Today has been a great day for catching up friends, but that is not what I had planned.

I had got the tasks I needed to do out of the way over the last few days with the plan of popping up to London to catch the last days of the Turner Prize exhibition at the Tate Britain. That plan failed as Joe was ill and off school.

The day has been great though, as well as getting future tasks done, due to technology of various parts (facebook, email, telephone) I have been able to catch up with a friend I last saw some 20 years ago, another friend popped in for a cup of tea who I had not seen for ages and spoke to still another on the phone for longer than I would have done if I was wandering in London.

I feel ‘relaxed and content’ after an unplanned good day at home.

Making plans is not all what it’s cracked up to be ya know!
Sometimes it is right to make plans and work within them.
Other times it is right to sit back and wait to see what God brings along.
I do more of the first, and sense I need to do a little more of the sitting back and waiting.
