First the drumming!!
Calling all you drummers out there:
On 8th July 2006 PressureWorks are aiming at beating a record in support of Make Poverty History campaign. The focus now is Trade Justice and as 8th July marks a year since G8, Edinburgh, the aim is to remind our governments of what they've signed up to.
Here's the page with the local events www.pressureworks.org/dosomething/act/250506_drum.html
It sounds like fun as well as being a great excuse for a get-together and to bang on drums loudly and with a purpose.
Human Traffic... Stinks, reaks and is wrong!
Erm. Yeah, but that wasn't what I was going to say but hey.
Oh yes! There was an letter in a local freebie paper about forced (not arranged) marriages being a form of slavery. It's reminded me of this:

I wrote back to the Walsall Observer giving them details about STOP THE TRAFFIK. I hope it gets published and gathers some more support for this Most Excellent campaign.
I've got a load of their petition postcards which I keep meaning to give out to Church. Will rmb 1 day. :)
And finally, the Dried Frog Pills
Guy's been taking them since Tuesday.
I've been at work every pm since then which has to be 1 of the most frustrating experiences and yet has bee a release. I've been worried but had to renew trust that he's in good hands, the Best Hands in fact.
What is a little crap but good on another level is the fact that Guy's slept incredible amounts over the past 4 days. I think he's probably gone to bed when I've left for work and got up when or soon after I've got back and then seems to have slept the nights too. The last 2 days he's also slept til lunch of a morning. I think it needs to not carry on too long but for now I actually reckon he's catching up on a month or 2's rest that he's been missing out on through the anxiety and fear.
I don't know what to do about food though. He only eats what i put in front of him, so if I'm not there (teatime each day I work a late, breakfast and lunch if it's an early) he doesn't eat. Tuesday he had a bread and butter sandwich. Not very nourishing...
Mom's being a star and Dad's in France on a job again.
Still need some local input I think. I don't know what to ask for though.
Maybe evening meal invites when I'm out. I'm unsure. WIll think about it. I'm not very good at asking for things so feedback'd be ace too.
