Something a bit lighter?
I promised on the last blog to come up with something just a bit lighter than the last few posts. This is not to say that our KBC experience has been lightening up, that isn't the case. That's not to say that it has been to heavy to handle either, the Lord doesn't give us more than we can handle through His power. Switching gears dramatically I am very happy because the W on our keyboard is working again, last night and earlier today typing the W was like giving my ring finger an extreme workout. If a single finger could feel tired, this one would feel just that. Something else quite random that I have noticed lately is the joy of Mexican food, it's not that I didn't already love the stuff, it's just that we did not eat much of it here. That has begun to change, our housemates love it as well; black beans and rice, fajitas and grande nachos. If I had the money to start a Taco Bell here that would be an amazing business opportunity, this culture is busting at the seems for Mexican fare. Other than the last couple of days I woke up to absolutely pristine, clear, cloudless mornings, one after the other. I know it's England it's not suppose to be nice weather, well that is true as every afternoon when walking home from school it was either rainy, windy, both or drizzle. Today it was foggy which is the second time this year, the other was when my parents visited and we couldn't even see the roundabout in front of our house. I don't know if the movie "Amazing Grace" is out in America, it may only be an English film. We went to see it tonight, it is the story of William Wilberforce who was the man who spearheaded the abolition of the slave trade in England. The movie is astounding and will have you thinking far into the night after watching, that is what I suspect tonight as my head will hit the pillow soon. Speaking of hitting the pillow soon, why don't Americans use duvets? They are so much better than standards blankets and such. The other object that we need to introduce to America is the kettle, water boils so quickly, no wonder they drink so much tea and coffee here, it is so easy to get the boiled water. I would like to remind my readers that my pick for the NCAA Tournament is still alive - Florida. My rooting efforts will go towards Ohio St. many reasons, some of them being Larry, Jill and Big Ten allegiances, in this case Go Bucks. Thanks for letting me let you inside my head for just a brief time. later
