£15 a head and the Belly-dancer for free.

Well this weekend had relaxed written all over it. a nice chilled out night in Friday and then an impromptu stint to a restaurant on Saturday (Belly-dancers and all!!). Very nice.


Went to a baptism on Sunday. It was very nice, there was a whole troop of us from university so we turned the place a little rowdy -in the nicest possible way- !! It was a really nice service and the preacher was really getting into it which is always a bonus. The funniest point had to have been when the first woman was getting baptised. She was an ahem. . older. . lady and in her little talk had said how she had never had her face underwater since she fell in a pond as a kid. So there she was, stood in the water, hands crossed in front of her, ready to fall backwards. There was a guy doing the blessings and he started talking.

"Now before you do this, we have a problem. . . . PROPHECY!! PROPHECY!!"

You should have seen the look on her face, this poor woman who was beside herself with nerves anyway, almost died before she had chance to be baptised!

After that, we cheered when Holly went under, then had tea and muffins and went to the pub for some celebratory drinks.

I got another piece of coursework back today and once again managed to do worse than I thought I would. Still, on a happy note, one of the guys on the course got 91%. Wow. I'm going to get his essay off him and see what he did. That is the highest mark I have known anyone get for an essay in all my three years. Good one Noel.
