and so its bank holiday monday and im sat in the world of the sunshine and at home awaiting the phone to ring.. whoo hoo. will it or wont it.
nice.
im also watching my favourite movie (ok one of them) "are ya dead man - yeah man im dead" Cool Runnings. come on what else could they show at the height of the olympics. ok its the wrong season but jamica is hot..
also (in my organising skills) have planned the sundays im leading and speaking at Budliegh Baptist Church - www.budleighbaptistchurch.org.uk. whoo hoo. so wanna come.. should be good. ok i have no idea if its good or not but we're looking at encounters with Jesus. just to see how people reacted when they met him and maybe we could learn from it.
So the olympians are back. Well done to them all huh. the coverage from the BBC has been really great. ok so ive not been up since 2 am but its great to see replays and with having at least one of the weeks off got to see some of the great races from the rowing. now got to work out how to be a volunteer at the next so at least i'll get to see some of it!!! lol. certainly not going to be in it. well maybe i was thinking of greco wrestling which we had no one in.... hmmm maybe.
a hot bank holiday and ive been indoors awaiting the ring of love.. but alas no... back to normality tomorrow. well maybe

i didnt realise how many places offer free internet. ok perhaps im meant to be sat somewhere closer than i am.
today back to work again.. after 2 weeks then a day and then 2 days off. hmmm.
Anyhow. up in bristol like a sea saw.
flexibility is the key.. but do people notice until you arent being flexible.
worked on some new website stuff and trying to help out people be creative in their own.
facebook is working out ok. just being reasonable on the time i spend there.. to be honest this appears online there and people have the chance to comment online. if they want.
im also spending less time on the internet until things matter. which is always a good thing.
was quite productive yesterday. sorted out my ou course! whoo hoo. really wanted to carry on my ma but just couldnt get time off to achieve this. well maybe a change of direction. also sorted out my car details as its been scrapped but dvla thinks its still alive. also paid some money in the bank. wow you say.. ALSO finally sorted perhaps my finance company could have done this my tax out. hurrah. rebate here i come. did you know you can get a rebate even up to 6 years later. but as im on BR of tax and have been since feb i have to be up for some cash o..
people at work were discussing christians today. there is a lady who decided to tell one of our guys he may have had a demonic spirit as he's having a few issues. oh my. i've suggested that perhaps Jesus didnt tell people they were demonised he healed them, loved them and i was prepared to do the same. to care for people and demonstrate rather than battle over the head faith. rubbish. what kinda job are you doing today in demonstrating who you are to others?

with the flat being void of internet at the moment a cunning plan was to be hatched. And as mcdonalds as many other pubs and hotels offer. free internet. you have to love it.
so wrapped with my wireless comp off i set to sit and tap away....
mind you the exention lead from my house is pretty long.
still loving the olympics. i sat in disbelief as we won a gold this afternoon. seriously we were last at one point im sure! still well done.. whooo hoo.. 16 golds.. im sure i've never known this many?

so the last 2 days have been the summer and we spent it on the beach. teignmouth beach not bad the sand is slightly gritty though and a strange colour.. lol. but we made the best sandcastle to show up the other lame o castles. lol. it had 2 moats and two major mounds. come on all those years on youth camps suddenly come in to play.

hey its raining and rhiana is not even no1.
bored of the rain. means staying in when on a no budget summer holiday. the local park is cool but not really large. in the next field are sheep so we decided we'd go visit them. ok we didnt notice the string on the kissing gate. so after vising the sheep we turned around and noticed the sheep had escaped. hmmm.
so in a no budget holiday rounding up sheep for 45 mins was a winner!
whooo hoo. esp when loads of tourists turn up and take photos. no body helps just continues to video. lol.
yesterday went to the wedding of the year. lisa and dave. her dress was lovely. strapless with a flower bow on the front. bridesmaids in a lovely leafy green. really nice. good to catch up with some people i've not seen in a while.
hurrah.
today the sun is shiining. kinda makes u look at life a bit different.
maybe..

well we'll give it a month trial..
apart from that kids and i are on holiday in mortonhampstead and today it looks like rain.. mind you its rained all this week and potentially being on dartmoor its going to rain all week!! lol.
