hello. i was meant to be meeting someone for a breakfast meeting this morning at 9am. it was all nicely organised so i could go there on the way to work. i still got my normal bus though as if i go any later ii don’t get ‘a park’ (ie ‘a parking space’).
so i arrived 90 minutes early and ordered a hot chocolate in a bowl. just as i sat down i checked my blackberry and found my meeting had been cancelled. so i sat and enjoyed my hot chocolate instead.
i chucked my chocolate fish in the drink for no real reason (actually i was curious to see whether it floated- it didn’t). but it did taste fab in a half melted way
i also passed this rather great sign for Ba Na Na on the way to my office. my second meeting of the day was also a no show as the person running it forgot to dial me in. but that was all good as i got to spend more time doing the thing i was meant to be doing.
here’s a house door number sign near my office.
this evening i went to the church men’s group which was about Genesis 1 – ie creation etc. The message was that God said ‘it was good’ after each day/time period of busy creatingness. and it’s still essentially good , so we should look to see things which give us a glimpse of God as we look around the world.
Examples given included fab music, the sunset over poo lake (that was my example) and even amazing football games. i’d add lost dummies and bollards to the list. so there you go. it’s a 4-parter, so it’ll be interesting to see what the next session is about !
finally the most excellent news of the day is esther did fantastic in her literature competition thing. i’m not entirely sure i understand what it was, but her team won some prize and were the only year 6 team to win anything so that was excellent. she was very pleased. and so are all of us.
and jane’s had a haircut. she’s not sure if it makes her look funky or frumpy. perhaps the hairdresser misheard ? I think it looks very nice. photo of that for another day (or via Skype for those that like real time conversations)
sorry that’s so ramblesome. long day
