The weekend has been quite exciting, and frustrating, as I have tried 3 things for the first time …

… started to use Blogger Beta which seems OK. I can add tags and the posting is quicker. It seems every time I think of moving to typepad and actually paying(!?!) to host the blog, Blogger somes up with something knew. I have not yet, however, had the courage to update my template and see what new things I can do. If it goes wrong the thought of typing in all the links again is scarey…

… I laid tiles on the bathroom floor (the frustrating part of the weekend!) Gary lent me his vicious looking tile cutter and during Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning I cut tiles and now the bathroom looks very different. I hate DIY and the big hurdle was actually convincing myself I could do it and I think I heard the words ‘I can’t do this!!!’ quite a few times. Quite amazing how our thoughts can hold us back, as it turned out I could do it after all …

… tonight I attended my first MOOT big service. It was great to have a lot of unrushed silence to ‘wait for Christ to come and be born among us’ in the season of advent. I think this is one of the few experiences where I have not felt that the silence has been rushed. After this last hectic week it was just cool to be able to sit and wait…

Last year I remember saying at the start of the year that I wanted to try new things … well this weekend I managed it!
