This week holds some interesting things.
- A whole parish is praying for my sermon preparation for next Sunday. The vicar really bigged it up this morning, so no pressure then!
- I have to go back into lectures and try and stay awake. Tuesday morning should be OK, but Thursday afternoon could be pretty horrible.
- Third year New Testament Greek starts - do I remember any of it?
- I do my first shift at Rusk's nursery.
- Rusk has a cold, is teething and is just coming out of a growth spurt.
- Oh and Mr F is away until Thursday so it is just me, Rusk and the cats at home.

To borrow a phrase from Quantum Leap: Oh Boy

It is Strictly time again. Our Saturday evenings for the next 14 weeks will be taken up with watching minor celebrities get (mostly) better at dancing. I sometimes wonder why we watch it. Probably because Mr F spends so long each year sorting out his results website that it would be a shame to waste all that work.

The Saturday evenings are actually not the most interesting part for me: I prefer the BBC2 weekday evening show. It is the journeys they go on that I like, and seeing our favourite professional dancers. Rusk's pre-bedtime feed is at 6.30pm so that fits quite nicely

Things I would like to change:

Bruce Forsyth - replace with the lovely Anton
Bruno - bring a judge with the ability to be fair
Brendan - too slimy
More ballroom specialists among the dancers

Somebody once asked me if the reason I watched was because I was a dancer. Believe me, nothing could be further from the truth.
