Somebody at work yesterday mentioned Christmas is only 9 weeks away. It’s shocking how quickly things come around, so rather than be my usually unorganised mess I thought I’d turn over a new leaf (before it drops off) and sort out what I’m going to be doing now.Firstly, All Saints’ Eve (that’s All Hallows’ Eve or Halloween to you heathens, lol) is almost upon us and I was wondering if anyone had anything planned. If not would anyone be interested in coming to a fancy dress Barbecue at mine? I am thinking that Saturday 4th November would be the most appropriate weekend.
Secondly, I’ve had a tradition for a long-long time to go to St Paul’s on Christmas Eve for midnight mass. It’s not a particularly riveting service though it does help remind me of what it’s all about, something that’s easily lost in the ever-lengthening run up to Christmas. I also quite enjoy singing a few carols once a year. I thought it would be nice if this year we meet down a Pub and those how wish to continue to Church can go and those who would rather get an early night can wonder off when they feel the need.
And last but not least New Years Eve, this is an event I often overlook and therefore rarely do anything pre-planned. I think it would be good if this year we sorted something out, even if it’s just meeting down the Pub for a few pints and a laugh. It’s always good to have something to look forward to don’t you agree…

It seems that everyone is busy & I'm still living in a building site so I'm going to pull the plug on Halloween at mine this year. May be next year we should do something.
