That was a REALLY wet weekend! It rained sooo much! But I stayed warm and dry in my boots and waterproofs so I was happy. I then visited my parents as they have friends of ours from Romania staying and it was lovely to see them. What I hadn't realised was that the BBQ we were having for lunch my parents had invited the whole church along to - there were over 60 people round our house for lunch! It was mad but cool fun!

Off to Malvern Challenge tonight to get thousands of Scouts and Guides doing silly activities! Should be fun! Then seeing Romanian friends who are staying with my parents on Sunday.

Hello!

Blogging by email worked but in the wrong order - ah well it's a start.
I can now blog from my work machine (the website doesn't work as we only
have partial internet) I can read the blog too but it seems to take a while
to post.

The trouble with blogging more is that I don't have much to say since
yesterday! Well I have a meeting now about the Science and Engineering
Ambassadors for schools scheme which should be interesting.

Experiment with posting by email

Now I'm trying to post by email which should make it easier to post more -
we shall see if it works......

Hmmm

Not sure if my previous attempt at blogging by email worked - perhaps it
takes a while to get posted....

OK I've changed some settings but I'm now linking to Jon twice! Ah well I'm sure he'll take it as a compliment. Should probably learn some html so I know what I'm doing rather than copying random stuff and editing it but never mind.

I'll be at the Malvern Challenge this weekend so I'll see some of you there and then I'm off to my parents as our Romanian friends are staying for a few days.

I will try not to leave as long a gap before blogging again!

OK OK I've had lots of complaints about not blogging so I'm back!

Exciting news is that I've actually applied to join either the Doulos or the Logos 2 - ships which sail around the world with and international crew and sharing a message of peace with everyone it meets! If I get in I'll be off on 30th August which is very soon! see http://www.om.org - it's operation mobilisation that is the organisation which runs the ships and loads of other stuff too.

In other news I've done lots of Scouting, Guiding, Church and Orchestra stuff and looking forward to the National Scout and Guide Symphony Orchestra tour of Estonia. We're doing a concert in the UK before we go so please come along! High Cross Church Camberely (Surrey) 7.30pm 31st July contact djnsgso@yahoo.co.uk for tickets.

I'm now going to try and update all the links to other blogs as lots of people have new blogs - welcome to the world of Blogging James!
