Mad Thursdays!
Sometimes, I end up doing the most bizarre, amazing or interesting activities in the jobs I do! I have just played handchime in a recording of an impromptu radio signature tune! Hee hee hee!!!
Mad as a swingbin- the lot of them!

Simple minds, simple pleasures.
I found myself pondering on this simple saying this morning, after my lovely boss asked me to take minutes for a meeting which I would not usually attend. Now, minutes aren’t my favourite thing in the world, in fact, I really rather detest them, but I am always happy to help in anyway that I can. However, I remembered, with some delight, that this particular meeting usually has tea and biscuits accompanying it (well, ok, I can’t have the biscuits at the moment!) and as I agreed to it, I enquired as to whether this was indeed a tea-attended. It was indeed, and it made me think about how just a little thing can prove such a pleasure.
I count myself incredibly fortunate, that in this day and age of constant materialism, that I can indeed appreciate the little things, which other people might ridicule me for. Sure I've mentioned Nikki and my little ‘Pollyanna’ style, ‘good things for today’ e-mails that we send each other at the end of the day, which I find a real blessing as they make me think about what an incredible amount of things there are that make my life happy. I count myself lucky, that I have a ‘simple mind’ that can see the little things (even though I indeed can moan as much as the rest of them!) and I thank Jesus so much for that, that he has over the last couple of years, made me realise this.
I may be changing the focus of this, but reading how Jesus taught the Beautitudes, made me think. The poor are blessed, because a simple thing becomes a blessing for them. They do say that rich people do not appreciate things so much! So let’s rejoice today in simple things!

The PROOF that shopping is bad for you!
Ok! I have actual medical truth- Injuries sustained through the aforementioned activity. I have a bruise the size of an APPLE (") and the colour of a plum by the side of my left knee caused by a malevolent packet of Wheetabix!!!!
Oh how I wish I had a digital camera and wasn't such a technodunce, otherwise I'd put a picture up! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

Learning from your mistakes
There is always a good reason for everything Jesus tells us. When he told us,
the lesson there is obvious, but there are other aspects, one of which I have experienced today. I have given up something quite hard for Lent (for me anyway) and I am quite amused by it. I was in a meeting today with my work colleague who said she after the meeting she would go to the canteen and purchase an item which includes my said fasting item, at which point (since the urge to eat said item is still in my system- I think it usually goes after 2 weeks) I sighed, and mentioned my Lent thing. At which point, she commented 'and that my dear, is why I am glad not to be Christian' (or something along those lines), and I just thought- how badly I have am representing being a Christian I know this is just a small thing, but it has stayed in my mind all day. So next time, I decide to give something up, please remind me not to tell anyone about it, and just avoid the issue should anyone ask!!!
"when you do fast, don't not look sombre as the hyprocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you fast. put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, but only to your Father who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret will reward you" (NIV)
