Today has been dominated by very wet and blustery weather, meaning there wasn't much opportunity to get out and be particularly adventurous even had I wanted to. As it happened, I was perfectly happy to spend the morning at home listening to Ashes test cricket on my laptop in the lounge. It's days like this that I will look back on once I have resumed my studies and find myself envious of such lazy luxuries!
Mum was at home this morning and it was nice to have lunch together for a change, though she had to leave for work soon after. I received a call from Matt Lawes letting me and Lydia know that the CU social planned for this evening would have to be postponed as not enough people could make it - a shame as it is now nearly two months since we saw the rest of the CU leaders, a good group of people who we have enjoyed spending many hours planning and praying with over the past year. Hopefully we will be able to agree on a new date within the next few weeks.
Lydia and I then had to embark on a secret mission which I have to keep hushed about, other than that we briefly visited Hythe on route. On the way back to the car the heavens decided that I had not been punished enough at golf yesterday and began to unleash their watery wrath, so we ended up huddled under Lydia's tiny pink umbrella, probably looking like a right pair of numpties!
After completing our mission we stopped off to surprise the Boilos and ended up spending a good hour and a half catching up on events and chatting about all sorts. Grandma broke out the garibaldi biscuits before nipping out for a haircut and Grandad talked me through his backlog of painting projects that he needs to finish in time for exhibition. Lydia was pleased to learn that she had another mention in the Herald magazine for her poetry achievements. Honestly, I think she'll earn a page to herself sooner or later!
While we were there Will Simmons phoned saying that he had bought tickets for himself and Matt for the Saints v Ajax game tomorrow and we arranged to meet outside the stadium megastore.
Lydia and I left the Boilos at around 5, planning to drop in on Nanny on the way home, but alas she wasn't in so no jam tarts on this particular Friday! After getting back a nasty surprise lay on the doormat - a letter informing me of an increase in my car inurance premium. How lovely.
I spent the vast majority of the evening playing around on the computer upstairs, breaking off only for a soup and sandwich tea once Mum had arrived home. Dad and I spent the final hour or so before bed sat at our laptops at opposite ends of the dining room table, with me having to jump in to offer essential copy and paste assistance on a number of ocassions!
Ernest was lurking about with Lydia and we chatted briefly about plans for the football tomorrow, which I am now thoroughly looking forward to.
Time now to get some shut eye and prepare for the busyness ahead. Night all!
