Busy time at Wilson Mansions
but a week-end NOT away
Last week-end
That was great and
the Saints won against Leeds
Great game too
Young heros x 17 - love it.

This week it was a privilege
to attend the funeral of
Maurice Turner.

Maurice was the Chairman at Romford YMCA
when I began to work there.
I remember Maurice and Denis Carnaby, CEO at the time,
coming to visit me at The Mayflower Family Centre.
I was Senior Youth Worker there
working with a large team of Youth Workers.

Maurice was my Chairman during those early years.
A great supportive loving gentle Christian human.
I am eternally grateful to him.

Also met up with Mr Singh for a curry.
What a great man of wisdom
our meal and catchup LONG overdue.

We had only been sat down for a minute
when he was speaking Nepalese to one waiter
and soon speaking Bengali to another!
(I only have two languages,
English and Body!)

Mr Singh is a great fan of Mark Tulley.
A great broadcaster and much of that about India
Mr Singh's birth-land.
I am second best, only to Mark Tulley - says my friend.

I shared my three current Challenges in life and
Mr Singh shared his - heart rending stuff.
(What are your three challenges at the moment?)

I cannot tell you lots of my goings on.
Too sensitive and confidential.
When wounded people share with me
they trust me to hold confidentiality
and I will do that to the end.

And yet I want to spill.
Believe that by opening up
we learn about ourselves
and others learn from me
and me from them.
I do that having a curry
and in group work too.

Just signed two contracts
for two new communication tools
due out at the end of the year.
I love it.

At liesure
and in travel
I listen to music
my first relaxing love.

I catch some late night TV too.
Really surprised how good
'Six Feet Under' is.
I have been catching
some recorded episodes late at night.
So full of emotion and rawness.

I keep dropping
'5 WORDS to describe my life at the moment'
on Facebook and Twitter.
with the hope of stimulating others to do that
I love how honest people can be with 5 words.
(and you?)
