Eternal Refuge

Saw a friend from my Bible Study group as I walked into work.  I have been unable to go recently due to ill-health.  So it was good to saa her - even better to confirm the times (etc) for our day trip next Monday.  An early start - but it will be worth it!

Legoland!

........... Ends (well what other word did you expect!!)

Just a fly-past update as there is not much to say, but feel I have neglected my scribble again ... sorry folks, skip, or suffer!


          #  Went to Bible Study last night - I find it fascinating to both study more of God's Word, but also to learn something of Filipino heritage.  I was learning that traditionally spaghetti is served at a birthday party, and the birthday girl/guy must not cut or bite the long strands, but suck it up ... otherwise their life is cut short.  Great to learn of other superstitians etc.

          #  Sadly, also heard from one of the girls (who is 39 weeks pregnant) that her cousin died in child-birth last week (along with the child) ... seems sad to think this still happens in the 21st century.

          #  Was doing some more icons and found that my main BtVS source had been taken down.  I contacted the "owner" of the site, who looked into it and was told no-one used them, so they had been removed.  So either I am a nobody ... or just need to drool over.... ummmm study Spike more.

          #  Had a weird dream (twice) last night - I was being given a tattoo on my left hip ... and told it would disappear in 2 years, as I wouldn't need it then.  Still tatt free, and no thoughts or plans - where does my subconsciou go?

          #   Mum sees the eye specialist again today to know, finally, whether he will be able to return any of her sight to her.  It has been a  long 18 months.

          #  Well 30 day photo meme is up, now I have to decide on a Cary Grant film.  I am enjoying watching and thinking about this set.  I love him as an actor ... so it has made the choice hard to decide on just 10 ... maybe some of the missing films will end up in another section later.


Well, that's me - must get on and then hopefully will have time for a walk before ironing and then work.  Hope you are all having a fun day.

No, we didn't re-enact a Bible story, we had our study on the beach at Budleigh Salterton.

A stoney beach (ooooooops, no camera pics), and there were about 20 adults and 6 kids.  Our study lasts about 2 hours - so although I took a blouse to wear over my top, I still cooked.

One positive point is that it is great to still be able to gather a group of people together and read The Bible ... not all countries allow that.  So that is one great thing about England.

(Must have looked slighty weird though to see - especially as I am the only non-Filipino in the group)

As I was leaving Bible Syudy this evening Ana (who basically organises it) asked me to do the study in 2 weeks time.

Panic!

Not just the fact that I have never done anything like this - never had the oppertunity.  So, it is great that I have been asked (I say being positive!)

Panic #2 ..... I have to think of a topic/theme.

I know that I will think of something - I have the FAITh to know that I will be "OK on the night" ... but my initial feelings were of the hate of being the one "on show".  It's another step, however, in putting the bullying behind me.

Annemarie left a week ago and what have I got to show for it?  Not much.

Still Dad is doing well, and feeling more relaxed.  Mum is slowly feeling better, as well.  Having Dad ill really "mucked" up her healing, but that seems to be slowly progressing.  I spoke to them both yesterday, and will tomorrow as they both have doctors appointments.  Jiffy has also been to the "doctors" as his skin is sore again.  I personally think he was just jealous of eveyone else!

In the last few days of my holiday last week I didn't get much done - spending time at hospital took some time, and I had actually got sun-burnt on Tuesday.  I had been in Exeter Cathedral with Claire for a couple of hours (pics to follow) .... then as I drove home I had the car window open ... and 1/2 hour later (ouch!)

On Saturday I got some gardening done for Mum & Dad and hope to get some done over the next long weekend (when not sitting in front of the TV waving my Union Flag!

Then back to work ... and it's as if I hadn't been away!  Trouble was the spare time over the last couple of days has been washing and ironing.  I had hoped to post this last night but went to Bible Study (a group I have just joined, mostly people from work, of which the rest are Philipino) ... and one had bad news over the weekend so things got extended.  So I was late for the right reasons!

Now today - I have got washing on, bread machine on and done a bit of decorating.  I now have to go out to collect some chaires for my garden that Tim & Claire have given me.

I haven't forgotten my 100 meme and will get back to that hopefully tomorrow!

On a positive note I am re-watching Vampire Diaries from the beginning and falling in love with Damon all over again (points to icon!) ... and now my Media Player is playing some good songs.

So - have I missed anything.  I won't be able to scroll back otherwise I shall get sidetracked!  So please point me in the right direction.  I shall go back this evening and answer comments .... Hope you have all had a great week.

*hugs*
