"Good friends..."

My last few days have been really, really cool. I had Charly, a good friend from home, come to stay with me (monday til today). I love having friends come to stay ! We had so much fun together and I discovered even more places in Bristol that I didn't know before !

Monday we went to LiveSoc in the evening, where (as I said in my last post and comment on last post) I played a short 4-song set. I didn't feel the set went amazingly (I did give it my all, but I was just too nervous really and so my voice was really, really shakey) but I think people enjoyed the songs all the same, which is the main thing. I was really glad to be able to see some LiveSoc people again, and that a couple of friends from church were able to come too - all of whom I introduced Charly to. We did all enjoy the evening. Tuesday we then did "the other side of music", (classical as opposed to acoustic/rock/pop) and went to Evensong down in Bristol Cathedral - which was a first for me, but I did enjoy it. I enjoyed the quiet, reflectiveness, and prayerfulness of the service, especially after having had a busy day of lectures ! We then visited another friend from home, who's at Uni in Bristol, and got to see his 12-person house !! We did various other things throughout Charly's stay, including visits to several eating places and coffee shops, oh and discovered the "Shoe tree" (as we so named it) - if any of you are ever down by Bristol Cathedral you'll see what I mean ! We had a great time, and it felt really odd when she had to leave earlier this afternoon :-(

I had fun for the rest of the afternoon, since Charly left, wading through e-mails and catching up with peoples' blogs (amazing how much builds up even when you're not online for just a few days ! Probably shows how dependent I have become on the internet, but that would be a whole new blog topic). Also means I don't have an excuse anymore for not working - I need to work hard the rest of this week to catch-up, but I wouldn't have had it any other way :-)

I think I now need some sleep slightly desperately (- I'm really tired tonight even though we didn't stay up tooooo late this week!) And tomorrow is another day; I shall deal with it when it arises.
