What I've been up to.

So I received a brochure for distance learning art courses from London University of Art and I chose a Drawing and painting diploma course. It costs £395 and I wrote out a cheque for the full amount on Saturday, filled out the application form and put it in my bag ready to post. On Sunday I went to Church, and on the way I posted my application for the art course. The Church service I found a bit flat mainly. It was made better at the end though because we sang I Raise A Hallelujah which is one of my favourite songs. Mum was expecting my brother to come round yesterday to collect their Easter Eggs, but they didn't turn up. They're supposed to be going on holiday over Easter so I hope they come and fetch them first. Last night I watched Freedom Church on YouTube which was a breath of fresh air after the morning Church service. The songs they sang had more of a melody to them. The message was about being a radical Christian and how that is a positive thing not negative because a lot of people's reaction when they hear the word 'radical' is negative. A radical Christian is one who believes the Bible 100% and follows Jesus with all their heart. This week our shopping trips have been reversed. Because my step-dad has to go to the dentist on Wednesday afternoon we won't be able to go to the big Tesco, so we're going to the big Tesco on Tuesday instead of Wednesday, and I'll go to the little Tesco on Wednesday instead of Tuesday! It's good because I'll be able to get the new Doctor Who magazine a day earlier than I would have done! I think that's all my news for the moment. What are you lot getting up to? I hope you are all well. Have a nice day.

I am glad you enjoyed the later part of the Sunday Mass. This is going to be a busy week for many, I know that many families are going away for Easter.

It wasn't Mass, that's Catholic! Are you doing anything special over Easter?

That's good. I'm glad about that. I've had Alpen for breakfast. For lunch I'm going to have carrot and kale.

@Adie04 You're not really fond of carrot? I like carrots. Sometimes I saute or fry them and sometimes I boil them. I don't know what else to do.with them!.

@sharonelton I like kale, but not really fond for carrot. I don't know, I just don't really like the texture. I prefer more green leafy veggies. Do you perhaps have any suggestion on how to cook the carrot so it taste more edible than just edible?

We'll only have a small family gathering at my parents' house on Easter Sunday. My mom will make her favorite Filipino delicacy called suman and my brothers will cook something special for lunch and dinner. How about you?

So do you go shopping most days? We can walk to the shops from our house-swap apartment. That is a real novelty to us.

Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays I go shopping. I walk to the little Tesco on a Tuesday (this week Wednesday) and I walk down town on a Friday. Usually on Wednesdays we get a lift to the big Tesco and a lift back, but this week we're doing that today instead.

That's very cool that you will be taking an art course. I have no artistic talent at all. I am continuing to work on catching up here. I am on April 3 working toward April 20!! Have a good day.
