Is it just me, or has the world gone a bit election mad? I’m getting fed up of the election to be honest. Part of the issue is that I genuinely can’t decide who to vote for. Not that my vote would make much difference: I live in a fairly safe lib dem constituency, so…

Yep, this weekend was indeed a weekend of firsts. To an extent. I shall start with Friday lunchtime: I bought my first ice-cream of this year from an ice-cream van! It was such a beautiful day, it felt right. Then, I came back home to find that Matthew, Ellie and Samuel had arrived. It was…

That was probably was one of the most cryptic titles I’ve come up with to date! It’s due to the fact that on Saturday, Phil and I went back to the house in Woodbridge where I spent most of my formative years. (Well, I wasn’t there the whole time, but that’s where we were living).…

I mentioned briefly in my last post that I had ordered a new PA system. Well, it arrived yesterday. In a huge great big package, on a palette! (A palette, for those of you who don’t know, is basically a wooden base which big packages can be strapped to so they can be more easily…

… so goes the song ‘Holiday’ by Vampire Weekend. Well, we’ve just had a week’s holiday (technically a bit more than that, because of the Easter Weekend), so I suppose I should briefly sketch out the details of what we’ve been up to! I can’t remember everything so just a fairly broad overview: On Easter…

Just to update on my TYSIC challenge (can’t be bothered to link back here)… I’ve been continuing on with it for the past week or so. I’ve now started to post updates on the actual site so you can find me there. I probably won’t update much about it here from now on 😉

Well, the Moore Course is all over for another year few months (they usually run from October / November until March / April). I have to say I’m glad to see the back of it this year – not that I haven’t enjoyed the course, but working all day and then coming back home to…

… when I say that, I don’t mean that I have any problem with the content of Ephesians. It’s just getting to the stage where I want the exam to be over already! Maybe then I could get my evenings back. Still. We haven’t been up to much over the past few days – the…

Just a very quick update on TYSIC. I’ve been doing well the past couple of days, I’ve spent some time practicing slowly. I’m still finding it difficult to force myself to actually practice things at a slow speed and ensure they’re perfect, but I think I’m doing better than I was. I started learning the…

Another quick update about the weekend. On Friday night we helped out at 21, which was mostly preparing for the youth service on Sunday night. Then on Saturday we did some shopping in the morning, followed by some Moore Course revision in the afternoon (the exam is on 27th, so just under two weeks left…
