That's it! I can't take it any longer! I'm going to blog, like it or not!

Wow, it's like sitting in a familiar old armchair! This same old blog window. It's annoying little perks, coupled with the nice little features that make it all worthwhile...

Man, nostalgia really isn't what it used to be. The notebook was all well and good, but this newfangled internet thing is just so much more comfortable, and I get to listen to some relatively good music as I type. So anyway, what's been going on in the life o' teh dickybod?

The last week, as has previously been explained was spent in a city (well, more of a town) of tents adjacent to Eltham College. Throughout the day we would go to our individual groups to do work in the community.

Well... that was the idea. And for the most part, it was rather successful.

however, a few people were moderately confused to see me on MSN during the last week. In true Richard style, i managed to come down with tonsillitis for the week, meaning i missed the work Monday as i was rushed at quite a slow pace to my GP, then Tuesday was spent going home and being at home, with a rather interesting phone call to Sarah for most of the evening, where i had to envisage what it was she was asking for approval of, seeing as I wasn't there to see it (we're talking clothes here by the way); the highlight of Wednesday was being in my old routine of MSN, NS, NG, Blogs, SS, WMP, IOM, PS2, and all my other acronymed internet pastimes. Thursday I went back to Eltham, feeling slightly better, but since I was in bed until 5pm, I was slightly late to do any work. Then Friday! Friday was great fun!

Friday!!!

What a day this was! i woke up, feeling much worse in the throat than i had the previous evening, but i didn't grumble...much. Then, after breakfast, we went to the large tent for the morning meeting. After the initial shock of Mike Pilavachi sporting another fantastic shirt, there was the secondary shock of him with an afro. Communal embarrassment for Mike in Eltham that day was only heightened when, in true Soul Survivour tradition, he sang/crooned/ruined/destroyed a classic song. This year, twas the turn of Simon and Garfunkel's 'Bridge Over Troubled Water'. However, since the 3 tent 'cities' were linked by sattelite, we also had the pleasure of hearing Pete Hughes (whos brother is a singer, just for reference) and the other guy who's name always escapes me. So all in all, a fun morning, which could have been made better with the inclusion of a certain song. Honestly, Matt Redman should have been on the ball that moning...

So anyway, after lunch i finally got to go to Greenwich to do what it was i was meant to haver been doing for the entire week. After a lot of transport of things and a relatively long walk (with some back ache), i spent the next 4 hours serving drinks in Greenwich park to little kids. Bland as that sounds, i really enjoyed it. I guess you had to be there, no?

-

Well, this darn tonsil of mine is still being of the painful, so i may consider going back to the GP. Couldn't hurt right....right??

-

In other news, i've been killing myself in the effort and sheer willpower it is taking to be awake at 9.30 in the morning, just so i can talk to Sarah (who's in Spain, for those of ye who don't read her blog). Mornings were never my forte. Give me a nice comfortable afternoon anyday.

Thanks for reading. I'll type up the notebook when i can gather the energy and the botheredness.
