A wedding and a wizard
I spent most of Sunday in the city, catering for a wedding in with a few of the others from my mission team, to raise funds. We earned $2600 for the mission, which is about half the funds we need, so now we're pretty much set.
On the train into the city there was a wizard. He had a pointed hat, a staff with a crystal ball on top, a grey beard, heaps of gold jewellery and a robe. And he was covered in little bells that jingled when he moved, probably to get people's attention. He was talking to this girl about how he reckons people are like plants and gain energy from the Sun.
