Just checking in!
Seem to have been really hectic recently, hence lack of blog - arrg! We're hosting the Row'd training session tonight, which I'm really excited about - if this gets taken up by the local Churches, it is not beyond the realm of possibility that every year 6 child in the area could have a chance to hear about the basics of Christianity and be given the opportunity to plug into some local youthwork, which I happen to think is very cool, if not quite a challenge for the local Churches!
I enjoyed a rare night to myself last night, so Colin and I took ourselves off to see the film Sahara. How to describe it... an American war ship gets lost in the African desert, (no, really) bringing plauge and pestilence to the area. Or it possibly could be the massive toxic waste dump next door posing as a solar energy plant, (no, really) run by an evil frenchman, (no really),which unless he is stopped by our brave heros (armed with little more than some rope, eyeliner, a few camels and 150 yr old explosives against an army run by an evil African warlord with tanks and guns and helicopters and stuff) risks poisining the entire earth? It was, erm, utterly far fetched, a bit sexist, riddled with plot flaws, cliques and absuritities, and was completely devoid of anything that could be used usefully in youthwork ... however in spite of all of this it somehow managed to be quite entertaining and laugh out loud! More of a 'cheeseburger,' of a film than a pan fried fillet of Salmon on a bed of leaves, if you get me!
Right, off to get row:d :)
