yesterday i went home from work just after lunchtime as my student didn't turn up. i managed to sleep from 3-7pm and then from 12.30am until getting up at 7.45 am this morning. i am so tired all the time (maybe now from oversleeping though) but i am hoping that this is just because it has been a very long term and there are still 3 weeks to go!

last night we were round at ant and caroline's with others from our little church and we were recording a small sketch for the advent prayer stations. we spent most of the time in hysterics at steve ward's sheep impression and then we were laughing at our ability to hum 'while shepherds watched...' - ant is compiling it all and it will bring a very jolly and festive feel to the contemplative space in st tom's! (the prayer stations are up and running from 1st december for two weeks).

HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all americans. although this is not an engllish celebrations, we do actually happen to be going to a thanksgiving dinner party tonight!
