The Curiosity Index: Week 50


Welcome to the weekend (and hopefully you’re reading this at the weekend unlike last week).

This week has continued to be tricky for running with icy paths so I’m slowly starting to get into some winter strength training. I don’t like gyms but I’m slowly beginning to not hate them. It has also featured repairing a leaky dishwasher, buying more Christmas presents, getting on top of my inbox, more planning for 2025 and finishing listening to the magical and slightly weird Piranesi ((Affiliate link)

Tomorrow is our Christmas service at Grace Church with the theme of Light Has Come.

Perhaps we should not be so quick to put volcanoes or earthquakes in the ‘evil’ category for without them we wouldn’t be here. God it seems, knew exactly what he was doing when he made them.

Thank God for volcanoes and earthquakes
