Oh hi remnants of twitter. I'm back from holiday to find these on my desk. All available now. Also don't forget our amazing bargainous summer sale which ends very soon .. scmpress.co.uk

Step out of the office to discover that while I've been accumulating jobs on my post-holiday to-do list, Root has been accumulating runs. In different ways, productive days for us both #bbccricket

If you've not yet watched Freddie Flintoff's Field of Dreams you must - both the series are amazing. And tbh it's not really about cricket. Well, it is, but it's also about class, masculinity, and mental health. Incredible telly, especially season 2. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

The last few hours of the summer sale! It ends today! For many* people the end of our sale is the only true sign that the summer hols are ending. Go to scmpress.co.uk, or canterburypress.co.uk and get your bargain on. *Some. Possibly.

The penny dropping for Susan in the Archers and now Surrey seemingly about to stuff up another T20 blast at the crucial moment. Roller coaster of an evening.

Never in doubt. Good evening's work in the end for both Surrey County Cricket Club and Susan Carter.

Hi Musky place. I've been asked what book I want for my birthday. I like all sorts, but particularly page turners with a bit of atmosphere - Mick Heron etc. And given the day job, something light and escapist is appreciated. Non fiction wise, I like social history. Any ideas?

📢Biblical scholars...here's some news for a Monday morning. New SCM Press Series in Biblical Intertextuality. Details coming soon, along with a call for book proposals.

"God is Angry at Complaining". The message in the kids Bible notes this eve received...how to put this... *quite* a lot of pushback from me.

This was (I think) more or less my first commission for Canterbury Press. Paul Bradbury takes us on a lovely, lyrical journey through the past, present and future of the church - from rural Norfolk to inner-city London. Available via canterburypress.co.uk

It turns out I don't think this at all. Flippin' Somerset. *Waves fist*

Looking forward to #fofpreaching in a couple of days, which colleagues have been working very hard for many months to get ready. Some cracking speakers - and jazz vespers on my birthday is just 👌 I'll be there Monday and Tuesday to help out, wave if you're there too 👋

Absolutely delighted to be reminded today that our House Style Guide contains a section for 'Papal edicts'

Made it to @fofpreaching. Guli Francis-Dehqani speaking now. "We are as a church so caught up in our own anxiety...we try so hard to scramble out of our situation that we don't stop to think whether God might have something to say to us in these very circumstances".

Amy-Jill Levine now helping us (hilariously) to think about preaching the parables: "listen to the weird stuff. If it sounds weird to you, it probably is" Festival_Preaching

Now hearing from Chris Russell. "The gospel isn't a product...the Good News is a person". @fofpreaching

Now jazz Vespers. Perfectly timed to mark my birthday 👌🎷🔥Festival_Preaching
