Live from inside the Brixton Academy the Manic Street Preachers, singing, playing and most importantly remembering a friend lost, namely Richey James Edwards.

Bathroom expectations

We are on day 4 of a 10-12 day bathroom renovation project. Can't wait for the end. All going well so far, much dust, much mess but also much hope:-)

Drinking at lunchtime

we're on holiday!!!

Enjoyed a lovely day walking the coast path from Solva to St Davids and made a new friend, any suggestions for his name? Anyone who can't see him needs a quick visit to Specsavers! Ate at the 'Old Pharmacy' in Solva paid more than we bargained for but good quality (has been in the Good Food Guide every year since 1997). I still think Stackpole to Freshwater is the best part of the coastal path walk. hoping t see Evan Almighty tonight if we can stay awake after another long walk. don't forget my mobile is on if you need to contact us. By the way Dave and Wak are away visiting her parents until next Monday so can't be contacted unless you are visiting Kofu!!

First the iPod, then the iBible

Mines and mine

Friday 20th July and with Dave and Wakana over and a chance to all gather together, we did just that! A great day of exploration, laughter, good fun and conversation (see the photos here!!)

Lets do it all again sometime!

OXFORD OFFICE LIFE

Hello! Am typing this from my new office in Oxford. Am settling in well. Miss the atmosphere of Waterloo, but can't complain about the new office building and facilities. Very state of the art! Am getting on well with new colleagues and enjoying the challenge of being team leader. Hope you're all having a good week.

Will be back in Waterloo tomorrow evening to see 'Gaslight', a victorian thriller, at the Old Vic theatre with my Mum. Will let you know if it's worth a trip!

Have a good week!

Debbie

hey, so everybody else is puttin up pictures and the pressure has just become to great for me to follow suit... unfortunately no fancy holidays to greece, canada or even st ives for this hard working stressed out for this lil' butt... it's all about ministering to students at rock gigs... let me hear it for christian rock music!!!!:) it's rarely that good but i was actually impressed with the soft and mellow tunes of casting crowns the sunday before last... if you haven;t hear them check em' out... this was one satisfied worshipper:)

what is he talking about?

Sorry about dad's sense of humour, (he meant calmer by the way). what IS zorbing and WHY!!!! will I enjoy it?? Thinking of you today Deb and hoping all is going well. Dave and Wakana best wishes for your last day in school. Si and Bec enjoyed your suggestion for a rapid meal of noodles>>

SOUL MUSIC

Hi rich

Is that you or Debs caring for your sole(s)

Thanks Si and Becca - roads look clamer that they usually do in Cardiff

Does anyone else have an idea as to what we should do in July with Dave and Wakana? PJ we really appreciate your input

Visiting St Ives: June 2007

Over this last, long weekend Debbie and I went to St Ives to visit our (old) friends Derek and Naomi. We have been friends since the beginning of University together so it was great to catch up, laugh about old times as well as enjoy St Ives and Naomi's cooking both of which were amazing!

the photos don't do it justice, but if you get the chance to visit St Ives then do! Just dont leave it till School Holidays! YOu can see our photos on our Flickr account

This is the last time I'll be looking at this view from my office on Waterloo Road. Everything is packed and now on its way to Oxford. I start work in the new office next Tuesday, so am preparing for the long twice weekly commute! First however Rich and I will be spending a long weekend down in St Ives with friends. Am so ready to chill out. Only 2 weeks to go until we will be enjoying our Greek hol!

DAVE AND WAKANA

Hi everyone
Tuesday 9am
I promised mum I would write before I left for EA in Cardiff
We had a call from David and Wakana last night, they were on their way to Kofu. Wakana's gran has died. Please pray for them. I have asked about sympathy cards and Dave is checking out protocol
Love to you all
Dad

MUSINGS RE DAY TOGETHER

Hi everyone

Mum and I want to remind you what life is like in this part of the world. It's far from easy living here in West Wales.

Talking about David and Wakana - which we weren't - can we come up with a conclusion to when we could meet?

I think Debs has a problem on Friday 20th July, Simon and Becca can only meet until 5 on Saturday 21st and the Sat is complicated for me because I have to say farewell to three USA students who are working with me in Lonlas until that day.

Please, please come up with some answers, and even better some jokes, and even better still a gift voucher for Mum and I to buy a curry

As for activities Simon has suggested we could visit Bristol Zoo at ten pounds per head or St Fagans which is free

Anyone willing to be decisive?

Please come back to us

Lots of love from the house near the coast
