I didn't realise, but it's been a whole week since I wrote my last post - oops, better take me out back & shoot me !! It's not like I've been overly active or anything, just been lazy I guess. Onwards........
Ok - it's Tuesday, it's really sunny outside, been a bit cold overnight.... I was woken to my neighbours outside, scraping the ice off their various cars.... but it's a lovely day now. I can't quite see the coast today, a little bit misty over that ways.
At the moment I'm here alone. B has just gone out to her St John course - today is the last one of those - J is at work, at the college & ME is at work placement, at the hospital in Bristol. She (ME) has a 12 day stint at the moment - starting yesterday, she has 12 days without a break..... she is enjoying her placement - just not the people she has to work with. She likes the patients, not the staff !! I guess that's the same in any job - some you like, some you don't !!
It was J's 22nd birthday on Sunday.... where has the time gone ? One of the girls at Church, on Sunday, said she'll be 14 next birthday - we didn't realise....... over the last 3 years we've seen her grow up & didn't realise how the years have gone by !! We put on a 'cold tea' & everybody tucked in....... ME's boyfriend came over, so it was a good time.
We went to Church on Sunday..... it was great fun !! To start with, no one was there to play the organ/piano. That meant one of the ladies had to lead the singing from the front..... very 'Vicar Of Dibley' !! It wouldn't of been so bad - but nobody said anything.... we were all waiting for the organ & all at once, we were sort of singing !! Chaos theory at it's best.....
To make things even worse - somebody forgot to do the Sacrament bread !! People were running around trying to sort it out & Bishop was just left to hold his head in his hands - as I said to him as we left, "Great fun !" It just goes to show, even the best laid plans can fall apart !! Made for an interesting day tho'.......
I'm really going to sound nasty now......... One of the main things in The Church, is that we're a family - that we welcome everybody into the family & that children learn from their parents. The way we raise our children is a responsibility we must take seriously. On Sunday, I had to leave the Chapel - the children in front of me were being such 'pests' that I couldn't stand/sit thru' it any longer... so I went outside for a few minutes to calm down.
What made it worse, their parents were sat there with them & did nothing to stop them from playing up - spoiling it, the service, for not only those sat behind them - but from comments made - those sat in front as well !! These are children, one of which is at secondary school - who are not young, just out of control & spoiling things for those around them !! Oh I am evil..... no, just fed up with parents who preach one thing & then forget about what they preach when it comes to their own kids !!
Tho' - maybe I'm a little evil...........
Oh, the Internet made me go "Wow" again last night. I e-mailed a lady I know at the Allman's office & within a few minutes I had a reply..... how cool is that !! I'm here in my little room in the UK & she is in her office in the USA ..... I've said it before, but to get a message to someone - without using a phone - only 30 years ago, over that distance would of taken a least the best part of a week by letter, let alone a reply !! Embrace the net good people..... unlike me, it's not all evil !!
The music of the moment has been by John Foggerty - I will be playing Gary Moore tapes shortly, another good musician who has been taken from us - but for now, I'm away !!
Bye Bye
