My Weekend

I mentioned in the last post that I had an enjoyable weekend, so I thought I might blog about it in more detail.

Saturday was good because I visited a friend I hadn't seen in a while and we played video games, and it was a lot of fun! And then I went to the Saturday church service.

Then on Sunday, in the morning I went to church. The service was a good one. The plan was to afterwards go out to lunch somewhere with Gem from church, but then Yew* was there and he was trying to gather a few people to go out for lunch as a group, so Gem and I decided to go with them, and then another guy, Meerkat said, come to my house instead and I'll cook a heapload of chicken for you!

So a bunch of us went to Meerkat's house and most of us stopped to buy something to contribute to the meal on the way (Gem and I bought bread) and once we got there, we all had a job to do, chopping vegetables or slicing chicken or whatever... (I was slicing chicken) and we all sat down to eat and talked and it was heaps better than going out to eat because it was cheaper and because we all contributed to the meal it was really cool. There is a lot of significance in sharing a meal together, particularly for Christians, and especially when everyone had a part in preparing it.

But because of all that cooking Gem and I were late for the next part of the day that we had planned, which was to go to the synchrotron open day! (and it didn't really make any difference that we were late because the open day lasted all day, just that we had planned to get there by 1:30 but instead we got there by 2) so after lunch we left to go to the synchrotron, and we did a self-guided tour, and we ran into our friend (also from church but not from the morning service) who works there, and a couple of other people also from church who just also happened to be interested in coming to the open day! All the sciency stuff was cool but don't ask me to explain it to you.

Then after that Gem and I met up with a couple of other friends and we went to the movies and saw Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, which I have to say, I loved! And then again, we went straight to evening church. (Yes, I did go to church three times during the course of the weekend, what of it?) Evening church was good and we had the commissioning of one of our members who is going to go to Spain for ministry purposes, so that was a little bittersweet.

There was also soup and cookies and party pies at church.

So yeah, it was a good day! And when I wrote my last post I did mention dad almost ruining it, but he didn't. Because now when I think about my weekend I don't think about dad being grumpy. I think of all the fun I had.

And now... I should probably go to bed.


*(who I should mention I am no longer infatuated with, I have successfully moved on, and he has started dating this other girl who is a totally cool person and there's nothing about that relationship I can criticise.)
