back to normality...

this afternoon a few stolen minutes were spent lying on the living room floor with the latest vogue that i'd treated myself to; the new pages crinkling beneath my finger tips as each colourful, glossy page was turned for the first time. i felt at home, completely at ease.

yesterday, it was as if somebody had pulled a whole bunch of cotton wool out of my head. i final felt properly fine after a few weeks of rubbishness, jet lag, and general culture adjustment.

the timing was impeccable.

yesterday was also the day when half the world would begin to descend on the house.

this weekend (and the rest of the month) is the church's tenth anniversary so i'm staying elsewhere for the weekend while all rooms are being filled with visitors joining in on festivities.

i've met some crackin people so far, some who i have every intention of keeping in touch with (maybe even with future ventures in mind) but this weekend also comes with a downside. tonight was the first of three very large meals filled with fantastic food and home baked deserts... i'm doomed.

to those who have been inquiring - the gaps will be filled as soon as i get back to my own computer (including saturday shinanigans with the mobile soup kitchen that i've been waiting to process before publishing.)
