Blog apathy

Dear readers. I apologise for lack of bloggage. My life is pretty much completely uneventful at the moment and I don’t want to bore you with the small details of my day. I am reading books and writing essays. And trying to sit in the sun at lunchtime to get a little bit of a tan! My essay deadline is the 16th May. 15 days. Oh my word. I have one whole essay to do, and 3 to polish-up a little. After that perhaps I will become a normal functioning person again. Let’s hope. In the meantime, I wish you very pleasant Spring days, filled with delicate sunshine, gorgeous blossoms and sweetly-singing birds. If anything more exciting than books and essays happens to me, I will surely let you know!

Oh, I haven’t blogged about dieting since I supposed started my Tesco online diet. I didn’t exactly follow the strict guidelines but I did get into the way of thinking about what I am eating again, which is good. I have also started going for walk/jog/runs in the nearby wooded area/forest/Sarka Valley. It is really wonderful apart from the many millions of bugs that seem hell-bent on flying straight into me! I’m really not the biggest fan of bugs, so this is somewhat annoying, but apart from that, it is good for both body and soul to be in God’s beautiful creation! I also go to gym once a week and I’m trying to do some Pilates too, but that’s a bit challenging as I am trying to teach myself… (which is much more difficult that learning to play ‘Wild Thing’ on the guitar when you are 13 years old)

Anyway, I’m not thin yet, even though I been to the gym 4 times! What is that about?!

Snow!

It snowed yesterday in Prague, and everything looks absolutely beautiful! I love snow! I have taken some photos, which I will post hopefully later on this evening…

I’m in the library, working on my second paper… I have around 2000 words of a 5000 word essay. Its for Wednesday. I guess it will be OK, I hope… But I’m also leading church on Sunday, which needs some preparation etc. At least I’ve done it once before and I know what to expect now, and hopefully I’ll not feel as nervous… (although I doubt that very much!)

 

Diet is going OK, not bad, not really fabulous or anything… but OK. Why do I have to love peanut butter SO much?! Its just so so good, I honestly think that I could eat a whole jar in one sitting (with some ice cold milk to accompany it!)…. hmm. I’ve not had dinner and I’m starting to salivate just at the thought. Oh, temptation is around every corner!

(Its all about the crunch by the way… no creamy rubbish for me!)

hello…

Its been nearly a week since I last blogged, and I do feel that I should apologise… I just haven’t really been that inspired recently! Studying is going OK, my essay on Julian of Norwich and Hildegard of Bingen, two medieval mystics, is slowly progressing.

Tonight Phil and I had the fun job of sorting out what we are going to do with the Sunday School kids tomorrow. Phil is in charge of the older ones and I am in charge of the younger ones (coincidently Phil is with the boys and I am with the girls!)… There are workbooks for both our groups, but they are amazingly tedious and a little patronizing. Phil has managed to organise a lesson with his set topic, but I just decided that it was impossible and so Christian Aid’s ‘learn zone‘ came to the rescue. So, tomorrow morning, the girls of Sarka Valley Community Church will be learning about health issues for kids the same age as them, who live in different parts of the world, and thinking about how we can support them and pray for them.

 

In other news, I have decided to stop being a bit fat fatty and regain my youthful figure (erm…). Phil is no help as he can eat whatever he wants (plus some) and still stay lean, in fact, I think that his Northern Irish family honestly question whether I feed him or not..! (Obviously, that would be the only way that he would be able to stay alive… if I fed him!) So, with that fact in mind, I have joined Tesco’s online eDiets… its pretty cool and a fair bit cheaper than Weight Watchers online equivalent. I will also endeavour to go for those so called ‘runs’ when I can too… although, it is more likely to be a brisk walk. The IBTS campus is set in a beautiful forest, which is also a National Park, so really, the idea of going for a lovely walk or run should be hugely inticing, but the truth is, is that I am a major wimp. I don’t mind walking around in Prague city on my own, because even if I get lost there are always people around, but if its just me, my iPod and the trees, I think I’ll get a wee bit jumpy..! I’ll just have to get over it though… or starve myself… which doesn’t sound so great. So, here’s goes!
