Catch up!

Sorry it's been so long, time just seems to be getting away from me. Bill was away this weekend from weds to Sunday. So I am pooped. Mum and dad are in Cornwall with my sis and bro in law and Bill goes away again this Friday till Sunday too.

I am planning on doing a 5 mile run on Thurs with my buddy. We haven't run this far yet but comfortably manage 4 miles so it should be ok. We have our 10k (just over 6 miles) on 21st Nov. It seemed so far away for so long but now it is coming way to quick. The weather here at the mo is horrid, grey, cold and wet. Praying for a sunny, calm, cold day on the 21st as we are running along Brighton beach walk!

Not much else going on here, kids doing well at school. Elway is just adorable, I have never met a cat that will put up with what my children put him through but he does and actually seems to enjoy it. Planning Christmas here already. I have been Phoenixing since school went back in Sept but this is the first time we will be having Christmas here in our own home by ourselves. We can't wait. Probably going to cheat on the food though and get everything pre prepared from Marks and Spencer!!! Well it is my Christmas too. I've also signed up for Christmas Choir Candlelight service. I LOVE this service, I go to it every year by myself. Bill puts the kids to bed for me and I just go and be at peace, I have read at it before but never sung. Anyone who knows me will now be laughing!!! I freely admit I am not the best singer but I am very enthusiastic which I pray will be enough!!!!!

Much love
xx

Its awesome how great you are doing with the running. Your Christmas sounds wonderful. I hope the time Bill is away passes quickly for you. That is tough!

I've always heard that God does not judge you on your singing abilities, but on the fact that you are singing his praises! Sounds like a wonderful holiday season. Do your psrents know if they are going to be able to go home for Christmas yet?

Hey, just sing loudly and forget about being in key - I'll be behind you somewhere, so the two of us can just belt it out knowing that God turns our noise into beautiful praises for Him!

Cool, we're both having Christmas at home instead of going out. It's such a comforting thought to me :)

Sounds like our weather is very similar. I'm really crossing my fingers for some early snow!

Good luck at your running, miss. It's all very inspiring to me and I can't wait to get back at it myself.

That is SO funny about Elway! Josh is always bothering our cats- but they completely LOVE him?!? The second he falls asleep they are snuggled next to him:)
