I've officially given up on being carbon friendly to this poor planet of ours...
My cousin invited me to her birthday party and since I've owed her a visit for about 10 years now and have that weekend free, I figure I'm beyond excuses. It's no good for the bank balance. That's as shot as my carbon offsetting plans.
Argh!!
I'm really looking forward to going. Like I say, I've not visited her for year, not properly at least. We've seen each other in passing a few times. I've not yet seen her flat or met her mates where she now lives etc. It's exciting!!
At least I've got some baby trees growing in pots in my yard which is more than some.
I really should invest in bamboo plants since they're the best thing for carbon offsetting and growing paper-making fibre!! One day I'll buy myself the piece of forest I want to purchase and in the undergrowth of the big big trees that've been growing there for years I'll hide some bamboo.
If you know any pandas, pass the word on ;)
I'm listening to some really odd and totally fab music at the moment. For some reason my salsa radio timed out a while ago and I'm now listening to Putamayo which is world music from such places as Sri Lanka, Tahiti, India, Europe, Africa and South America... At least that's what i guess it all to be. Fab stuff anyhow!
So i'm looking at France once a month throughout May-August if all goes to plan. I'm due back at Claire's in July for a visit I've promised her; during which I'll see my friend S again. S's twin girls will be baptised while I'm there. Then end of August I'm due to babysit Tristan and Iliana for a weekend.
I get the feeling Fabrice isn't going to complain about this :)
Oh! F's getting his ID in order so I'm expecting a visit sometime.
Now that rocks :)
Huh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've just looked at the time of my previous blog and realised something I don't rememeber noticing until now! half past midnight is written down as 12:39 am!!!!!
Eeeeek! I hate 12 hour clocks, but this really takes the mickey! 39minutes past midnight is 0039 and that is that! I can't cope! My brain is about to fry. 1239 is half past lunch, end of, no argument.
Huh!! Rhysicles please do something about this?? It's all wrong!
I'm not thinking about it. Not thinking about it! Not thinking about it...
My little lesson for today is converse with God as I would with anyone else on the basis that He may know everything about me but He wants me to tell Him about it all to build our relationship. Otherwise it remains factual knowledge about me which He won't do anything about since it's my life and He only butts in when I ask Him to do so...
Isn't my King an awesome gent!!
It does mean I have to talk, ask, tell, share & give Him what's in my heart, mind, body & soul, all of my life. That makes me vulnerable right, but I like the payoff.
I can't think of a bigger perk than having the King of Kings looking out for me.
Specially when He sends me little helpers like each and everyone of you who read these words, know me, spend time with me, put up with me, put your arms around me, love me & look after me so many ways :)
