Counting down the days

If (like me) you still haven't exhausted your annual desire for calendars, but fear that all that is left in the shops is less appealing than "2006 in Braille", "Corporate policy documents of 2006" or "The year ahead, Britney's behind", all is not lost!

Dave Walker has again published, completely free, his Cartoon calendar for you to print out yourself.

I'm not sure if it is quite as funny as last year's, but it may be because I've seen most of the cartoons in it already. The orange juice instructional month was particularly effective, and has actually changed my life. In a small way.

N.B. Since I wrote my previous post about Flickr, I have become one of a sad breed who log in regularly to check the latest 'views' count and 'comments'* which people may have made on my pictures. Feel free to have a good look through my photos, and comment on ones which interest you for any reason.

I continue to upload my more arty and interesting photos from the vast vat of old ones on my computer, in the hope that I may, some day, achieve the "Explore Interesting Photos" page which Flickr compiles every day. I don't know how they calculate it, but it seems like a reasonable life ambition.

* Here seems as good a place as any to say that, while leafing through the Wesley Owen catalogue, among the range of Marketable Christian Products**, Joyce Meyer's book, 'Approval Addiction' (presumably how this is not a good thing), was noted as "climbing to #2 in the charts". Irony on a stick, anyone?

** Seriously now, am I too cynical for my own good? But seeing the cover advertising yet another Matt Redman product milking the "Blessed be your name" title, set me off feeling like virtually everything in the WO brochure is glossy Christianity - just enough humility to be trendy, but not so much as to hinder the sales or upset anyone enough to really change lifestyles.
