There were major disruptions on train journey back up today, but it actually wasn’t as bad as I thought it might be.  I made a point of taking it as time to enjoy my ipod, and I did. A good example of how things like this help to make the world go round happier [...]

Took the train down to Dublin this avo.  Its actually very relaxing even if it takes forever: reading, listening to my ipod… grrrrrreat.
Dinner with “collegues”  – who are so much more than just that - outside a restaurant in a surprisingly quiet waterside area of Dublin as the sun set.  Food was great too.

I rocked up at the airport this morning, extra early to avoid a mad rush through security… but the queue to check in was practically non-existant and I was checked in, through security and at Starbuck’s counter in about ten minutes.  Nice.  There was a moment of disappointment when they didn’t have my favourite cinnamon [...]

A lengthy lie-in, cosy and warm and no pressure to get up.
I was taking the service in my home church tonight.  Talking about my work with students.  Took a different slant and got people within the congregation to talk about their experiences of the CU movement.  It was magic!  Not only did they say exactly [...]
