this morning i got to church for 7.15am so i could have an experiment on our new sound desk before everyone else turned up.  unfortunately no one did turn up until just before 8am.  which was a shame as i didn’t have a key.  oh well.

jane was singing and it was a small band and brian (above left) was an expert on the new sound desk so it all went well.  and jane sounded lovely so everyone was happy.  (that’s our pastor with the ball above).

after church we came home for some much needed lunch and then some wii mario cart (i am the absolute worstest)
