I'm sleepy! Felt very naughty last night as I stayed up way way past my bed time. I'd preached at church (pretty well if I may say so!).. and needed to hang out after, so we toddled off to the pub for a bit of food and some decent company.

Accompanied by Kate (who I need to add had just watched an ENTIRE series of Twin Peaks, and was therefore in a very bizarre mood!), I headed home for tea. Ali joined us, and Krister (friend from Swden staying before an early flight back!), headed for a few hours kip. Alas when he woke up to leave at 4.20.. we were still chatting!

Was very good catch up time for which I'm very grateful.. but am now VERY tired! And can't leave for another wee while.. Yawwwwwwwnnnnnnnn...

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.

A Broadside: *plot spoiler* for Tory sympathisers

Today some alarming social equality data was released. It said what we all know: if you are poor, you have less opportunities in life. For every £100 a month less income than the median you start school one month behind developmentally. 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
