Vienna

so back from my holiday in veina and will be publishing my photos when i have made it the rest of the way to glasgow but for now i am just going to say Vienna was amazing. we saw and did so much it would be impossible to go through it all here and now but here are some highlights.
sitting in a coffee house with a cup of hot choc and a lovley lady telling us about her life.
going up to the roof of a very tall church to look at the frescos which were great luther was there but he was being sent down to hell with his books burnt it being a catholic church tehe i thought that was fun.
hanging out with my dad in one of the most beaustiful cities i have ever been to.
it is all good i will post phtos with more details later on like i said.
back at mums now and am heading off to glasgow tomorrow what joy.
but not before seeing my brother in his new kayak really exsiting.

youth cafe mssion style

went to the mission churches youth cafe and was vert impresed. the group proived milkshaks jucies and sweets but also bord games pool and some dj decks we sat listening to one of the lads mixing quite an okay lot of music and played scrabble most fun my team actualy won!
then mum tok us on a trip to matalan which was fruitful.
then i finished harry potter it took me till after 12 and couldn't get to slep afterwould oops oh well. off to dads not sure if i will get a chance to blog in the next week or so.

K an S the end

so i went to the last ever Kicking and Screeming last night (for thoughs of yu who dom't know it is a youth service) and found it not to be what i remebered it being which was a livley free service with a good prayer ministry. don't get me wrong it was still a good service but more along the normal adult eveing service lines. so sorta glad that they are putting it to sleep and moving onto new things.

Church

feeling little shell shocked after church this morning have had to take in alot of news in a very short space of time. but thats what church is always like i guess although there was alot of bad news which i shall not go into but the church is having to deal with alot of stuff at the moment.

had a lovley drink with jane after the service and was invided to the youth cafe that they are doing in the week. told her all about he stuff thats been going on with me as well as got debriefed on some of the things that are happening in church. the last ever Kicking and screeming is tonight which i am glad i am down for would have been sad to come down to find it not happening anymore.

school fete

one of the advantages of having little brothers of a certain age who live in a small town and go to school in a smaller villege and bedfordshire. that from time to time i get to go to the quaint school fetes that they hold. these have local busnesses with flower stalls lots of things like tombolers and soacking the teacher an actverty that chris was hard to get away from and displays from the groups thats happen in the school like the gymnastics group which were impressive to say the least

although i am not that sure weather it was not an example of adults putting to much presure on young people to acheive and so will all end in tears at some point. not quite sure were that line is as it is good to encorige young people to take part and exsell but it is not good to put presure on them to be the best and if they are not the best then they are worthless. but thats sorta a side thought.

there was also a fancy dress compotion were princesses and pirates was the theam and the young people who had dressed up marched around the green showing of the costumes that i must say laked emagination since they had all obvessly been bought from the disny shop. well that is all exsept on connor who dressed up as a princess and should have won the prize on the basis that he had put the most thought ino his costume but he seemed quite happy when we talked to him later.

we have also today been to town and got some sandels for me and the new harry potter book which i have started to devor. and we had a lovley lunch in the bakery in sharnbrook before we went to the fete out in the bakery garden which was lovley.
have just cleaned the bathroom and am gonna get on with reading this book yay.

thinking about how hard i find it to strike up convosation with people after i havn't seen them for a wile met suz and lisa in the shops this morning and found it really hard to find things to say to them very strange.

liverpool

so yesterday went okay got up early and was droped off at the station at the start of my long journy to liverpool the other side of the country and some way north.
i got there without misshap and found the passport office fairly quikly i was over half an hour early for my appointment so sat in the offic after going through security which was pritty tight and waited with my book.
when i finaly got called up the lady behind the desk said that they were on a new system and that i could do that day pick up if i so wished which was such a relife but meant that i had to miss the train i intended to catch to get home and amuse myself with no money until 5:30pm. that wasn't to hard i went and found the marritime museam which was amazing everyone must go there they actualy had streets to walk down so that you got a real feel of what liverpool felt like during the mass emegration to the new world and a slave ship to sit in so you got an idea of how that must have felt it was cool. was to tried to get round the hole thing though so went and sat by the docks and read some more until i made my way up to the post office again.
got my passport although the lady got confused about my name which has always been a pain in the bum if we are totaly honist.
and i started on my way home the train from lestier was cancelled so i had to wait 45 minits for the next one although it was longer as that one was late. BUt am home and happy and don't have to worry about getting to venia now am so exsited about that.

my rom is sooo hot

the problem with being home in the summer is that my room is like an oven and it is almost impossible to sleep urg but i guess i have plenty of time to rest during the day.
there is a big problem with my passport at the moment as in i havn't been able to find it so i am having to go to liverpool to fast track a new one arrrrg . the problem with that is that i have left my birth certifcate in glasgow which Gordon is now looking for to send to me but he can't find it.
i don't know i am so blond it is unbeleivble i mean who does something like this.

home

traveled home yesterday although it was a bit of a dul journy as my mp3 play brock just as i was leaving.
there were problems with all three trains the first being vergin had not loaded up the reservations onto its seats so people sat anywere and then when they did get the reservations up refused to move it was okay i got a seat so was not to bothered. it was also delauyed and i missed my connection and the next train was also delayed and so i was over an hour later home than i thought i would. was greated by the normal shourt barks hugs and maddness whih is always fun.
mum had mae a lankeshir hopot in aid of my coming home but when she tasted it found that the meat had gone off in the heat and so we had to resort of chinees instead which was a shame love lanckaster hotpot.
had a bath with the jacuzie on which was lovley.
this morning directed a man to fix their digital box still in pjs which is unuseal and have read a quater of my book. it is all good good good really it is.

Gradutation weekend

so it has been a bit of a mad weekend really lovley and hot although the college is almost to hot to bear at the mo we will cope i am sure though.
so friday was a bissy day not sure if i can remeber how it strated i think i was quite chilled out at the start of the day but i wasn't by the end thats for sure. went to get some shopping with kat in the morning got acupple of air fresheners for my room so that it was plesant for Gordons mum when she was staying in there. but forgot the engredents to make fudge so decided to go shopping with Gordon abit later mistake. we were out for ages trying to find things he did need for saturday like a decent shirt to go with his suit. then got back with an hour before we had to go meet his Dad and i started running about putting sheets towels and other such things on the beds and in the bathrooms were his family would be staying.
after getting alittle lost Gordons dad and his wife arrived and we went to meet them for food which was nice enough. then after meeting Gordons mum Grandad and nephew at the station went to the sleep over that the girls had arranged and i was very late for we had cake and watched die hard which was not the worst film in the world but certainly do not want to see it again.
i then left there about 10 and got Gordons graduation i then went and helpt with perapring and eating lunch. Gordon disserpeared of to get rady to greatuate and Jamie (gordons nephew) and i went to pick up David (Gordons befriendy) and his mum from the bus stop they were dreadfully late and so we missed them peraiding in which was a real shame the church was so hot but it was worth it really. then we went for another meal out which was lovley. Although it would have been better if we had been sitting on a round table instead of a long table but that what china buffet king is like. thats about it for the weekend its been madness but fun so tired. oh and Gordon got a prize for practical theolgy which was cool.

fun and games in the park

so went to Drumchaple with Gordon yesterday which is always fun really honistly it is. we did a disco in the morning for little kids urg which could have been worse although Gordon forgot his computer so that made things alittle hard but it all ended well. then in the afternoon we took some slightly older kids to glasgow green which was intresting as we had a group transport system which required that and one of the young people in my group flatly refused to stay in the group with me in the end threatend to hold her hand and she was not amused at all. but they had a good time in the park and the trip home wasn't too painful. although i ended up sitting on a seat next to two random men who went on at lenth about how useless young people were and we could have their children as well. it was okay though. so tired when we got home. but went to see alot like love which was an okay film.
today not done much watched to much 24 but hohum the wind and the rain.

scary computers

just took my computer into the shop to get it fixed and there are some big things wrong with it it apears and it is gonna cost serouse dosh so much so that i am woundering would it be worth wile just buying a new laptop for the last year i mean it is gonna cost so much that it wouldn't be that much more to get a better one hummmmmm i don't know gonna go into consulation with mum to see.
other than that have been doing the hole have moved house so have to get my post coming to the right adress thing. urg what fun. oh and washing.

the bus

so i went with linda and her little brother to audio epidemic last night we were gonna be late because we had to pick said little brother (whos name is Phil) up from the train station as he had come down from aberdeen but we didn't think that would matter that much as we wernt gonna be that late and we were going to be there.
well we missed one bus and had to stand around for 20 mins waiting for the next one. and we ended up the most random bus ever first it crashed into a car which we didn't see or feel but the guy in the car looked pritty cross with the driver as they stood in the middel of the road holding up all the traffic behind us in the center of glasgow. then we swaped drivers it is unclear weather we swoped because this guy had crashed or just because it was time we swoped but we had a lady driver who so didn't know the rote and took us down a coldersak and so we ended up doing a three point turn in some ones driveway. now we are not talking little bus we are talking big dubble decker! it was soooo funny.
well we got to newton mearns in the end and the band although not my type of music were okay. there were no kids from tinity which was a shame though.
we left with suzis, suzis young people and dave to catch the next bus which was late and we got eaten alive by miges urg. infact it was so late we got on it as it was going to other way and waited for it to turn round. it was mean bus driver who thought we were all hollagains and wouldn't stop to let a lady (who was alittle worse for drink) off because he thought it was the young people rining the bell. much fun. poor old dave missed his last bus home so he came back to the college and slept in one of the spare rooms. going to go see war of the worlds today yay.

Harriet

I have just hurd from Mary (from my year for God team) that her little sister Harriet has been Diognosed with SLE which is an incurible desies that makes the anti bodies in your body fight agenst your body. she says it is courseing Harriet great pain and zapping all her energy she has had to go into hospital and is falling behind with her studies. I am sure that she will not mind me asking every one who reads this to pray for this beautiful energetic little girl and her family.

computer sorted

now i am sitting in my room it doesn't quite feel like mine yet but that will change once i have been in here a wile. i have just been uninstalling the bt bordband modem so that i can use msn in the college which seems to have worked so feeling quite pleased with my self.
still have a headake although sleept really well last night dispite the people who kept comeing a waking me up ended up ignoring people tapping on my door think i need to make a do not disturb sign today what fun.
audio epidemic is today hope this headake goes away by then not sure how i am going to cope if it doesn't.
