I am still alive- been working mostly on that hindu christmas stamps story (for anyone who has seen it) which has been great fun. My last day on this section tomorrow (ooh the nostalgia), and then Mr Fishsoup and i are off to Marrakech for ten days. Very very excited about having a holiday - although SO many things seem to be happening while we're away, as always.

In other news, I saw a cloud with a silver lining today. I know they all have them but this was so bright, standing out against the sun, that it made me smile. It felt like a present.

Oh, and I must tell you about the people who stopped me in lewisham shopping centre the other week and insisted on praying for their "sister" and my "gift of hospitality". Since we had a lot of people coming for lunch I was quite grateful - but bemused. How did they know I was christian? No fishy necklace, no bad hats, no christian bookshop bag.
There are three possibilities, I reckon
a) I dress like a stereotypical christian (if there is such a thing that worries me)
b) They are just very attuned to God?
c) They were stopping everyone and struck lucky (unlikely)

Someone in my housegroup suggested d) they were angels - but that seems more unlikely - although why shouldn't angels hang out in Lewisham shopping centre? (wouldn't be my choice, but each to his own)... but whatever it was, it was encouraging.

And I'm learning to knit. Constant dropped stitches. i was bad at it when I was a kid, and I'm bad at it now
