This month has turned out to be a pretty busy one for various reasons! We were quite grateful to have a bit of a break on Friday night actually – there was 21, but instead of having our usual meeting some of us were watching the England football match. I didn’t see the previous England…

This weekend was a very special weekend. Phil’s sister Roz – my sister-in-law – was getting married! Phil travelled downon Wednesday night to help set up. I stayed in Colchester for a couple of nights and then headed down on Friday morning. I will spare you most of the details but suffice it to say…

Cooling down – something I’ve felt like I needed to do a fair bit of the past few days! It’s got warm – and not just warm, but muggy. (Well, it was warm at least, before all the rain we’ve had the past couple of days…) It was half-term last week, so no 21 for…

So, last weekend was the second of the two May bank holiday weekends. It was a pretty good weekend as they go, it felt like we got a fair bit done! On Friday evening we had 21 as per usual, but then there was no Ashes to Ashes afterwards 🙁 We did spend an hour…

At the moment I’m reading a book called “Transforming Grace” by Jerry Bridges. I’m only a couple of chapters in but I’ve already found it really helpful. I’ll write a proper review of it when I finish it, but I just wanted to mention for now one thing which has struck me. It struck me…

Well, it’s over. After watching this series pretty much obsessively for the past couple of months, Ashes to Ashes is finally finished. And what an ending. I’m not going to give anything away on this blog, but suffice it to say I was very happy. Some of “our” (read: Anne-Marie’s) theories were even correct! So…

This weekend was fairly relaxing, as weekends go, although I think we were both pretty tired: obviously needed a break! On Friday night we had 21 as per usual. I was doing the talk, on Malachi 1. I think it went down well – I’m beginning to get to the stage where I find I…

Well, the general election results are in (which you will already know about if you’re in England and haven’t had your head buried under a rock). It’s going to be a Conservative / Lib Dem coalition government (a “ConDem” government, if you will, which will make this country a ConDemNation…) I think this is a…

… that pretty much describes our Friday night: at 21, we were studying Haggai. Laura dressed up as Haggai, in something which was meant to look a bit like sackcloth, and did the talk in character. I think the kids really enjoyed it! – and there were less of them this week, so it wasn’t…

This reminds me of an old Dilbert cartoon. The usual gang discover that the boss has died sometime on Thursday afternoon. Wally’s reaction? “Three day weekend!” Well, this time the three day weekend was due to a bank holiday. No-one has died (no-one who I know, anyway). It was a nice one, too! On Friday…
