it’s called “Home birth” – does it have to actually be at home or could she have had the baby at the church?

    The wedding was excellent.

    But John’s speech was too good so I did any impression of Smithie off Gavin and Stacey.

  • Andy Hoyland commented on the blog post PS – I Love You   4 months, 3 weeks ago · View

    I keep offering to pay you!

    Also… Glad you’ve learned the value of layer groups!

    About time.

  • Andy Hoyland commented on the blog post Officially the Best Man   4 months, 4 weeks ago · View

    Hmmm.

    I’ll be honest… “I suppose it would do” isn’t quite the reaction I was going for.

  • Andy Hoyland wrote a new blog post: Officially the Best Man   4 months, 4 weeks ago · View

    Howdy again. I just wanted to mention another great day in the lives of Hoylands that is coming up this Saturday – Jack and Nats are getting married (Susie – Did you know about the wedding? Jack sent a text round…) While I am very excited and looking forward to the day very much I [...]

    Didn’t you get the text?

    Sorry.

  • Andy Hoyland commented on the blog post Anna Begins   5 months ago · View

    You haven’t quite got the hang of this have you?

    You have to drop some letters to make it work properly…

    Blofficially would work. Or congratulog.

    Something like that.

  • Andy Hoyland wrote a new blog post: Anna Begins   5 months ago · View

    Hello all. Now – I know you will all know this but I thought it was about time the birth of Anna Lucy Margaret was announced on the blog. If you’ve been here recently you will probably have seen some of the images on Flickr. If you haven’t – have a look up at the [...]

  • Andy Hoyland wrote a new blog post: A Blessing   5 months, 2 weeks ago · View

    At the end of our Reader’s Days we have a few moments to kind of reflect on what we’ve done during the day and slow our thoughts and all that kind of stuff. A guy called Mick led our session this week and he used this great blessing by another guy called John O’Donnahue. I [...]

    Another great thing about working from home is the flexibility (I may have mentioned that before) – it gives me plenty of time to stop my work and focus on my music… as I have done briefly this morning.

  • Andy Hoyland commented on the blog post Going all holy and stuff…   5 months, 3 weeks ago · View

    Hi Huw! I’ve said this to Sian anyway – but I love the “I can change the mundanities of being a full-time mum into the excitement of being Jesus’ disciple”

    Brilliant stuff…

    Don’t worry about that. I’ve not even read it. Hope there are no swear words… my mum wouldn’t approve.

    Oh. Wait. She cheats in tests. She’d be fine with swearing.

    Sorry about the changes… caused by an upgrade I wasn’t really aware of doing (story of my life at the moment!) so the site wide feed is missing just now. Should be sorted shortly. In the mean time I’ve posted on my actual blog:

    This time it’s the Nowhere near weekly ethical debate

    Enjoy!
