A quickie

Hello y'all

Just a quick update form me for the few out there who may be bored enough to give this site an occasional "butchers".

Well, as many of you know I temporarily had to vacate my home for two weeks whilst the faily i live with went on a house-swap holiday. Normally I would have simply gone with them, but I had to stay in the area as I still needed to commute to that infamous supermarket where I have been employed this summer.

Last monday however, I was en-route to Barnstaple from Lee Abbey (where I'd ended up residing for the two weeks - long story lol) only to end up "de-railing" my car and writing it off.

To cut a very long-story short, Devon experienced Torrential rains in a short space of time (flood warnings ahd been given out the night before) but I decided to proceed with caution. With head-lights on, windscreen-wipers on maximum and a cautions 45mph plodding speed...I still managed to hit a LARGE puddle and aqua-plane on all four wheels instantaneously losing control of the car. It proceed to roll over and over starting on the drivers side, windows breaking, glass everywhere and CDs etc flying out of my car.

Needless to say I was able to walk away from the wreckage more or less unscathed (asside from whip-lash and some cuts and scratches etc). It's interesting that the words to leave my lipsnano-seconds before the crash were: "Lord if what I'm about to do is wrong, show me!" and the next thing I knew, I was standing in the pouring rain with blood poruing down my hand unable to call an ambulance as I had no signal.

The Lord answers prayer...so BE WARNED. He was also gracious enough to send a bus coming round the corner the driver of which was quick to bring me inside the bus and sit me down, along with radioing for most of the emergency services.

Suffice it to say, I hoping to pick up a "new" vehicle tomorrow in order to travel home and see my family. It's amazing how a brush with death can change one's perspective on life. Anyway, if you're in the Ville of Coal in the next too weeks then do give me a buzz.

I'm also praying that I'll receiever as student loan in order to make a "YEAR O" course (the new name for an access course apparently) in "History with English" hoping to lead onto a B.A. in History and English. Please pray that this will be the case as it's still up in the air at the moment.

I've also just been to a play-reading of Shakespear's "TWELVE NIGHT" which if I'm given a part for, I'll be performing in it in November. I've finally caved under the "you should really do some stage work" suggestions of countless friends and confidants over the years...but it is somewhat overwhelming and scary so again, please pray about it. Interesting, if I'm accepted into this Drama Studio, AND I'm accepted onto this course...then one of my teachers will also be my producer/director for the play...how weird is that in terms of timing????

Bye for now

Love
