Easter

This is farewell from me for at least a few days. Tonight I am heading up to Katoomba Easter Convention, where I'll be staying in a house with the friends, James and Sarah, who I wrote about in this post, which turned into an article in this Briefing issue. I had no plans for going to KEC this year, and it came about in one of those strange turns of events. I think facebook prompted me to "reconnect" with James or some such thing a few weeks ago, so I wrote on his facebook wall that thing about how it'd be great to catch up sometime. A couple of days later Sarah called and I said 'oh you're responding to the facebook message', to which she said 'no I don't know anything about a facebook message, but we were wondering if you'd like to stay with us at KEC'. So, I thought about a few days and decided to go. It'll be nice to spend a few days "reconnecting" with them and their little people.

At the moment though I'm rather wishing I hadn't committed to the whole weekend, because I feel like just having a rest and hanging around and sorting through a few things and doing the church stuff here and so on. I also have a weird eye allergy at the moment, which means I keep waking up with my eyes all red and goopy (no big deal but just mildly irritating), and last night the great experiment, in which I did something drastic that's never been done in living memory and slept with the window closed, because I've been blaming the fig trees out the window (or the bats in the them), didn't ease it, so now I am stumped. But, I am sure I will enjoy it all once I actually get myself up the mountain, and it will probably be the last hurrah at KEC since these days I tend to go to ENGAGE weekend instead.

So, have a blessed Easter one and all.
