Maybe this is why I don’t have a photo of myself on the blog Friends regularly voted me as having one of the worst profile photos on Facebook, hence why I use my daughter’s chalk drawing of me there and here! Not that I’m suggesting you should do the same, Dave …

Now I am really hurt. My ego can’t take any more! That photo beautifully reflects who I am on the inside Inside this tubby, old body is a young, slim, tall superman trying to get out. Just a pity the keys were thrown away a long time ago.

Yes, Dave, the other Dave doesn’t look like the photo on his blog, as I found out at the UK Methodist bloggers’ meeting we had in Birmingham. I do wish he would change the photo! Is it a deliberate ruse to make us think of you as taller and slimmer, Dave W?

I think it’s because your face looks thinner in that blog photo. Maybe it’s the angle it’s taken from.

I note WordPress has assigned you an avatar here of someone looking miserable!

Thanks, Phil, I’m sure you’re right. The Chelmsford Diocesan Resources Centre rises to the challenge by the quality of advice, knowledge and service by the woman who runs it. They are in one small room, carry very little stock, but Jo the manager is priceless. She has put me onto titles I wouldn’t have found in an ‘ordinary’ Christian bookshop and wouldn’t have known to look for on Amazon. Particularly she has done this w.r.t. school assembly material. When I arrived in Chelmsford, all the local ministers I spoke to, of whatever theological hue, recommended this place.

“an idea of him as taller and thinner than he is. “

I still have the same idea about myself

Hey – you beat me to it! My CBC/CRE blog post is still in the draft stage. As for Amazon — us booksellers need to stop moaning and rise to the challenge.
