So its been a while..

You join me kind of slumped on a sofa in the telly room. I'm about to indulge my new found TV obsession: Grand Designs. Its quite nice to escape into beautiful new designs when you live somewhere that is quiet asthetically challenging.

So what can I say: new things that have been happening.

I went to Leeds again to look round my new house and to do a bit of planning. All looking good so far: though there is a challenge to not get caught into the material stuff of it all!

What else: I'm deep in the midst of a long essay on 1 Corinthians.. all about the body and how they viewed it.. its all quite fun.

I'm looking forward to the Easter Break- good chance to catch up on sleep and stuff. Then once rested I'm off to ECG to do some prayer room stuff and the like.

And thats about it- apart from being a bit injured/ ill.. am hoping to get body fixed next week so..

More soon!

So how about we get George to go on Grand Designs with his ideas about college? Can you see Kevin's face?

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

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
