I'm back.

No, I didn't have a great time. I didn't even have a good time. Although this was partially due to my period arriving and hence making me rather braindead and miserable.

The only fun bit was the go-karting we did on the first day. The Sunday morning event was *cancelled* so people could watch the *football*. That kind of tells you about the rest of it, really. People being distressingly normal and just sitting around talking about boys and clothes, or football, or knitting and sewing, or gossiping about other people, depending on which group I was with. I spent quite a lot of the time playing with the kiddies' bead thingamies, and reading. I read two books, and they weren't small ones either.

I'm... disappointed. Very disappointed.

Sorry it wasn't what you were hoping for.

How was the teaching?

What was it on?

I suspect student attendance at church yesterday morning was greatly increased by the saturday BT preacher who was talking about Daniel's priorities when faced with a law that if he worshiped God he'd be thrown to the lions.

The speaker drew a parallel saying that if we didn't go to church tomorrow morning because we're watching the football then that means football gets first call in our lives: that it's more important to us than God. This is bad.

Neil, who suffers many tempations in life, football is however not one of them.
