Sorry I've not posted for a while - been busy and do not (yet) have internet access at home. Lots has happened since I last posted, so here's a brief summary of exciting events in the past week or two.

* I went to a very good 30th birthday party last week (happy birthday Wood!!!) which was great because there were a number of wiblogers there (including Blonde with Baby Blonde, Ramblin' Folkie, Burnt Sienna, Lemly, and of course Wood (though hes not techniquely a wibloger). There were also people there that I knew from various other organisations, like Swansea Chaplaincy and SCM, and people who are friends of friends who I can finally put a face to their name!

* My placements going ok, though generally it can get boring because I'm mostly only observing the health visitor. This morning, however was an exception. I was out with a very energetic and bubbly midwife. Several people commented that we would make the perfect match, but to be honest, she was just scary! It made me wonder though, if my over-excitedness has a similar effect on other people. Do people get scared by my excitedness?

* A major advantage of community placements though, is that the hours are VERY nice. I often finish early in the afternoon, as I did today, which meant I could check out the freshers fair. I had great delight in telling the enthusiastic Christian Union members that I did not want to come along to any of their meetings or bible studies. Not wanting to be too nasty, I simply told them I was too busy. I'm sure they now think I'm going to rot in hell, but I don't care what they think.

Theres a lot of other stuff going on at the moment, but its all very complicated. I might attempt to cryptically blog about it at the later date. For now though, prayers go out for all involved.
