We're the pirates who don't do anything

Pete is now bald. He raised £3000 for charity (half to the church windows fund, the other half to the Yorkhill Schiehallian Childrens Cancer ward) in one big haircutting session. A pretty expensive haircut to be honest...

I have a cold.

I went to bobs after work on saturday night abd sat around his kitchen table drinking tea and smoothies and talking, mostly to Johanna and Matt, who ar actually hilarious. I was in stitches. And my tummy hurt from too much laughing by the end of the night. All in all, it was a good night.

Friday night, me and my navs girls did some baking and then stood outside the QMU from 1am to 3am giving out free coffee and tea and baked goods. it was really good fun. We got some totally random conversations, but it was all good.

So today I'm cooking for the girls. Well, Nicky and I are.

Have you ever heard the same kind of thing several times from several sources? recently, I've heard lots of sermons, discussions and notices about serving. Especially service to the poor or needy. It's not smething I would have automatically have thought of in connection with me, but it sometimes feels like God is pushing me that way.

I got up an hour before I had to this morning because I wanted to take photos for class. and I've done that now, but that only took like five minutes.. so I've been bumming around my room with nothing to do for ages.

I think I'm going to leave now. I think I'm going to lunch with Jo next sunday. should be good.

Good night.

I am letting myself go, I am letting myself go.

so, to continue the phone recovery story, Kendra had locked her phone in her room and gone to town. she then phoned me to try and get into her room and retrieve it. I couldn't do that unless she phoned Raj. Which she did so I got her phone. and thats that.

so for the rest of wednesday, I went to Byres road to give a woman a badge that I was fixing for her. I completed Bob's birthday present, and wrapped it up, I went on to the project at Maryhill which was great, I picked up Tara from the train station, ate dinner in a really nice little italian bistro cafe thing, went to the el dog gig and then came home again. All in all, it was a really good day.

Yesterday, I went to class and took Tara to the bus, got the night off work and went round to Bobs for an el dog meal. it was really nice, it was just the band, jo, gail, ronnie and me, so it was cool. Bob got a dance mat for his birthday from alan and jim so that was the main highlight of the evening, i suck at the dance mat, completely, i got like 37,000 points, whereas calum got 207,500. so you can see how much better the drummer is than me. good food good chat, in general a really good night.

so today i woke up and was all ready to go to dance (if a bit grudgingly) when i get to the tom bone building and find that our class has been cancelled, due to illness. so thats not good. at any rate we have a team project meeting and write out a quick proposal, in order to send it off to the primary schools we are hoping to work with. so at least something good came from it all.

this afternoon I'm off to meet my mum and sister in town, do a bit of shopping or something. have coffee.. the usual. so that should be good. then its off to work... boo hooo. it should be fun. well.. anyway.

so thats my plan. tomorrow, think i've got the day off and am just working the evening shift, so i don't know what i'll do all day... sunday, i might be popping over to larbert forthe morning, Pete is cutting off his dreads for charity so i think i'll go see that. coffee with nomy in the evening, unless roz wants to go to the johnathan rice gig... we'll see. at any rate it'll be monday morning soon enough and another round of team project. woopdedoo.

hope you all have enjoyable weekends.

well, if music died, i don't think i'd survive

ho hum.

yesterday, the weather was miserable, i had a annoying morning, in that i left all my notes for a class in the room afterwards and was half way to town before i realised. not supposed to be back there til next tuesday, but i suppose i should go try get them back.. grrrrr. oh yeah and then i locked myself out of my room, but the cleaners let me back in, so that was fine. anyway, i then met Bob at 1.47 at the buchanan galleries. we walked (the really long and confusing way) back to jordanhill in the pouring rain. both soaked to the skin. so i abandon him to the tea room at scotstoun to read his book while i go for an induction to the gym. which was fine. long, but good. came back to mine and Bob drank some of my free whisky. not that he likes whiskey, but hey. it was fun.

then i had navs, which was lovely and we all ate far too much chocolate.

so now i'm sitting here with nothing to do til around 1.30 uh, ok, now i have a mission.. to try and get into kendras room and get her phone.. off to find a cleaner..
