what a relaxing few days I've had!! again!!
I love this working part time lark. I've got 8h overtime this afternoon.
I've just had 3 whole days off reading, sewing, chatting with friends, generally havin a relaxing time and doing things at my own pace after the 3 shifts from the bank holiday weekend being so rough. I needed it. I knew so but that doesn't take away how nice it's been. Just had a bath (after moving the jungle out of the tub of course! had to scrub the thing before filling it...) and I'm munching on olives once more.
Does anyone fancy going shopping for me I wonder? I need some milk, maybe bread too, and mincemeat for tomorrow's tea... THe joy's of getting meals at work. I don't always agree with what's on the menu. I have a sneaky suspicion that since it's Friday we yet again have spag bol for tea, ok but bored of it. My kingdom for a meat pie!!! Monica makes a MEAN meat pie. I kid you not. What a treat they are. top filling in top pastry. I'm fussy about pastry and she meets the mark. Good one. Maybe Monday eve, who knows.
On weds eve I was invited down the pub but thought it was too miserable out, then my mate Rach rang and had nothing planned so, being lazy and all that, I invited her round. Chatted, had dinner, watched Joan of Ark. Joan of Ark's an old story I know quite well from school. Not surprisingly I learnt about her. The French like Jane! She's still a hero of sorts even today.
Jean luc Besson's film is gory (when are his films not!!) but very thought provoquing.
I like the odd way Jane's visions are done, and that creepy character Dustin Hoffman plays in her head. Faith in God has it's odd days. Wondering whether I know my God as well as I hope, knowing I am so far from really knowing Him, that there is so much more to Him, that it is so easy to step out of line and yet so easy to be well guided by Him but still stopping short with doubt and then finding peace, resting in trust in Him.
Weird film really. How do you get in the head of a girl dead centuries ago who's got so many legends and so much folklore around her... The portrayal of the 'Mother Church', now there's an even creepier thing... How lost we can get! Any of us. I hope I never get complacent about God's people and his immense Grace extended far and wide beyond my understanding.
iTunes is playing Shine Your Love, my mate Dave wrote that. It's a brill little song. So glad I've got a copy of it. Prayer to God to shine around thru our lives... What Hey!! Amen!
I'm thinking of stewarding Greenbelt to manage to go this year. I want to hear Martin Joseph again. (Let An Angel Walk With Her) I hope I can get the right shifts to be able to go... A/L is precious.
Time to get sorted for work.
Ciao ciao!
