		<title>white dove</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday was Remembrance Day, or Veteran&#8217;s Day as it is known in the US. I chose to go and sing in the street in Kettering, Northants. I set my alarm on my &#8216;smart&#8217; phone for 11am, so as to be sure to observe the customary 2 minutes silence at that time. I glanced at my [...]]]></description>

		<title>remembering St John Fisher and the monstrous King Henry VIII</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On this day in 1535, the great John Fisher was beheaded at Tower Hill in London. He shares this feast day with his friend and fellow martyr, Thomas More.  They both forfeited their human lives for refusing to acknowledge Henry VIII&#8217;s claim to be Supreme Head of the Church in England and for upholding the Catholic Church&#8216;s dogma of papal [...]]]></description>

		<title>banality &amp; disaster</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning, I logged on to Facebook to see what was up. Half way down the news feed was a post from a journalist friend with a link to a live BBC news feed about a 8.8 earthquake in Japan. Clicking on the link I quickly discovered the enormity of the tragedy. Several minutes later I returned [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ash Wednesday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First day of Lent today. Went to mass this morning and had ashes smeared on my forehead. I have signed up for 40 days of no coffee or tea. Also no meat, cheese, alcohol or TV! Not for the first time I am aware that what I am denying myself is all stuff I&#8217;m better [...]]]></description>

		<title>my spiritual home</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why, in this city that never sleeps, do I always feel at home? I lived here for 9 years in the 80s but that was a long time ago. Still, now as then, I love this town and the way it seems to take me to its heart. Much has changed. Then it was cheaper, [...]]]></description>

		<title>not feeling great</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning finds me less than 100%. Nonetheless, I am able to perform various tasks. In fact the more I do, the less I dwell on how half-assed I feel! So I will not bore you with the details, but carry on doing the deeds with gusto, until I can no longer stay awake. By [...]]]></description>

		<title>I don&#8217;t want to die here</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night, over a most enjoyable dinner, some of us fell to talking about plans to find somewhere else to live. Our outlooks and intended courses of action were quite varied, but our motivation and reasons for thinking this way were very similar. At different times, two of us said, &#8220;I dont want to die in&#8230;.&#8221;, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Maud</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Maud is the name coined by my son for our recently purchased car. Maud is an automatic diesel Mercedes, and is a dream come true. In these dire times it may seem both foolhardy and a little sick to covet and own such a thing. Like many people, despite serious reservations, I have accepted that for [...]]]></description>

		<title>to drink or not to drink</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Throughout my life, it is music that has been my number one preoccupation. However during some periods of my life, drink has run a close second. Since I was a teenager, I have had a long and turbulent relationship with the demon alcohol. My family moved to Cambridge in 1967, the summer of love(!). At [...]]]></description>
