Right, are we all here? Do pay attention, we've got a lot to get through...
Busy day at work - deadlines to be met and the like. With the nature of my job being tied in with school terms, and the school holidays being in full swing by now, you could be mistaken for thinking it should all be quiet in the office. Indeed, you would be mistaken; I've come to the conclusion that there really isn't a quiet time of year for us, there's always something going on. It's especially great when you talk to the contact people we liaise with at the schools, and they say something like, "hope you enjoy your break over the summer", and I just think, "we don't really get one, but never mind; speak to you again in six weeks when you're all relaxed and I'm still completely frazzled".
Other things to report? A couple of challenges coming up for me in the next couple of weeks. The first is learning to ride a bike all over again. You know how they say you never forget how to ride a bike? Well, "they" (whoever they are) are liars. I learned to ride a bike when I was eight, and proceeded to spend the next five years zipping about the village, becoming almost inseparable from my two-wheeled transport. Then I went on holiday for a few weeks and when I got home, I was so wobbly on the bike that I never dared get on it again. However, owing to a combination of necessity, convenience and encouragement, I'm getting back in the saddle - ba-doom tish - tomorrow morning, with the help of two housemates (one providing essential moral support, the other providing the even more essential facility of an actual bike). I'm actually not too apprehensive about it now, but only time will tell...
As for my other, entirely unrelated challenge - well, I'd rather not say too much just yet, but I think God's been pushing me the last few weeks about something, and I just have to go for it... but it'll be a week or so before I get to do it... which is long enough for me to either a) brick it, convince myself God was talking to someone else and I just overheard Him, and run away, or b) think it all through logically, reassure myself it'll all be OK, and get ready to do what I've got to do...
However, if you're hoping for updates on any of these situations, you might have to wait a while. I have something specific planned for the next few weeks, which will result in me not posting the usual gibberish for a while. Instead, some unusual gibberish. I'll explain all tomorrow, promise.
And finally... I've been wanting to post this for some time (and now I've learned how to do all that clever jiggery-pokery with YouTube, I can). If you haven't yet discovered Flight Of The Conchords then you're missing out. Their TV show and album are both well worth investigating, particularly if this makes you laugh as much as it makes me laugh (that is, rather a lot):
Night night.
