Another big weekend it was.

On Saturday I was invited up to Learmonth for lunch with the family of one of the kids in the small group I lead. After lunch we went for a drive around the town, including Lake Learmonth, which has been empty for over a year now, for the first time since the Second World War.

Spent most of the afternoon working on a presentation about Gabriel García Márquez's short stories.

At about 5:30 pm, Flip, Scotty and I left for Melbourne, to go to Sonia*'s house warming. On the way talked about art, writing, God and our insufficient vocabularies.
Got there at about 8:00 pm and Sonia showed us around the house. We played cards, listened to music (chillout and dance). Flip played Risk with a group of guys. She thought she was doing really badly, so she asked me to help her, but she was doing pretty good anyway, especially since it was her first time playing and she didn't really get the rules. I didn't either. Eventually we got sick of it.
At about 11:00 pm all the Melbourne people went home. So we decided probably we should too since it would take us a whole two hours to get home. So we left an hour later. Got home 2:00 am.

Woke up 8:00 am. Giles picked me up for music practice at 8:15 am. Service went good. Went home.

After late breakfast, took oversized jeans back to shop. Got late lunch. Walked to church for evening service music practice**.

At the service we had this guy called Nickolai Porublev from the Slavic Gospel Association come and talk.

Got home about 10:00 pm. Ylonde had got us heaps of bread again - four bags. We still had one bag in the freezer from last week, so I'm giving some to the neighbors.
Finished typing Gabo presentation at about 11:15 pm. Listened to Good Charlotte for a while. Went to sleep.

Did presentation this morning. Got class to ask questions before I even told them who the presentation was about. Did presentation. Answered more questions. Fin.

*Sonia graduated from UoB last year, and got a job in Melbourne. She went to our church, and Students for Christ (SFC).
**Yesterday was my last Sunday on the worship team. I dodn't really have the time because of studies, work and youth ministry, and it's hard to get there early for practice.
