it may just be the buz

it may just be starting my new job and being all excited about that but i am feeling better than i have been feeling for months. which is great i even think that i am starting to lose some of the whieght i put on at the y.

although had a bit of a hectic day yeasterday it started off well and was feeling quite happy with myself and so forth but then i took gordon and his mum down to edingbough to the station and the car overheated on the way out of the city partly due to not haveing toped up the water and the whole city being in gridlock more so than normal. this conspired with the bridge being a car park and me getting totaly lost when i got back to perth for me arriving at my meeting so late everyone was going oops but i did meet the new local youth worker.

i also had a rad night no one had said but i went back to the church after the meeting to disscuss it with the person who had actualy turned up to the meeting and see if there was anything i needed to know. and there where a gang of young people practicing for worship which was for the new youth worship event. which i will be involved in i met a few more of the local youth workers which i am sure will be helpful how is it i have missed these people over the past few months honistly it is like starting all over again in a totaly new place. had a great night

ready...... steady...... go!!!!!!!!!

well i have finaly got there and have started my new job i am so chuffed so far. wont tell you about the hassles getting up here i mean after all it was all about silly airoplains and thats really not important.
went to my new line managers house for drink last night signed my contract and chatted a bit about my week although it all still feels a bit wooly thats fine because that will give me time to settle and get used to the place a bit and give me an opertunity to think through some half formed ideas i have for where i want stuff to start heading. it also means i can go and join in with the current work and see how i fit into that. by the sounds of things they have a pritty good set up though so its all good.

church this morning was nerve racking meeting all those people is always hard but i have a feeling i will be right at home there pritty quick which will be lovley i really like the prospect of having a home church again.

my office rocks the young people cleaned it and painted it for me which was so lovley i met a few of them today but they where off to a baptisum so i will meet more over the week. but back to the office they had painted it yellow and oringe and pink and green i am so chuffed aperantly they just did it without any prompting.

feeling really blessed and really tired now think i shall head to bed soon

oh gordons mums up at the moment which is also lovley but gordon and she both disaper tomorrow which is a big bummer if you ask me.

cleaning

just finished cleaning the house so that my family will hae somewhere nice to come back to after their holiday. the smell of cleaning products is very strong at the moment and i feel tired but quite pleased with myself. its been a long time since i have cleaned this house top to bottem but this is where i learned those skills so it was fairly simple and easy.

about to take the dog for his penoltamate walk although i think that i will wait till the end of this disc of jane eyre before i go i am totaly enjoying it my abridged version was totaly pants and left out really improtant detail but i guess they all do. nearly half way through since yesterday i am so sad arnt i.

cleaning and classic novils. but you cannot say the jane is dull i mean it is a great example of early feminisum wounderful

London and Dad

yay saw dad today was great really lovley to see him really really really really really lovley and not because he bought me loads of stuff or took me out to lunch in one of my fav restraints i miss my dad very much and would have been happy sitting all day in a park chatting.

but hey not complaining we went to see the dutch portait exerbision which was great really really intresting some of the pictures where so spectuala and so different from what you normaly see. can't explain really they just where.

then we went to paperchaise and the talking bookshop and hmv and ended up in rada chatting to dianas workmate while dad met the cast of his next show.

half a sixpence is going up to aberdeen and dad said he would be me some tickets which is really exsiting i am so looking forward to it.

ouch

my tummy is giving me jip and am sitting in mums office having run out of things to do so i guess unless they come up with a whole new list of things to do this is my last day in here.
had another lazy day yesterday when i played far to much on the computer but hey did mums ironing so she will be happy.
spent this mornign cleaning the rooms that i am not useing i figure if i do the cleaning it will be nicer house for my family to come back to and by the sounds of things they have not had the best holiday ever. chris is quite pourly with an ear infection poor kid they had to go to the hospital and everything.

i need to change my profile picture

well on blogger i do not really on face book it is a bit strange posting between two things but the one on blogger is from my flat in cathcart which i left 3!! years ago so will find an approperate one when i go home not as if people arn't obsessed with taking my photo for some reason.

anayhow what have i been up to i am totaly enjoying being home its actualy really lovley no stress because my post does not come here lots of good company of friends and whatnot. walking the dog and running around in my brother car.

dan gen pete and i had another bbq and video night last night we drank a bottle of wine and relaxed which was lovley. watched sin city which i really enjoyed i am quite supprsed to say but hey.

church in the morning was good it is acutaly funny how weired it is to be with them to weeks in a row but it was nice to hear ian preach (they had been to new wine (where i became a christian) last week which excited me) the sermon was on the resurtion of lazeras which was really good i think i got out of it the most that god does not do things the way we wont him to (or at least not all the time) he does things in the way that will bring him most glory. and putting that into the conxtect of my life since april it is very lifting and i came away feeling good about the whole thing (arn't i being grown up)

can't wait to start my new job next week!!!

why is it i never remeber my password

it was a joy not bring my lapdown down the country with me it meant i did not have to lug it around at the airport but its a pain because i have all my passwords saved on it so i am currently surfing the net despratly trying to remeber what password i use where but hey there are worse things in life.



been going into the warehouse and doing some work on health and saftey for my mum while she is away also been doing alittle dogs body work but thats okay.

although have been feeling very tired after each day it is a bussy office and can get quite intence also the fact that almost everyone in there is relatied to me in some way is quite scary i don't think i have been around my exstended family for the lenght of time for at least the last 5 years but it is all good.

other than that it has been a few days of seeing friends who i never get to hang out with properly eating good food at their houses and serving well we sharn't say good food at mine going to have a dvd night tonight with Gen and Dan which will be lovley and am looking forward to church again on sunday.
although am really starting to look forward to getting back to perth and starting my new job have loads of ideas already and am not even there yet.

rushden

i am getting through my first full day at home with only the dog and the cat for company. of course going to church this morning helped alot. it was a really good service thoughts on Noha which like david said is one of those stories you have heard so meny time you think that you just can't get anything else out of it but there really is alot more to it than you hear in sunday school.

went shopping and bought a pair of shorts in tescos along with my weeks food and stuff really really lovley and hot today going to go for a dip in the hot tub now which is good.

looking forward to tomorrow as dan and gen are coming round and we are going to have bbq and then tuesday going to the wearhouse to see family and do some work. and then in the eve going to bill and hillaryies house for dinner so all in all these two weeks are starting off well.

although am missing gordon wish he was here.

back from dublin

gordon and i had a nice trip to dublin over a very long weekend. started off abit well dull and grey partly because of poor weather partly because of us being tired and having to move hotels and not being able to work out the public transport system.
but once we where finaly settled and sorted and had worked out all that stuff we where fine and had a great time eating to much walking loads and loads and listening to irish music which was cool.

we also visited a few museams did the bus tour (the one thats everywhere all over the world big red open toped busses you know the onse i mean) and went to a prison which was being used as a museam mainly telling about the easter uprising in 1916 learnd loads that really should have been basic to our education but there you go nothing is perfect. wish i was not back in the real world again lots to look forward to but a few hurdels before i get there.
