MercoPress :“Chile and Uruguay the most stable in the region Chile and Uruguay have the highest democratic development index of Latin America, while Paraguay and Venezuela stand at the extreme opposite according to the latest report from the German Foundation Konrad Adenauer simultaneously released last week in several continental capitals.

After phoning O2 at the weekend to arrange to have my phone disconnected in October when the contract runs out - they very quickly and efficiently disconnected my phone immediately! I phoned them back later on and they said they’d reconnect it for me. Still nothings happened - so tonight I phoned again and after holding for 30 minutes they told me they couldn’t do anything until the cancellations team were in tomorrow!

I’ve added a photos section to my website portfolio now -which I’m quite pleased with. It will grow gradually as I take more photos - I’m trying to take one for each letter of the alphabet. Laura suggested the fish shape - which I thought was cool so I then had the challenge of creating it!

We went Geocaching for the first time yesterday - It was great fun!! We didn’t manage to find the first one (The Kench)unfortunately, but when we decided to try Millennium Sails,we had much better luck (eventually), as you can see from our photos.

After all those days we bought the paper to see if we were in there - the day we almost didn’t get a copy was the one!! You can see the article here.

Found a link to this cool colour toy today -which I prefer to the previous one I’d seen as this will work in Mozillla too! Got a rough draft of my sermon together, now just to neaten it up around the edges, and probably add some illustrations. Also went to see Comedy of Errors at Stanstead House tonight - it was brilliant, really funny - I thoroughly enjoyed it!

We’d arranged to meet up halfway there, but because of traffic I got delayed - so we changed the plan to meet closer to my end at the McDonalds near the M27. But I’m happy, cos Laura is back!

Well, [samespirit] now has a navigation side bar- I was only intending to surf a bit to relax after going shopping, but that’s fine - I think it looks better with it there -see for yourself! I’ve also got a working title and a rough idea of the structure for my sermon now so that’s getting on well. Annoyingly though, the estate agents didn’t return my call earlier, so I guess I’ll try another one tomorrow or next week.

BBC News is reporting on the most watched film in history! It was made to take the gospel to far corners of the world and has been translated into 760 different languages, but hardly heard of in the UK. Sounds interesting to get a copy of to watch. There’s clips on it’s website

Laura’s gone back home to spend the week looking after her sister - so it feels empty around the house. Tonight I’m going to my Uncles 60th birthday - which should be good, just have to remember how to get there again!! I really should have brought my camera to work so I’d have it with me for the party, anyway I’m sure we’ll go over there again before we go away!
