glad to hear things are starting to get cold in the UK. sadly things are starting to heat up this end of the line. i remember like it was yesterday going to bed with a hot waterbottle in my sleeping bag under a big double duvet whilst still partially clothed. ahh heene road.
it has been good making friends here (as i mentioned in my philosophical rant in the last blog) yet it dawned on me that because of everything im doing here and the whole reason im here it is hard to build lasting friendships. everything i do here whether it be to do with the church or anything else is all linked into the whole bigger picture of my experience in this culture. so in some respects making friends feels a bit like going to work. unlike in worthing if i wanted to detach myself from the stress of working for the church, i could go and hide somewhere, but here it is impossible to find anywhere to retreat to. even my home and friends, outside of the church, cannot help me with this one. they are all part of my life here and i cannot escape it.
having said all that i havent really wanted to escape...yet. even someone with the best intentions still needs to find somewhere quiet where they can punch the wall.
...........change of subject needed
still looking at hummingbirds on ebay. its still going to be a while before i can afford one but there is a plan set in motion. i dread to think what has happened to jo-anna (my takamine) in the hands of joseph witchurch. i need another girl to name the next guitar after...any suggestions?
live long and prosper.
Ben.
