...cooking and croquet and being busy...

...I just had a wonderful bank-holiday weekend, so I thought I'd share about it here. I never wanted this to be a daily log book, but I've felt I need to lighten the tone a little.

I had 3 different people over for meals, I love cooking! Veggieburgers, made with sweet potato and kidney beans, home-made pizza (in a frying pan) and pasta. All with fajita seasoning in there too!

We had a sleepover in the flat, I booked my plane tickets to Africa, went for two runs, and one SU camp meeting. Had several wanders around the West End of Glasgow, some in the sun, others in the rain!

Played rounders, went to see Pirates of the Carribean 3 with a sword and eye patch and ate pick n mix. Led Sunday School at church where we made smoothies and a rap. Shook a bucket at Ikea in aid of camp and then went to Somerfield (with my tremendous flatmates) in my dressing gown to buy wine and munchies.

All this was amazing, mixed in with some great quiet times with God, but the piece de resistance has to be CROQUET! My hidden talent, I discovered my competitive side....

...variety...

...so it's been a while.

Over the past few months I have learned:

• that the currency of Estonia is Kroons
• that I like Spiced Rooibos tea
• that children under five are NOT boring
• that a visa is not needed to go to South Africa
• that I need to trust Jesus when He says 'Take heart, I have overcome the world'
• that I speak like Yoda after a weekend of pure studying
• that pirate dancing can bring joy at ANY time
• some York ghost stories
• that my eyebrows and bedroom become untidy when I'm too busy
• to talk about myself 'appropriately'
• theories of groupwork
• lots of social work jargon
• that it's ok to not know all the answers, infact it's best

I think that'll do for just now!
