It's a year since I started putting photos on my blog! WOW! Only problem is I lost loads of the old ones when the server packed in :( Hopefully they'll be restored when I get back to Loughborough next weekend!

Well it's not long now to my next Feeder outing (which I have to admit I am jolly exicited about) and it has been the thought of 'moshing out' to my favourite songs that has kept me going during this rather long feeling week! Been doing all sorts of things including updates of Soul Exeter (www.soulexeter.co.uk) and Dawlish Impact (www.dawlishimpact.co.uk), both of which I'm happy with though Soul Exeter will have a bit more of a change going into the new year.

Also been looking at Open University over the last week at an 'Understanding Media' course which has really grabbed my attention. It looks like something I'd be interested in (I have always loved looking at the media) and I have the training time to do it now as well (well kind of anyway!). Got Hockey today at Westex against the Hornets B team (we beat their C team with 9 players) which will be a really tough game so that's cool and there's all sorts of other great stuff happening too like a visit from Nadine tomorrow, St.Andrew's Day on Wednesday, and back to Loughborough for a few days next Saturday (hurrah!).

Anyhoo I'd better go, all sorts of stuff I meant to be doing. God Bless...

We will remember them.

Am sitting still with beechams in hand, hoping that this dreadful 'mingingness' will soon depart from me! I don't think it helped playing hockey in the rain on Saturday, we also lost 3-0 which wasn't hugely encouraging - though I didn't play too badly (got in some good tackles and even kept the pace for most of the game!). Was meant to be going to conference today but due to a prayer meeting for Soul Exeter tonight am not! It means the only bit of conference I am at is on Wednesday morning - I was told I could stay wed night but then I would have missed the hockey practice (and may have passed on my flu!)!!.

Anyhow, all that boils down to me doing some serious work this morning writing some monologues for a Christmas service based around Mary's journey through the Christmas story. Should be a nice little service if I can get it all done. Also want to sort out promo vid for Soul Exeter using Delirious' Paint the town red (which you can buy from iTunes) and re-edit the Impact team vid (especially the sound channels and some of the effects).

Got fun coming up this week, prayer meeting tonight, visit the council at some point to prove I exist for Council Tax benefits, conference, crusaders & hockey on Wednesday, a special team meeting with Jo on Thursday at Finlake, CU and the hoswt of St. Gregs clubs on Friday, and the Soul Exeter celebration on Saturday! It's quite awesome!! Hope you have a good week yourselves. God Bless...

No rest for the snotty! Got flu and I'm still going - oh well sometimes you need some fun!

Just updated Dawlish Impact (DawlishImpact.co.uk) and have been doing some designing work during the morning (my favourite thing to do). Have been doing some logo and poster work for a trial group we're doing at the church called J2G (shockingly similar to J2O) and trying to get a better poster design for Soul Exeter Celebrations which I believe I have now achieved.

Off to Exeter this afternoon for the College CU, then back to lead bible study and youth cafe (see what I mean about this no rest business!). Had loads of meetings in the past week which has been dreadfully weary! I am not a meetings person (at least I now know this for definate)! Went to Cluster on wednesday (I was grotty but it was in my lounge so I sat there sniffling!) and have been listening to lots of new music on Napster!

Normandy trip was fantastic, was really good to spend time with young people, staff and vetrans and the whole thing was a mighty success. Was very interesting having history coming to life and the vertrans own recounts made the whole thing very moving for the young people. Have got a shed load of video editing to do now though!

Wales was also grand, Nadine, Ania and Remik were great people to spend a few days with and we went to Aberstywth and Swansea which was lovely. Made me feel a lot more chilled (though I picked up the nasty flu I now have somewhere along the line!).

Finally the flat is now tidy - one of the benefits of being ill. It wasn't that it was messy before (well apart from my bedroom) but now it's sparkling! Anyhow Bible Studies to prepare, finances to sort, train journeys to take! God Bless...
