More of the same

December 17th, 2006

So, we’re getting into writing this blog a bit more, we’ve had some comments back, and Dan is starting to even up the score a little more with writing more posts.

But for those who want less of the new, here’s some of the continuity business:

- Yes, we both still go to work too…Dan continues to be able to walk to work, and I head off on the bus. It’s fair to say that I’m probably out of the office more often than he is, with visits to schools or briefings etc, but he’s also out around the city meeting clients. Sometimes we even get a week where we are both in the office every day, which is actually quite nice.

It’s easy to stay late at work, and we have over the years. We’re now trying to work more regular hours, and for Dan to work less at home during evenings and weekends. Even though Dan’s business has been going for a few years now, it’s still quite a breakthrough to manage more free time outside working hours.

- We continue to be part of a church small group, meeting once a week in each other’s homes. There’s a lot of mutual support, prayer for each other and for additional people who’ve previously been part of the group, often internationals who are back home in e.g. America, Australia etc, plus other church friends working abroad.

This term we’ve been looking at different psalms. Each person has taken it in turns to choose a psalm that we discuss together. We’ve also had some different approaches, including writing our own. It’s been fun to see which ones people have chosen, and why.

- I’m part of the worship team at church, and get the chance to sing as part of the team around once a month. Dan also does some web work for the Africa Fund, and occasionally advises for the church website. So, if it gains a blog, you may have a guess where the idea came from…

- We continue to see my parents regularly, and tend to meet up every two or three weeks. As they’re up the road in Peebles, about an hour away from Edinburgh, we’re able to see each other fairly straight forwardly. You can read about some of our time together in Out and about, or Family.

The discovery of our thirties: how much of what we describe is more of the same, one way or another. But we’re still grateful to be who we are, where we are, and with a few new things thrown in too, hence all the topics in Out and about etc.
