Hello again.
Its been a while. Over a month in fact. I haven't known what to write and I still don't. So I'm going to write about a cat named Ash. Ash is black with a bit of white on his chest. He is one of the most unusual cats I've met. When I first met Ash, in June, it took him the better part of five days before he decided to accept me as part of his family, even with some bribery (food). When I moved in, about three weeks ago (four on Friday). It took him another week or so to get used to me all over again. Now, he's demanding his tea by headbutting my shins and knees, as well as putting his front paws on my legs and digging his claws into my legs. Technically he's got to wait a few hours until he can eat, but for him, it's still worth the try. As I'm writing this, he's sitting in the living room, hoping to catch Andy out and beg him for food. Yes, Ash is Andy's cat. The photo here, I just took of Ash, before he went on the prowl again to find someone who'll be kind. He was sitting near his empty food bowl and hoping I'd be nice and feed him.
Since I moved to England, I've been living with Andy's mum and stepdad, whilst I've been writing my CV and job hunting. Andy only just finished impact (this last Sunday) and I'll be moving somewhere else when somewhere else opens up. I would rent an apartment but I'm not that keen on spending £500, minimum, on rent a month... which would roughly be half of my wages. I don't want to use so much of my wages on somewhere to stay. Thankfully, there are a few options on the table for me to choose from... and you'll hear once I've chosen.
Between 31 July and 6 August, Newday 2017 took place. It was a big learning curve for me. For the first time, I wasn't a delegate. I was one of the leaders with Redeemer's youth group. I really enjoyed being able to have a good closing off week with the teens I've been working with for the last nine months or so, during my internship. On the one hand, the talks were incredible, though things had changed a lot since Newday 2012, when I last went and I really enjoyed it. On the other hand, I found it rather challenging having to block out the thoughts about the future and stay focused on the teenagers (as well as keeping track on where they were in the meetings, which isn't an easy feat in a tent that has about seven thousand other people in it). Its been a bit distracting having lot of the thoughts swirling through my head have been to do with what I'm going to be doing when Newday was done, job wise. I've heard that its really easy finding a job in Crawley (if you don't know where Crawley is, use Google Maps). As I said, I've got options and you'll hear about what I'll decided to do soon enough.
Given you may have already noticed... I haven't written on here in about a month and I'm probably going to keep it this way for the foreseeable future. I don't have anything that I'm interested in, at present, that I could write a long post about that you would want to read about (specifically, books, coffee and photography). So my posts are going to be spontaneous and sporadic. I'll keep posting the post links to Facebook to let you know when a post has been written... or you could hit the subscribe button to be notified without having to wait for me to post on Facebook. Your choice.
Anyway, until the next time, whenever that'll be.
