Placement cont
Just sent off my first few emails to some churches for my placement. I’m scared and excited and extremely nervous.
Fishponds email doesn’t work, no other way of contacting them, arrgh.
Man, who thought that an email could do this to you!?
But apart from sending off like 4 emails, i’m still looking for some churches in and around the Bristol area, so if you know any good ones, please...

We went so that we could make some initial contact with some others out there (David and Belinda) as when the Bless...

Here is a short video of the fireworks from earlier this evening.
Its crazy really - each year Slavonski Brod have a fireworks competition. This year it is between Croatia, Russia and Austria. This is Austria’s efforts. I only filmed the start because I ended up not watching them.
So on Friday night we all went down to the fort with a bunch of new friends and old to see the...

Just watched the most epic fireworks display. 1 day down. 2 more to go. Russia did a good job.

But also some very good company...

Hannah and i went out for a bike ride.
We headed for the beach.
Half way it started spitting
3/4 of the way it was really tipping it down.
We turned around and started heading back.
I looked down to see how wet my shoes and trousers were.
My trousers went see through.
I wasen’t impressed.
There were lots of people jogging and riding their bikes to.
Then, get home turn on...

Stillness
Tomorrow i have come to the decision not to talk for the whole day. After watching an episode of the most recent heroes, and how the deaf lady doesnt really talk, and i can assure you she can’t hear either, it got me thinking. Like, what would it be like not to be able to talk? I was thinking about getting some earplugs but then i would have just ended up shouting at everyone, which means...

Classical Music
So today is very sunny again, after a day of gloom and rain, which is good because it’s the Easter weekend!!
So sitting outside eating our breakfast and drinking our English tea, next door is doing something to their back garden. But with them doing that, he’s also blaring some classical tunes!! It’s all very relaxing, and I’m starting to enjoy this ‘new’ sort...
