I got to read a bedtime story (well, 3!) to a freshly showered, pyjama-ed and dressing-gowned snuggly 3 year old. Being the baby of my family, I never got that opportunity and so appreciate it now. Before you think I’m getting all broody, I have to say that I was also thankful that I’m not [...]

Perhaps the trickiest thing about 365ing (yes, I now declare it to be a verb), is not to judge the mediocre just mediocre. Like, to not get stuck with the face that “Had a great chat with a good friend” has appeared several times already in just a month’s blogging. Because (and I know you [...]

Coming home after a satisfying day at work, I headed out grocery shopping and there were LOTS of half price bargains. Is that sad?! Sometimes half price offers are only on minging things like anchovy-stuffed olives or black bean stir fry sauces with prawns (yuck!), but it was all good stuff like fresh egg noodles [...]

A ‘Hearty Lunch’ with my adopted church family. There was a lovely warm atmosphere that comes from long term friendship. I’m looking forward to becoming more and more part of that. Plus - the soup was AMAZING.
Later on I snuggled down onto the sofa and watched some Party of Five. The house was so cosy [...]

Waking up after a night’s sleep with a hot water bottle - having not woken up cold in the middle of the night! Fresh bread - picked up still warm from the oven. Finding an excuse for buying flowers: Happy “its been a while” Day! Discovering another friend has also begun a 365 journey. Feeling [...]

This may be shallow (and rather early in the day to post this -its only 5pm), but the highlight of my day is that my friend Sam started a 365 blog!!!!! yeeeeeeeeeeoooooo!!!!!

I spent the whole day at my desk today writing a prayer letter. It took as long as I imagined it would but it was great because it gave me an excuse to reminisce about a great summer. The menial task of creating email distribution lists got completed too. General feelings of productivity are always [...]

Revelling in the decision to buy pizza for 13 people rather than spend the day cooking and doing dishes. I like making good decisions.
Announcing to a knackered group of CU leaders that the ‘important team building exercise’ they’d come to work at, involved nothing more than playing ‘Buzz’ (quiz game) on the PS2! I also [...]

I spent time catching up on some long overdue journalling. Journalling is a great thing. You should do it. I was out walking and randomly burst into a run down a lil hilly bit of the path. It was great - I just didn’t care about what people thought, I wanted to run down it [...]

Walked along Portstewart Strand tonight and chatted with a friend. This was great for several reasons…
1. Walking a pitch-dark beach at night on your own may be fun, but its not smart. So, I’ve not done it in a while.
2. The weather was kinda that mix between mild and brisk, where you’ve been smart enough [...]
