With Jake safely arrived at his new school, which just happens to be very similar to his old school, Claire is busy enrolling Dan and Millie into champs ball training, gymnastics, preschool and sing a long groups for toddlers (how many groups can she get into?) She is loving meeting up with other mums and getting into her rhythm of life again, after she had a week of mourning. Jake's school is more than 5 miles away and so we need a second car so I can get to work and avoid the cabin fever of working at my bureau in our bedroom (thank goodness for broadband).
I am starting work as a cleaner! on fridays for a friend who has some expensive holiday homes, but I am also looking for other flexible work that will provide enough money to live on. We hope to renovate a property or two, but you know how it is in the current market. The faith/doubt tension is fairly evenly balanced at the moment. We are totally committed now, but if I didn't know Jesus better I'd probably be freaking out just at the moment. Hoping to get some breakthroughs soon.
Meeting some great people down here who are really interested in what we are doing. We have said that over the summer we want to gather as many people as we can and if there are more than can fit into our lounge by the beginning of September, then we will hire a room somewhere else. Well I think with those who have spoken to us, we need to find a room somewhere else already!
I have been researching all the work that goes on in Bristol with the homeless and there is loads going on, which is fantastic. Looking forward to getting involved in some of this in the next few weeks.
Back in Nottingham this weekend for Jen and Tim's wedding, still feels weird living in Bristol and planning to drive to Nottingham!
