this term has been so sooo mad! last weekend, the Girls Brigade company at church hosted a panto, “Aladdin under the sea”. a combination of the little mermaid, and aladdin. I must say, i had lots of “proud mummy” moments as i’ve now called them. there were times during rehersals where i welled up and was incredibly proud of all the hardwork that was put in by all. our church really came together during this, all for the sake of raising money for 3 really good charities, and alot of money has been made. everyone is still recovering from long days of painting, making sets, rehersals, singing, technology testing etc. i am knackered, and recovering slowly. i am one very proud youth worker though.
it’s becoming a bit of a tradition to go the german market along the southbank with some close friends at christmas time. last saturday, restaurants w
ere too busy, so we went for a bratwurst from the market and some churros. i’d never even seen churros before, but they were like strips of doughnut with dipping chocolate- very yummy and very sickly!
we went to see messiah in concert that night, which was a new experience. i was shattered from over-working that weekend, and could feel my eyes dropping at some moments, but it was good.
as i type, snow is heavily falling from the sky, and i feel like i’m inside a snowglobe in my office. it’s very pretty, but making me sad. university students all over the country are trying to get back this weekend for christmas, and i can imagine there are already people stuck all over the place. i am praying that our uni students get back safely tonight, tomorrow and sunday. (and hoping that the snow goes before tuesday so i can go home to southampton for christmas!!)
tonight is the last youth club we’re having before 2011. we’re having a chilled out christmas party. i’m deciding when to brave going to do the shopping for it, and am secretly hoping this snow slows down a bit, but it’s only getting worse.
time to put the coat, scarf, hat, gloves etc on and brave it i think!
hopefully next term will be less busy and i will have some more spare time to blog.
