yes, i did watch the rugby..... what a superb match :) and after me saying for so long that we were going to "thrash the english"... its so nice to be right about that for once! :)
My mother even wanted someone to play Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture before the service started on sunday morning at church.... but then she thought better of it. Mainly because she didnt necessarily think that everyone would get it / appreciate it / recognise the piece of music. Was a fun thought tho.
So. other new in the world of me... erm... ... ... ... ... i'm ill at the moment. there's some news. I have developed this horrible irritating cold-y type thing this morning. Totally bugs me. I hate being / feeling ill. Dont want it! take it away! all bunged up and icky feeling. Not nice. And had to start work at 8 this morning... that wasnt fun. And also worked longer than i was supposed to. That also wasnt fun. Technically it wasnt just sprung on me that i was going to work longer... i knew yesterday that i was going to have to work longer today because Lisa (swedish girl at work) was going to see "Joseph" with the RoL school (matinee performance in Carlisle) so she couldnt do her whole shift. Work was relatively ok tho, all things considered. I sneezed far too much tho.... hate sneezing cos i never just sneeze once... its always about 3 or 4 times in succession and there's nothing i can do to prevent it.
Since coming home til now i have eaten almost a full tube of smarties... now that doesnt sound like much, but when you understand that this particular tube of smarties was bought in Switzerland and has a "twirling disney princess" on the top... measures approx 25cm in height (not including the "twirling disney princess" that is actually the stopper) and 3.5cm in diameter... its quite a large tube of smarties. Was a birthday present from a friend. In case you're wondering, which i'm sure you are, the disney princess on the top is Belle from Beauty and the Beast. And i'm pretty sure that by the end of this post i shall have devoured the remaining smarties in the tube. I really need some proper food. But i cant eat tea til Dad comes home with the food... which i'm really hoping is soon cos its already 8.40pm... if not i shall probably resort to eating the BBQ pringles that are in a bag up here.... again, another not so good idea cos as they say "once you pop, you cant stop!" (make that the end of the paragraph to finish the smarties!!... all gone!)
In other news we made pancakes at prayer group last night which was fun .... tho we burnt the first few. And for someone who has never tossed a pancake before, Chris does a remarkably good job!.... except when attempting to toss a pancake and a grape at the same time....both fell on the floor! We also made an extra special pancake and wrapped it in tinfoil and hid it it Cheryl's fridge with various notes around her kitchen / house about "killer pancakes" and the fact that all the monkey nuts that Sandy had been "lovingly" scattering around her house were really hidden cameras / microphones placed in strategic locations to ensure she did not remove the genetically modified killer pancake until the appointed time. *Cheryl was dozing on her futon at the time of said pancake / monkey nut posting* Ah the joys :) Twas a very fun evening!
Verse for the week comes from Isaiah 43:10. Its the one that sprang out at me at prayer group when we read it last night. Also happened to spring out at Cheryl and Chris so there's obviously a lot to be said about the verse. I read it from the NLT last night and it was just so nicely put. It says:
"...and you are my servant. You have been CHOSEN to know me, believe in me and understand that i alone am God. There is no other God; There never has been and never will be."
so there you go. The emphasis is mine. Have a nice day / evening.
