away on residential

I seem to have been away a lot recently, without having been away at all.  I've been writing an essay (felt more like a novel) for my theology course, for which I've spent lots of time on the web and in second life, and lots of time writing. No sooner was that done, dusted and printed, toddled I off to Ushaw College (all of a quarter of a mile up the road, so not very 'away') -the catholic seminary now making ends meet with conferences and a lot of work for the diocese- for the midway point residential for my theology class. Slightly trepidatious, I confess, as it was exploring creativity in spirituality and theology (with Revd. Robert Cooper , diocesan chaplain to the arts), and my right-brain activity is somewhat limited! Anyway, it was fab, if tiring. Great conference, better than trying to fit in the other Durham colleges, and amazing grounds, views and buildings. One of the main activities was exploring and photographing things, taking into account the reason you took the shot. To be fair, I and everyone else took a minimum of 50 that were just pics, but I've uploaded some of the ones I took to flickr . now I've got my essay out of the way, with any luck I'll have time to be blogging again, and perhaps even start getting my entries out of here. Continued apologies for the dreadful look in the meantime!
