see-through faith

• my friend arrives tomorrow from England. I’m happy about that -though there’s a lot to do before then!

• TS came home from surgery this evening. They did a key-hole op on his knee which should restore the movement and help prevent the knee-cap from slipping off so easily. He’s on pretty strong drugs right now (picked those up from the pharmacy on the way home!) … laughing with his little sis and his girlfriend which is lovely to hear. Hubby and I have given up our bed (room) to him so he has easier access to the loo and kitchen. That’s going to last for a couple of weeks at least. I quite like his room (really the spare room) upstairs so I’m not complaining much other than the fact that hubby chose to sleep downstairs on the sofa bed ‘because of the dogs!’

• enjoying substituting in the junior school this week. Nice kids and a really nice school to work in. It’s been 18 months since my job teaching English in the senior school there finished (because two schools amalgamated). Sometimes I reallly miss working with the teens .  I wish I knew what God wanted me to be involved in now.

• busy proof reading a doctoral thesis right now. Finished one smaller work last night. Both pay the bills but it’s not my life’s passion that’s for sure! (and is sometimes very demanding work too because most people want it done ‘yesterday’ – though this postgrad is much more realistic than most which is a relief!

• no news on the new pc arriving yet. They sent me a delivery number but it hasn’t shown up in the postal service records yet so I can’t trace it. I emailed to find out if there’s a problem. Luckily this one is working again and I’m getting on with things – and yes taking backups all the time!

• Oh and dog news. DD showed Misty (the bigger sister) last weekend. She was disappointed to get ‘only’ a red ribbon (= very good) rather than the pink one (=outstanding). Misty’s sister Tuikku did get a pink one though so that was good. The next show is Åbo Open and we’ll show all three (Maggie’s first show) and hubby has had the crazy idea of inviting all those who show Maggie’s siblings in the show to stay the night. We’ll have puppies and owners crawling out of the woodwork … and yeah I dare say we’ll take a lot of photos. The puppies are now five months old.
