Last night I had a lovely evening out with some friends from my Mum's prayer group. Zoe had invited us all over to her flat for drinks, nibbles and fellowship. Not many could join us but it was a really pleasurable evening with the five of us that could make it.
Zoe served some lovely Olives, feta cheese and stuffed tomatoes and some twisty cheese straws and vegetable crudites with delicious homous dip.
We enjoyed glasses of wine, schloer and fruit juice and listened to each other's favourite music albumns (both Christian and non Christian music) and chatted about life and friendship.
It was quite a late night so it was a struggle to get up early this morning to lead my Children's work group at Church this morning. It was both mine and my friend Claire's last morning on purple Cogs as we have both asked to move up to green cogs in September when our boys move up to the next group. I will miss my black t-shirt and can't say I am looking forward to being dressed in bright bottle green on my serving weeks but then God probably doesn't want me to select my serving opportunities based upon my fashion preferences!
We were a team member down today, as one of our friends was unwell but with help from Seb and our friend Hannah and another mum that stayed with her son, we were able to take nearly all the children that were attending today.
It was a really calm morning and all the children settled really well and played happily and nicely together, no incidents today which was wonderful. Fran came down to help the Children do some painting on canvasses that will later be hung on the walls.
With the parents prior agreement we stripped the children down to their nappies for the painting activity to keep their clothes clean and paint-free. Little ones look so cute in their nappies and they all seemed to enjoy the painting.
After church, Seb's friend Josh invited him back to hang out at his house.
David, Nat and I had a quiet afternoon and I savoured the opportunity to take a quick nap.
We had been planning to go down to Arundel late afternoon to see our Nephew Paul and his band (http://www.reverbnation.com/kryptontheband#!) play in an outdoor festival there. Unfortunately we had to cancel our plans as, following a a complaint from the festival yesterday which resulted in a noise abatement order, none of the bands scheduled to play today were allowed to play.
Our friends Kevin and Kim invited us in for a coffee and chat when we went to collect Seb.
Back home Seb cooked dinner again. A really delicious pasta carbonara and Starwberry cheesecake for desert.
We have just heard the weather forecast for Bank Holiday Monday tomorrow - rain, rain and more rain on the way!!
