The last days of summer

We've been enjoying a week of brilliant weather. Last night we went with the Mosgiel youth group to Brighton Beach to celebrate the last weekend of Daylight saving, and apart from watching Zak drift swiftly northwards on his boogie board, we had a great time. Fortunately there were lots of strong, tall people who could walk out and drag him back to where we were.

Chris preached at North Taieri on Sunday which was well received.

We are currently negotiating a date for our ordination. This is subject to a congregational meeting next week, March18th, so we will let you know in due course.

Zak spent the afternoon at a friend's place in Mosgiel - can you tell that he is settling into the change? Hannah has found a place in a group of four girls her age, all of whom are blond and love wearing pink. On Sunday we did the story of Jonah, which included piling them all into a tent and opening a tin of fish, for the smell of course!

Janine and Katarina are dividing themselves between Leith and Mosgiel at the moment. We will see how long that lasts as the days grow shorter and it is almost netball season again.

I am working on the final draft of my Research Project and starting to plan the Master's thesis; there are ethical things and paperwork to sort. At least I now have my student card so I can get hold of all those great student discounts!!!
