Olympics

The Olympics are coming!
I am so sick of this rubbish already, It has cost this country a fortune in unnecessary expenditure. We have sold them the roads throwing taxpayers money out the window to  dress up the inner city slums so the tourists can see how crap it is. All for a few weeks when the idiots who don't want a real job can tell each other how great it is to be a sportsman.
 Lets face it, it didnt do greece any good did it.

Weekend

So the last weekend of my week off.
Yesterday I went to outer london with my daughter for a mooch around.
Found the best sushi bar I have ever eaten in. Its called atari in Golders green. It made up for the disappointment of the salt beef bar being closed.
Learning guitar, I started again this week. It is slow going and I dont hold out much hope.

Food.
We have been eating pretty plain old fare so not much to say there, passtas and sauce italian style meatballs and rice. Steak and chips tonight. I cook the steak in french style and do nice thin chips. Great with a good salad and maybe some nice wine.

Church tomorrow. then back to work monday.
Home life is wildly varied between being fed up and feeling used and mildly pleasant at best, if I get left alone to my own affairs.

God is good and in everything.

week off

So,
I finally get a week off.
The last week has been awesome and I am afraid It felt really good. I am sure there will be a downside its just a matter of time.
I can only give thanks to The Lord for getting me through it. I am really nothing special, just a bloke, but I have pretty much IMHO the best job in the world. O.K I just manage security in a little town hall and a couple of buildings and events, but I had saved lives, stopped suicides and given people a second chance.
Put out fires and managed evacuation procedures. Stopped thefts and caught criminals.
It really amazes me I always wanted to be the guy that saves the day and is the big hero and now Praise the Lord and all glory to Him I seem to be that guy, the thing is like in the die hard films , you are just a guy who is in the wrong place at the wrong time and have to deal with whats going down.
No recognition really, no thanks but you feel good inside for a while. Then In my case you question yourself, did you do enough could you have done more. That kind of thing.

Anyway, I'll get my guitar fixed this week and chill.
BTW cooked s really amazing pan fried duck breast in orange and brandy glaze a couple of days ago. I even impressed myself which is rare.
God is awesome.

June

Wow, nearly mid June already.
The weeks have flown by and summer has still not arrived.
Life has been largely horrible as usual, turbulence in the household with ione thing  or another. We didn't flood praise God but the arguing has intensified amongst the inmates.

On the work front it has been marvelous though. Super busy dealing with the police over a number of issues including  a theft by persons unknown. As well as liaising with the fire brigade about some changes to how we do things.
If I had the time I would like a real life outside this place but a lot of it would seem boring by comparison its like living in a t.v somedays like Jerry springer some days like cops or an ambulance or fire drama.
God is awesome.

what a week

I had been threatening to update this thing this week however it has been really challenging.
Monday was the usual mayhem and chaos at work, until we had 3 floods in different rooms; one was in the cafe and 2 in the council chamber. It rendered both rooms useless for days As well as this the road outside my house flooded so I had to go home to prevent the house flooding too.

We had preparations for ofsted inspections which made a lot of hard work.
For the life of me I still can't understand why but everything has really been getting on top of me. I have been trying really hard to get closer to God and walk according to his ways and be a good Christian. However I have been getting more stressed and angry, along with depression and frustration both at work and at home.
I have been feeling alone and used, by family and friends alike and it gets me down.
Maybe  more about this later.
However I suspect it has been because I was preaching   few weeks ago as well as having a discussion with a couple of lds guys.
Who knows.
God is good and he is faithful and will bring us through all thesee trials.

End of May

So its nearly the End of May already.
The world as we know it hasn't ended.
The offices wasn't trashed and no one was hurt Friday, despite all the hype.
Though we have had a few "interesting" occurences and some threats and choice words bandied around.
The weekend was pretty uneventful, despite it being a little frosty at home.
Took the girls to a farm Saturday. Not much to tell except that we all smelt of pig crap for a while afterwards.
Took a couple of photo's of the sheep and goats.
Church was quiet Sunday and I felt out of sorts all day for no good reason.

New Week

Well,
had a good weekend ! No row indoors for the first time in an age, the weather was like an English pre summer should have been and My sermon went well. Only the second time I have taken the service, the place needs a shake up and I hope I have started that.

I had hoped the weather was going to continue but its already getting grey and more like warsaw out there.
Been doing a bit off tweeting, still new to twitter and dont even know if it goes anywhere, certainly no one has bothered with it to my knowledge.
Much like this I suppose. still.
Had a lovely bit of roast beef Sunday, slow cooked it cant go wrong, especially with a reasonable red wine.
Fantastic!
