Well I can finally get to my computer; I had to kick Mandy of it to get here, the reason? We are now on Broadband and it is really cool. I still can't get over the speed that things download. I only have one slight concern and that is the fact that I am always online which means that I feel very vulnerable to the rest of the world, it was ok when I had to connect because I would always be infrount of the computer while I was online just incase anything happed but I can't be here 24/7. So I have got a firewall set up and I have to hope for the best, mind you I don't keep anything on my computer anyway and I don't shop online so I don't think I am a good target anyway.
J is still with us and he has been putting in some long hours at his placement I haven't said more than three word to him in the last 24 hours because we are both asleep or at work, so I will have to wait until that weekend to catch up with him.
Mandy and James are fine but James had go Chickenpox so H has been off school for the week much to Mandy’s dislike because she hasn't had any time to herself this week at all and have been sleeping in because I am on Late's this week so I haven’t been much help either. Anyway I have to be at work soon so I will try and blogg as soon as I can.

Just about to go to bed after watching a film on TV with Mandy today was a good day as well. especially since I got a phone call from my ISP to see if I would like to change to a Broadband Internet Connection for a special one off price and guess what I am going to be on Broadband as off Wednesday and I will be saving money as well.
Any way Bed for me and just a note J is coming to stay for two weeks so I might not get much blogging done.

The gift of Truth conquers all gifts. The taste of Truth conquers all sweetness. The Joy of Truth conquers all pleasures. The loss of desires conquers all sorrows. The Dhammapada

What a good day I have had today. I had a lovely ride to work on my bike and the rest of the day was good because I had a totally stress free day, every thing was fine even to the point that I was beginning to thing that something was going to go wrong but I was proved wrong. One thing that did happen at work today was that for some reason four separate people came up to me and asked me if I believed in God and why did I go to Church. This was very strange because I didn’t start any of the conversations at all and they all came out of the blue. So what did I say well as I like to think that I am a evangelical Christian I told them the truth, that I do believe in God and Why. I also told them that I believe that Jesus did die for me and that through his death on the cross I am forgiven and will go to heaven. The best thing that happened during the conversation was that not one person who asked me about my faith made fun off it, I have a feeling that God has been working.
On another note I took the car to the garage after work to have it looked at and I ended with a free hour and half in town. So I decided to go to a pub and get a drink of coke and sit in a quiet corner and read my book and just chill for an hour. I loved it even more as the pub that I went to had a none smoking area and some nice seats to sit in, even better was the fact that I was the only one in that part so I had the whole time to myself. I didn't want to leave but I decided to have a look at Grantham museum and then walk back to the garage to pick up the car. The museum was good it was the first time that I have been in and it was interesting just to find out about the history of Grantham seeing that I was not born here, I think that I will properly go again.

It has done nothing but rain off and on all day today. I am hoping for the sun to come out and then we can do to Belton House with James.
Mandy and I have been chilling this evening and have watched TV and just spent some time together as James is in bed, he was a god boy and went to sleep strait away. Mandy has Just gone to bed and I think that I will be going very soon as I feel like I need a good nights sleep.
I can't believe that it is only Monday. I know that I am wishing my life away but I can't wait until my next holiday it can't come any sooner for me and think that Mandy is thinking the same. I feel a but fed up with work as I have been told that they will not be replacing any on in our department until September , this means that we will still be short at work until then and it also means that we will have to cope with all the hassle that comes our way to. I Just love work right now.

What Can I say about today it has certainly been interesting to say the least. I have been trying to keep away form the world cup but I couldn't help but notice that the was no one at work today because of the England game. it was like walking into a ghost town at 14:00 today. I felt like I was the only one who wasn’t skiving of work. The best thing was that we didn't start the line up until we got the right number of people to run it because the was so many people of work. So I can say the Football has done one good thing for me as we all got to stand around for a time doing nothing.
The rest of the day has been fine apart from the fact that it has been raining when ever I got chance to see the outside world. I hope it will get better.
I came home to find Mandy watching Big Brother on TV she was happy to se me and told me that ALISON was out. I had a feeling that it would be her but hay it is only a game on TV. That’s about it for today as I have a service to prepare for Sunday, I just have some songs to chose, and then I will go to bed.

Thursday, June 06, 2002

I keep coming home and falling asleep in fount of the TV then waking up at some early time of the morning that is why I am late getting in fount of the computer tonight because I have just woken up.
The rest of the day has been fine Mandy and James are well and I am looking forward to the weekend. That’s about it for today I think that I will go to Bed.

When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long. Take the reason of the thing into your mind, and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power. — Phyllis Bottome

I have just arrived home from Yorkshire and am feeling very tiered after a long drive down the A1, but I wish that the weekend wasn't over because Mandy and I have had a good long weekend. Mandy and I both managed to catch up on some sleep and James had been with his grand parents which he has loved.
I think the best part of the my time away was going for a walk around Lake Gormire with James and his Nanny, it was just nice to walk and spend time talking and take in the views. The water in the lake was so clear and the view of Whitestone Cliff was fantastic with the afternoon sun hitting it. we could see walkers on the top looking down on us. James loved playing in the trees around the lake and he even went for a paddle in the lake with his boots on. I think that we will be walking there more often.
The only sad thing now is that I have to go back to work tomorrow.

We can see well into the past; we can guess shrewdly into the future; but that which is rolled up and muffled in impenetrable folds is today. — Ralph Waldo Emerson

I feel like I have just been working all week and haven't had any time to myself. Well actually I have so again that is why I haven’t been online for most of the week. I have been on mornings this week which means that I am feeling very sleepy and I keep falling asleep when ever I sit down so that thought of coming up stairs to sit inforount of a computer has been one of the last things that I wanted to do. and to top it all I have been at work today as well so I haven't even had a good lie in lie I normally do on a Saturday.
As for the rest of the day the sun has been out and I think that Summer has finally got here but for how long I don't know. I for one hope that it stay for the rest of the weekend at least. As I am on a mission to stay out of the way of the world cup football because I hate the hole game of football. The thought of four more week of it on the TV is doing my head in already so I have am trying to keep out of the way so that I don't have to see any of it. The funny thing is that on my digital TV I seem to have got lots of new channels to look at I was quit excited about it until I found that they were there because of the foot ball do you can guess how I feel about them now. I think that I will have to buy a walkman for work as well because every time I go for a sit in the canteen all that I can hear is football on the radio so I can't even get away from it at work. one good thing it the England are playing tomorrow while I am at Church so I won't have to see any thing at all which is even better.
That's about all for now I hope to be spending some time in Yorkshire for the rest of the long weekend so I will see what happens.
