I shall endeavour to do some more of them in the near future.<\/p>\n<p>As for right now, I&#8217;m back working at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.le.ac.uk\/av\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AVS<\/a> during the Easter break which is great. Work has been a little slow recently but I&#8217;m assured it will pick up in the next week or so, although next week when the conference work is a little heavier I&#8217;m actually going to be away in Wales for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newwordalive.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Word Alive<\/a>, which is very exciting! I shall be spending the week in a caravan with 5 other guys from Leicester and getting some excellent teaching from the likes of Terry Virgo, Don Carson and John Piper.<\/p>\n<p>In my last entry I talked about my new guitar, and I&#8217;ve been spending a bit of time learning to play worship music with it. It&#8217;s rather odd having to learn to play music in a completely different style, having learnt to play classical piano I&#8217;m quite good at sight reading and tend to rely on having music in front of me when I&#8217;m playing anything. Playing the guitar for worship is very different! I have a few chords and that&#8217;s about it, working out exactly where the chord changes come and how the strumming should sound is entirely up to me, and it is rather tricky sometimes. I have a lot to thank my Mum for though, she gave me a couple of really useful pointers which have made things much easier.<\/p>\n<p>In other news, Jon has come back to Leicester so I&#8217;m not on my own in the house anymore which is nice. I also managed to muster up enough energy and motivation to actually cook some proper food last night too, so I have a tub of lovely stuff in the fridge ready to eat up, yum! I really need to get back into the habit of cooking regularly. I really enjoy cooking and eating, and even more so when I have friends round, so if you want some munch then drop by my house one evening!<\/p>\n<p>One last note; on Saturday my dear friends Mark and Susanna are getting married! I&#8217;m very excited, and will almost certainly write something about it at the weekend when I get home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been a little slack in writing recently, and I really ought to have kept up with the magical case entries.
