Orton Mere

Yesterday I finally took a day off…a real one…and did no work at all (minus a phone call!) and having Jo around in Peterborough seemed to be a good excuse for a wander in the sunshine. One of the bonus’ of Peterborough is that you can drive to beautiful countryside/nature areas within about 5/10 minutes, so we went to a place called Orton Mere and followed the path up to Ferry Meadows before having lunch and wandering around some more.

Of course the downside of the lovely weather is pollen which has invaded my nose rather dramatically the last couple of days.

I also saw the ‘Sex and the City’ movie last night having never watched the show on TV and I’ve concluded that the movie is similar to Macdonalds, in that it’s watchable yet complete crap really…it’s junkfood for the mind….don’t think I’d see if again or watch the TV show, but it was alright.

Lubricating Peterborough

Here is the working poster for our water give-out we’ve been doing the last couple of months at church. We’re out on the streets of Peterborough again this friday until 2am handing out water and chatting to people! Fun, fun fun!

SSG Bankrupt?

This post from Dave Walker’s blog suggests that SSG (folk to ‘run’ SPCK shops) have filed for bankruptcy, I don’t know what the effect for the UK SPCK shops will be but I guess we’ll see how it pans out…

Itunes tour, website and more…

I feel like blogging even though I have nothing real to blog about as such.

I finished uploading the beautiful new version of Stand For Christ this morning, this is probably the biggest face-lift I have ever given the website, the focus has changed, the Relient K fansite has become separated from stc and now lurks at www.relientk.himynameismark.co.uk and I’ve had several content shuffles behind the scenes…and the whole site is functional…other than a few youth work games which I’m in the process of adding.

Itunes tour – My A to Z itunes tour has took me onto R now and I’ve done the Chili Peppers and Reel Big Fish and currently onto the awesome Relient k!

More – There isn’t much else to blog on really, so perhaps more in the title was a slight lie!

Advertisement!

I figured seeing as tomorrow is the day I’d post this advertising the brand new version of my website ‘Stand For Christ’ which will include a whole host of youth work resources, photos, forums and more!

Whilst I finish off the site this evening I won’t blog…however expect new posts in the next few weeks!

The Bird’s and The Bee Sides

I have excitedly just pre-ordered the new Relient K EP ‘The Bird’s and The Bee Sides’, I say EP but actually it’s over 70 minutes along because the band have packed so much onto it…plus they are giving another whole host of songs away as downloads when you buy the album…they have been busy boys!

In other news I’m seeing Ben Folds in Sheffield in just over a month which I’m pretty excited about too….so much musically is happening! yay!

I’m back!

I’ve just spent the weekend doing the youth work for St Andrew’s Church Gorleston at Letton Hall, it’s been a weekend of glorious weather and has been so much fun, it marks the end of a very busy week what with portfolio’s handed in, youth work done and uni complete for the year which means I can sleep tonight…and probably most of tomorrow!

It also means normal blogging will resume…the new Stand For Christ launches thursday too!
