Being squished...
I realised that paying in cheques is not something that I do a lot of when...
The woman in the bank raised her eyebrow at me after I asked for a paying in slip and replied...
"No, we haven't used those for some time now."
I tried to smile in a normal way - but she squished me and I felt totally deflated. I handed over my cheque rather sheepishly and scurried away as soon as pos.
Ever been squished?

Remember to say thanks...
I felt the need to blog this, cos I have had sooooo much time to think in the last week.
I have been pretty ill, but I am loads better now. Yay!
I have had food poisoning... so painful. (Campylobacter, for anyone with a medical interest!) However, over the last few days as I have been feeling a little sorry for myself I remembered how blessed I am - in so many ways.
Today is the first day in NINE days that I have been able to eat properly and I realised that eating is a wonderful wonderful thing that I take for granted every day. I am so blessed that I can open my fridge door, or pop to the shops and eat pretty much anything I like, some people live in countries/situations where that is just not possible.
So remember folks, when you have your next lunch, dinner, breakfast, maybe take the time to say a little thanks, to Him who gives us our daily bread - and so much more besides!
Thanks God, I love you!

So, Egypt...
So we went to Egypt...
Not that I can really say I saw a lot of Egypt...
We stayed in Hurghada - which is on the coast next to the Red Sea. Hurghada itself has pretty much nothing of interest... The Red Sea is very beautiful and the break was restful and relaxing.
The weather was warm and we ate delicious food and played cards by the pool.
Our most adventurous day was spent in the desert - charging around on quad bikes. It was immense fun! We got to see how the 'Bedouin' people lived. (Interesting fact. Elijah came from a Bedouin tribe - they live in the desert and are very poor.) We also watched an egyptian dude eat fire and lie on a bed of nails. (I stood on his belly while he lay on the bed of nails - and yes we do have a pic of that!)
The hotel was awesome but I will blog about that tomorrow.
It is good to be back, I only wish it were a little warmer...
