In training...
My wife and I are doing an epic amount of time on the train in the coming weeks - in fact we are spending 5 weekends in a row on the train, over 24 hours, covering about 1500 miles in the process. It's a good job we like trains. If you know me at all you probably know I like getting cheap train tickets in advance, and this is no exception, and it is probably the greatest number of train tickets I have ever had in my possession at any one time. So I got them all out and took a picture...
Bon voyage to us, and may our delays be few. At least the weather seems like it's going to be alright - our most delayed train journey came last year as we left an hour earlier than planned, arrived over 2 hours late and went a completely different route to the one planned, as it happened to be the wettest day of the century so far... surely nothing that bad can happen again? Never mind if it does, for we shall just smile, have a hug and thanks God for the many, many blessings he has bestowed on us :)

Wedding time again
Well it's been a while but it's time for another wedding this coming Saturday - this one is between my sister-in-law and her fianceé, who also are friends of mine from my student days. He was one of the first people I met in Oxford and it was through her that I first met my wife, and I was there when they got engaged, so it's great to see them finally get married after a long engagement (she was doing gospel work on the other side of the world for most of that time).
Photos will be forthcoming NEXT WEEKEND - there I've put a date on it, hence I am much more likely to actually do it :)

Dream...
Had a strange dream last night (don't know how you would define a normal dream anyhow - all my dream push the boundaries of possibility). Anyhow, Kylie Minogue got married in my church, do some random guy, and there were only about 30 people there, including myself (my church can hold 300 without too much trouble). I don't even like Kylie so I don't know why I dreamt about her. I saw them signing the marriage certificate, and noticed that Kylie's first name wasn't Kylie, but was something else, and I thought at the time "Ha! I can see why she changed her name." It was probably Rita or something like that. That was the entire dream and possibly the first I've ever had featuring a celebrity. What does it all mean???
