Snow! But not much…

Late this afternoon it started snowing heavily. Great big, fat floaty flakes, doing crazy dances in the wind as they whirled around frantically, as if trying to escape the inevitable touchdown and oblivion as they melted into a watery slush.

The Hunting of a House

The search for a house for next year is on! Yesterday Steve, Ben, Ian and myself went to look at our first potential house (Tom, the fifth housemate, couldn’t make it then). We decided it was too small – the living room was barely big enough for five people to comfortably be in there, let […]

2005 is upon us

Happy New Year! 2005 is upon us already. And what a year it’s been for me… I’ve passed my A-levels, learnt to drive, led a church service in Welsh, asked a girl out for the first time, tried to understand how God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibility go together, gone off to university, made new friends, […]
