Hurrah for new people joining blogland!
Today I met the delightful grandchildren of a couple from church. Four of them: three boys and a girl, aged between 14 and 22. Honestly, I don’t know if I’ve ever seen siblings get along like they did. No beastly banter, no picking on the baby girl of the family, [...]

I actually played Bingo tonight!!! I found a ridiculous sense of pleasure when he called ‘all the eights, eighty-eight’ cos I knew that I’d be able to use it in my blog for yesterday! Also a ridiculous sense of disappointment when he didn’t say ‘legs eleven, number eleven’. The whole bingo caller thing reminds me [...]

A homecoming to my home from home. I’m so thankful to be able to say I have two places I’m comfortable in to call home (and home home).
Today I felt so privileged at the insight the whole 365 thing gives me into the lives and loves of others. I loved, loved, loved reading about the [...]

I sat in my jammies til close-to-obscene time today and revelled in the fact that I could do it! Holidays rock. I also enjoyed loading up music onto my brand-spanking new ipod.
I felt a measure of pressure in catching up my Christmas 365 days, because of the incredible stuff others have recorded - made me [...]

Seeing kids cycling, dribbling footballs and scootering up the middle aisle of the church in the middle of the service! The minister of my home church has an interesting approach to including the children! Its really fun and creates a homey family atmosphere.
The unveiling of my very first official(ish) CD of my own songs and [...]

Getting to sing along to “Driving home for Christmas” as it played on the radio as I was driving home for Christmas!!! Yeeeeoooooo!
The safe arrival of my sisters and one of their boyfriends (not that they have a hundred collectively or anything - just one each and only one came). A crowded house for the holiday [...]

I’ve had one of those days where up until the waning moments of the day you think you’ll have trouble doing a 365. But tonight I am so grateful for friends who allow me to practice community with them even with the imminent arrival of the artist currently known as ‘Bump’. Grateful for company on [...]
