I've discovered something about myself. I prefer shopping at markets rather than department stores. I get energized with the fresh food, the bargains, the individuality and the colourful array of stuff on sale at really good prices. At department stores, I get a little depressed because everything looks the same, it costs much more than I'm willing to spend, and looks so artificial. Sigh. The only thing I love about department stores is the perfume department [I will never buy perfume at a market].
Today, it was a rare opportunity to go to the market on a weekend. Anniversary was yesterday, so Sunday is free!!
Allister, Simon, Pegs and I went to the Rocklea markets. I ended up eating and shopping heaps. Haha. There were great Dutch pancakes, German sausages, slurpies, Dutch toasties, cheap $1 - $4 books, feature files, shelves, sour lollies, note books...Between all of us we purchased all of these things. It's great to see 'Ter' back for a little while. His nuttiness and spontaneity is weird but refreshing.
Anniversary yesterday was a lot of fun. A couple of mishaps with people stressed me a little, and performing when I have little control over AV is always stressful. But it all turned out good. I kept praying throughout to focus on God and to remember that I was there to bless the people.
It was great to see many wonderful performances by the different services and the increase of talent in our church!
Now....off to someone's birthday surprise....:)
