St. Matthew's Day

St. Matthew's day is on the 21st and the reason I mention this is because it is a tradition of my old school to march through the City of London every year on St. Matthew's day (or on the Fri around when it is). Lead by the school band we all group according to our boarding houses, and march past bewildered pedestrians (because of our strange uniforms), avoid the evidence of the presence of mounted police and go to see the Lord Mayor. It's all good fun. Can't go to see them this year since I'm working but this website has some good photos.

Church was really good again this morning. Met Kirsten who has a son going to my old school! I found out because she went up to the front to tell the congregation how thankful she was to have found a school for her son and happened to be the person sitting next to me. I then chatted to her and, out of curiosity, asked which school her son was going to go to. I love the way God does that. She had been really worried about getting him into a secondary school. Well, he's going to a pretty good one. They now live in the lap of luxury at that school, with microwaves, Sky TV and Playstations! <old man voice>In my day, we only had a toaster and 2 hot plates... we didn't even have curtains!</old man voice>
