Every Christmas and Easter people tell me that it is the busiest time of my year. Which, in some ways, it is. But we shouldn't define ourselves or measure our importance by how busy we are. Some are addicted to busyness. I may tell people that it is my most prayerful time...

On Facebook I see ridiculous posts from relatives. On Twitter I see ridiculous posts from strangers. That's my insight into social media today.

Last night I dreamt that I was trying to get Bernard Cribbins cast into lots of inappropriate TV shows. Other than that Holy Week is going well. Maundy Thursday today. Bare feet in church day.

The Easter sermon is coming along: "Groucho Marx once said that he wouldn’t join any club that would have him as a member. I wouldn’t be interested in any faith so small that I could understand it."

Dear BBC News (UK) - if you are going to use titles it is not ‘Dr Stephen Cottrell’ but ‘Right Reverend Dr Stephen Cottrell’. The BBC should know how to refer to a bishop!

The cross is empty. The tomb is empty. Because Jesus is Risen! Alleluia!

Prayers for Pope Francis, for my Catholic sisters and brothers and for the whole church at this time.

Perhaps we should abolish the Crown Nominations Committee and convene a conclave of bishops to choose a new Archbishop of Canterbury?

Last night I helmed the Rye Harbour lifeboat for the first time and took it from Hastings back to Rye. It was a blast. As I left I said that I was in trouble with my wife for being late. They said ‘Welcome to being on the lifeboats.’ #RNLI

I was just wondering what job I had to do next, when I remembered it is my day off. Which was nice...

The good thing about cycling is that there are not loads of expensive gadgets to buy. Said no one ever...

If Trump loves tariffs so much, why is he worried about Amazon saying how much they are costing consumers?

With the sun shining I thought I might get a new barbecue this year. I had a look at the Big Green Eggs. Blinkin' flip...

Is the Rotary Club like the Freemasons, but without the conspiracy theories?

How sad do you have to be to think that life will get better if only we could be a bit nastier to minorities and foreigners...

Right-wingers on Twitter: "We want this to be a Christian country again!" Priests: "Love your neighbours." Right-wingers: "Left-tard!"

Pope Francis died on 21 April and the conclave to elect the new Pope starts today. Hopefully it will be done within days. The Archbishop of Canterbury stepped down five months ago and we could still be months away from an appointment...

The protestant reaction to medieval Marian veneration turned into an over-reaction of Marian denial. IMHO protestants need to 're-discover' the Mary in the bible - highly favoured by God, called blessed for all generations, with Jesus from beginning to end, at Pentecost etc.

Can't sit around here shooting the breeze about Our Lady - better go and say morning prayer.

I wonder which world leader fancies going to the Oval Office next, so they can be ambushed and embarrassed live on TV...
