Bit pink

In Ibiza.

So much to say.. am having a great time.  Have done the obligatory club night.. Amnesia.  Have sat in the sun and drunk cocktails.  Have watched the sun go down in what can only be described as a postmodern worship experience.  Have laughed lots.   Have gone freckly. Have prayer walked. Have realised that in all  of the short term stuff I have done this is the only one I could get a bug for.  Maybe its the relational  thing or that its quite easy to feel compassion for the very young holiday makers who are so lost and hurting and broken.

Haven't quite worked out any things for what happens next at home... maybe the plane ios what that is for???

So much more to say..

More on return.. Wednesday..

What do I enjoy doing? What gives me joy? Leave me a comment.

Your vocabulary aged 5 is half what it is for a rich kid if you are in the bottom ten percent of income. Housing tenure stats are even worse. "Only 4 per cent of those of working age living in social housing have degrees, and nearly half have no or only low qualifications. Only half of men and 42 per cent of women of working age living in social housing are in paid work, compared with 89 per cent of men and 81 per cent of women in households with a mortgage." Social housing: by its nature, is grouped (london people ignore this, you are the freaks not the norm). That means that we have allowed ghettoes of poverty and low attainment (not just in a SATS way either). Now it would be easy, and some daft Tory has already done it, to pin this on
