G8, Live8, Boiler mate

Hello

Just a quick one.. first a job seekers update: I've now spent, £13.40. We had a meal out ala pub as part of the boiler retreat, and I bought the Guardian yesterday. The weekend was pretty cheap- wedding= free food, free lunch of Sunday.. the rest ios finishing off whats in the fridge (bought a while ago using spare change). Am off to Edinburgh tomorrow so will see how that goes.

Talking of which: I fly up tomorrow early, so have a whole day to try and get arrested.. though its a risk cos I want to be released as we've got tickets for the final Live8 gig. Am very excited to find Embrace on the bill! Also will be good to see Snow Patrol, and the amazing James Brown!

Just got back from a wonderful two days with other Boiler room leaders from around the world. It was amazing!!! For a start it was at Turvey Abbey: one of my favourite places in the world. Was lovely to see Brs Tom, John and Herbert.. great to be at Compline. Will blog more about the profound realisation from Tom's reading. Was lovely to see an interaction between us novices and the old guard! Was great to pray and be prayed for... was great to get a flying visit from the boys... just lovely..

Remembering What I Enjoy..

Occasionally I forget things. Some stuff like birthdays, names and stuff is a normal human thing, and I don't sweat it so much. But I also forget some other stuff which is not so good. I forget what I enjoy. I don't know how it happens but it does from time to time. And its at these moments that I need a bit of help remembering. So- this is a request for help. What do I enjoy doing? What gives me joy? Leave me a comment.

Who will rid me of this meddlesome...

... piano? It occurred to me yesterday as i nursed ANOTHER bruise on my arm.. that I have had a piano sat in my hallway for 2 months! It seemed like such a good idea at the time but apparently is not... its stuck there and everytime I walk down my hall I have to squeeze past the darn thing- often not successfully! A number of options lie before me: -chop the thing into several hundred pieces -find lots of people who want to move it.. to where I'm not sure -sell it -give it away -pray it away It goes next weekend.. even if it kills me... which it might.. hummm
