Today has been fun nd interesting. I had my lesiurely start by driving up to work and arriving late morning. Then my new boss arrived to visit my customer and myself. I must say that he is a marked improvement on the Chocolate Teapot I used to have. It sounds like he'll be a pleasure to work with.

I'm looking forward to tonight's match. I'm really hoping that Englnd lose so that they meet Germany in the next match. There's something about England v Germany that always gets my blood going. I think its the anticipation of the tabloids going into meltdown when England lose....

I've also begun initial planning on my fundraising idea for the Chapel. If I can get it to work it could help them raise a slice of the necessary funds. I just need to see if it is feasible and what the costs would be. I think it would be a fundraising scheme in conjunction with another charity and not just for the Chapel - after all how many people would be interested in helping a small, unarchitectually significant building to meet its future needs?

To answer a question:

We do not tithe. I know that Pastor Chugabug would like to do that but I don't think that many people could afford to. We are a small church on a council estate. The main body is over the age of 65 and several of the wage earners are in low paid jobs or on benefits. We are surprised at how much some are willing to give and somewhat shocked that the best givers were, in fact, 2 of the oldest members.

Therefore I think that much prayer will be called for.
