Barn weekend number 4
What can I say? A receipe for happines:
Take one barn and 20 quality people, mix in a few stupid games, plenty of yummy food (thanks Becky!), great conversation, a walk in the countryside and a big fat pub lunch. Bake for a weekend.
Best weekend I've had all year. The only downside was having to say goodbye.

The return of the neighbour from hell
Aaaarrrggggghhhhhhh!!!
Yes fellow bloggers, our troublesome neighbour is causing us grief again. After about 6 weeks of peace since we got back from our travels she has spent the last 2/3 weeks building up to a noise frenzy.
It started with occasional bangs and slams and the TV on loudly. It moved on to music at full volume with more and more bangs and slams and shouting. It moved to the next level last night, with slams shaking the flat and waking us up every half an hour or so through most of the night. We had about 3 hours of disturbed sleep and I spent the first half of my day at work today feeling really jittery and knackered!
We've decided to stay at Marcus' tonight to ensure we get some decent sleep. Judging by past episodes it seems we will have trouble for the next couple of weeks. Oh joy.

First 'proper' week
Just finished my first 'proper' week at St B's, after Becky officially finished last Friday. I think it's fair to say that it has been really quite stressful! I was expecting it to be pretty full on so at least it didn't get me by surprise. Got to work tomorrow too as it's a 'Leadership Day', means I'll have worked 52 hours this week. Taking a day in Lieu next Friday ready to set off for the barn weekend, which I'm really really looking forward to. 2 days with a bunch of pretty much the best people in the world. Yay!

What's your theological worldview?
You scored as Emergent/Postmodern.
You are Emergent/Postmodern in your theology. You feel alienated from older forms of church, you don't think they connect to modern culture very well. No one knows the whole truth about God, and we have much to learn from each other, and so learning takes place in dialogue. Evangelism should take place in relationships rather than through crusades and altar-calls. People are interested in spirituality and want to ask questions, so the church should help them to do this.

Which muppet are you?
You are Kermit the Frog.
You are reliable, responsible and caring. And you have a habit of waving your arms about maniacally.
FAVORITE EXPRESSIONS:
"Hi ho!" "Yaaay!" and "Sheesh!"

Just came home from work, put the stereo on and checked my emails. 10 minutes later I realised that I had been listening to Bob Dylan for 10 minutes without realising it. Rich had left the CD in and I'd just played what was in there. I guess he can't be that bad if I didn't notice and have to turn the CD off. Just had a look at the album cover to see which one it is - it's 'slow train coming' - much more tuneful than the CD I blogged about a few months ago. Still, now I've realised Im going to have to take it out and put on something else.....
