Strawberries
Jane Austen quote of the day...
"Mr Knightley invites you to taste his strawberries....which are ripening fast"
Well, we found it funny. Katherine (Rach's sister from Newcastle, convinced she is the Bridget Jones of the North) certainly did. Might just have been her laugh that amused us. hmmm.
Anyway. not much to tell. Only updating blog as I am so fed up with working. Its Sunday afternoon for Pooh's sake. I'm having a well earned tea break before church (on projector, no doubt laptop will crash again).
Only done school and PhD this week. Apart from Wed night. Went to see Walk the Line with the Walkers. Was hilarious. Not the film (which was good, but only one funny scene with the shotguns) but the fact that by the end Alison was wearing her coat and Muppet gloves AND had Jon's coat over her knees (old lady style) and I was completely inside my fleece hoody cos it was soooooooo cold! After that we infiltrated the church Men's Beer Club, disguised as members of the Mothers Union. Amused myself drumming with straws, shredding labels and melting things when I got freaked out by all the adult conversation.
Reading: Persuasion (Austen) will hopefully make sense after watching the film, with Rach providing explanatory subtitles.
Watching: Walk the Line (good, not sure I should admit to Alison that I downloaded the OST tho) ...Emma (Austen) again with Rach on subtitles, and Katherine making outrageous plot predictions
Listening: Psalm Drummers, KT Tunstall and a bit of Clapton this afternoon.

God and Drums
I know, I know its been ages.
How fantastic is being able to praise God by hitting things?!?!?!?! Am still high from playing drums in church Sun eve, esp to Beautiful One and Garment of Praise. Was totally giving it some on the floor tom (well, Pete did say play it louder) and it was just the best thing ever to be able to worship like that. The whole service was just great. Didn't get all stressed about playing (too stressed about other stuff at start), but just felt God take over when playing and went with it. Chilled out about it being rough round the edges and not well linked and... and just 'praised him on the loud cymbals'!!
God also just totally sorted out the complete nightmare me and my AS had got me into. Never the way I think he should sort it out, but he does it soooo much better.
Right. need to finish phd target for the night and go bye-byes.
In the words of the mighty Tre....
Live Love
