A quick post cos I'm meant to be doing something else but happened to be reading other people's blogs and then felt like posting
Wow that was a long title.
So, yes, details about work....just started this week at Harrison's Phamacy in Broadway (yes, just across the road from where Cat works!), have worked for three days, and what can I say...meh. I don't know if it's like this for most people, but the general feeling is, when you've been at work all day, the last thing you want to do when you come home in the evening is talk about it. Which is unfortunate for my curious parents, who like to ask me lots of questions. (Grrrrr at lack of siblings...)
I'm grateful for the opportunity but at the moment I just feel really dumb and useless, although hopefully it will get better over time. Anyway, work is work and work is money. Which can be used for good things. Just as long as they don't fire me.
Other than that, the week has also been fairly eventful with a carols rehearsal on Thursday night, and on Friday night our crazy last-Glue-of-the-year event...a whole bunch of team-based games, which gave everyone, even the older tertiary people, an opportunity to be loud and fairly hyperactive. (Actually, "fairly hyperactive" would be an understatement for some parts.) Friday night was also special, even by end-of-year standards, because it was the last Glue for all the tertiary people, and for a whole bunch of the leaders....dawww....But that's the way things go, a youth group always gets revamped every so often so it can keep fulfilling the needs of the people it serves, and also leaders will come and go to serve in different areas.
And what else...oh yeah, we had a Glue guitar workshop this morning...probably the first of its kind...we turned up with about three acoustics and four electrics and three amps, not including the church one, and cables everywhere, so it was all fairly interesting...it was the first time we've done something like that so it was a bit improvised, but Dan did a fairly good job of running it (I didn't do much =P)...and importantly I think people got something out of it (and it's always encouraging to see the younger guys improving). Could probably do something like it again, maybe a bit more organised next time...or maybe not, it was kinda good how it was laid back.
Anyway....probably not making much sense now. But it's the carols night tonight! So, I should start getting ready and making my way there to help set up and stuff....this post has turned out longer than I though it would, probably also a bit incoherent. Blah. Yeh. Have other stuff I could write about, but it probably wouldn't come out right...so yes, I shall be off now.

Alexandra and Alan's wedding
Wedding!!!
One of the most most anticipated and best Saturdays all year, don't you think so girls? =D
So it rained, and thundered during the sermon, but I don't think the weather did much to dampen spirits.
To cut a long day short, amidst all the rain, chilly breezes, yummy food, shaky photography, silly pictures, impromptu makeovers, much seat swapping, and pointed jokes about who was going to get married next, there was much love, joy and happiness shared.....and I think that pretty much sums it all up =)
