i got through my final day, somehow. i am going to miss people, just not work . . . i was given beautiful flowers, chocolate etc and sent on my merry way.

i spent the afternoon seeing round my new job at bristol. i left a little confused but hopeful.

the weekend was eventful: friday night meant dinner with some of the coolest older people ever. they've been happily married for 61 years (pretty good start), and have been follwoing jexux for most of that time. they are also from south wales and started following jesus at teh tail end of the welsh 'turn or burn' church glory days - hats for women in church and no tea or coffee afterwards as it would have profaned the Lord's house. they've seen alot, done alot, and have the best jesus stories. we made a brief appaerance at a party later and i got to see the bike featured in this blog ; check it out for ideas for a great holiday.

saturday: the Boy tore his hamstring and swallowed a fly; i went exploring with tom and nic; we saw a priory used by modern day monks for worship whilst they run a drug rehab in central bristol (v cool), and later redcliffe caves, mine workings from the 15th century which were also cool (and dark!). this was all part of the open doors scheme which happens once a year, i'm looking forward to next year.

sunday felt like the longest day ever as i basically spent it in meetings about church stuff, but the one in the evening (check matt's blog for more) was really nice, it felt very settling.

today was my first day in the my new job and i have survived. my mind is still spinning of course, but i think i might like it ;)
