I’m going home today, straight after church. I should be in nottingham by about 20 past 1, in time for sunday lunch. So I will have a chance to see my family, check out my room (which has been decorated) and generally enjoy some good food and relax. Then in the evening I’m going to my cousins confirmation service. This really excites me because I don’t really know much about my extended families faith. I’m pretty sure that everyone on my dad’s side is a Christian, and I know that noone on my mum’s side is. I even had a pleasant chat with my aunt and uncle about it at Christmas time, but I still don’t have a clue what my uncle believes (he’s very closed about it, seeing it as a personal choice). It’s always exciting when someone gets confirmed\/baptised (yes, I know they’re not exactly the same, but I believe the principle of making a public declaration of your faith is), but even more so when it’s a member of my family!<\/p>\n
Yesterday was also much fun. It was Celebrate 80<\/a>, something to do with the diocese of Leicester. It wasn’t a birthday, but it was something important. Anyway, my friend Dan was playing with his band Daylight<\/a> so we went down to the park to chill out, enjoy the gorgeous weather, and listen to Daylight rock out in front of 15,000 people.<\/p>\n Then in the evening we celebrated Jonny finishing his exams by going to the pub for a pint. We sat out in the beer garden of a place called the old horse and enjoyed the evening together. It was a great way to wind down from the exam period, and I think one of my favourite ways to socialise is over a pint in a quiet pub.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m going home today, straight after church.
