Waiting for the kettle to boil (again!) for my hot water bottle (it’s freezing) so thanks to Neil I can now inform you that I am apparently 10.02am!

Count your blessings name them one by one…!
Well, it’s been a lovely day (and it’s only early evening) and one resembling something like a ‘normal’ Sunday (from what I can remember). Today I’ve taken only one service in my lovely ‘new’ (to me) church (compared with last week’s three services in two churches, a funeral to prepare and a youth group to finish in the evening), then TeenSon and I enjoyed a nice mosey over to Canvey where we walked in the sunshine along the ’sea’ (Thames) wall. From there we carried on to Southend where we sat and ate nice vinegary chips by the sea on which the sun was also beautifully reflected. And now I’m waiting for the kettle to boil and the turkey roast to cook for our not-had-in-a-while roast dinner. And the evening will be unusually free of preparations for the week ahead as there’s time tomorrow to start that.
Simple things, but contentment. We really do have a lot to be thankful for.
Wiblog entry for 14/02/2008
What is the post office coming to? Instead of piles of cards blocking my front door this morning there were two measly bills. Really, I think they should get their delivery service sorted out.
I really can’t think of a snazzy summary of the following post to put in this little box…
It seems to be quite a while since I last blogged anything, due to the usual combination of nothing interesting to say and not enough time to say nothing interesting! Life has changed quite significantly in the last few months as TeenSon and I settle into our new home town, and I adjust to being Team Vicar instead of Curate, to my new team of collegaues and the new church family – and both of these are great! Despite their greatness it’s still been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster at times as we’ve adjusted to all things new and missed our connections with ‘home’. But NewHomeTown is a down to earth kind of place which suits me just fine and of course even when everything else is turned upside down, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever”… phew!
Our new home is lovely and in a very nice street which is quite a change from the town centre/home-from-pub-route/church hall noise (though still our happy home!) we had before. I have to confess that there are still a few unpacked boxes tucked about the place… but it is only 5 and a bit months since we moved in!
There’s not much more to say really, unless anyone out there wants to know anything in particular (as long as it doesn’t involve breaking confidences/announcing too specifically where we are!)?
Back to my cuppa tea…
