No Fixed Abode

Haven’t had much of a chance to update this weblog recently but have been up to all sorts, which I’ll quickly fill you in on:

Went saw my parents for a few days in Birmingham, couldn’t get myself home from the city centre because they have changed it around loads. Not much to do at home, apart from a few chats with the family, as my mates are off on mission in Poland again. Got back to Manchester and spent Friday with some skaters, a few of them were american pro-skaters. They were building a skate park from scratch, for festival:manchester and I helped out with that. Good time spent shifting stuff around, hammering and using power tools. That was only the pre-build and this coming week I’ll be helping the final on-site build.

Saturday was spent with a hire van trudging prayer room resources across to the tent-city of festival:manchester where we will be hosting a large music / prayer / dining tent amonst the happy campers helping with the community projects. It had been a long day when I eventually fell into bed after another bar-shift, at just gone 5am.

Today was spent catching up on sleep and hanging with new friends Jon and Ellie… who I’ll be living right near to when I move to Moss Side in a week’s time. Well, we’ll see if it is a week or longer; Caleb has been doing a great job getting the place done up all swanky but has been a bit of a fight for him. Ooh, and Jon gave me a cool little toy VW Split Camper Van… I want a real one next!

So this week coming will feature hosting the ‘Wax Tent’ at festival:manchester, building a skate park, a few bar-shifts and packing my stuff to move house. Hopefully I won’t lose as mush sleep as I have over the last few days but I got a feeling that I will end up losing a lot more.
