It was a busy but fairly pleasant weekend this weekend. On Saturday I had training for my new job. For two nights a week from tommorrow night I will be phoning graduates of Exeter to get some contact details and other details and also to try and raise money for the University's Annual Fund. It might prove an interesting job...and i feel slightly better about doing it for the fact that these aren't cold calls (the alumni get letters warning of them beforehand and can opt out) and for the fact that the conversation is not at all hard-sell and a large proportion of it is friendly nostalgic chatter about the University and city. You never know, I may even get to talk to some english graduates to see what on earth they found to do with a BA in english. The training on Saturday I sort of enjoyed (despite myself).
Yesterday after the morning service at Belmont, our house group had a very pleasant bring and share meal (Natasha and I made brownies) the highlight of which was the Lasagne (but of course Derek Burnside's small random salmon things were also brilliant..as was the large amount of bread contributed by Johnny.) It was a lovely couple of ours spent largely watching a very entertaining one and a half year old called Ben.
I also spent some of the weekend starting to write the Holiday Club drama for my home church, ready for late July. I will reveal nothing significant about it here (you never know who reads this thing), other than to say that the first episode features (hopefully) space hoppers.
Anyway, that's about all the random info I have on this weekend.
People that I think are the postman keep wandering past the window. Its not that I'm waiting for any specific post, but I'm one of these people for whom the postman's visit is still a very exciting part of the day.
