I cannot believe that I am up and posting by 7.30am it must be a new personal record!

This morning I have discovered some important information that I feel I should share with you all:

Light brown sugar does not taste the same when put in tea as white raw cane sugar. To be quite honest it tastes really rather minging. It does however reduce the want for tea which could be a good thing (though I do already have decaf) but it could also be a bad thing if I get grumpy (without the compulsory 3 cups each morning!). I have also discovered that you should not use any kind of sugar that claimsa to be better for you because the aftertaste is quite horrific! Just have tea with normal white raw cane sugar - for the sake of the children!

Anyway now I've got that out of my system! Today is the first Discovery of the term which is really rather exciting. We had the first Supergang last night which was really good - around 15 came along and we did some games and looked at the rules for this term. I am really encouraged by the team we have working there and hope to have myself out of a job in that group by February (though the thought of becoming a skivvy and doing the wasking up is one that I find quite horrific!). Also did some shopping for the dinner party tomorrow which I'm now very excitied about! Making the chocolate truffle torte today, everything else will be bought and cooked on the day (then there is no need to worry about storage or anything like that!).

Beginning the series looking at the bible on Sunday in Sunday School (so this week how the bible is like a cookery book, a mirror, a novel, a history book, a love story etc.) which I find very exciting - I always seem to learn stuff being with these kids - and I have even sorted out Suzie's visit (from Christian Aid) including groups, accomadation and food! All in all not doing too bad, apart from this quite horrific cup of tea! Must drink it though and have some breakfast! God Bless...
