I've just got a few bits of news for you.
There's a lad in Church with learning difficulties - well they say learning difficulties, but he's actually very intelligent. His name is Ethan and we said goodbye to him today because it is his final Sunday in Lichfield. He's going to Minehead to study hospitality and stuff, and he's going to be working on the front desk in a hotel! You go Ethan! Conner, the youth leader, gave him a bag of goodies as a leaving present. Ethan is a lot older than he looks. He looks about 12 but he's actually 19! His five o'clock shadow is a bit of a clue to the fact he's older than he looks!
Second bit of news. I ordered some things off of Amazon yesterday, and they just came! The items I ordered were small headed brushes for detail work. Wire mesh cloths for washing up and cleaning. They're supposed to get all the muck off your pots and pans without scratching. We'll see when I do the washing up if they live up to the hype, and the third thing was the book Chapterhouse: Dune by Frank Herbert. It's a second hand copy but it's not in bad shape..I've gotten books in worse condition than that from the Oxfam book shop!
Third and final bit of news. Our Pastor, Steve Speight, is coming round to see my step-dad tomorrow at about 11:00am. It's his wife Jane's birthday aswell tomorrow, and at Church this morning my Mum told her she can come round too tomorrow with Steve. I don't know why in particular he wants to come round, but my step-dad hasn't been to Church in years because of his hearing. He manages to go to the luncheon club though.
Anyway, that's all my news.
What are you lot getting up to today?
I hope you are all well.
Have a nice day.

I woke up early to boil a tongue I had out to thaw. I´m looking forward to it as yesterday´s tummy ache is in the past.
Have a nice day.

@sharonelton Thank you Sharon. I really should have not taken a second slice of cake, but I am well today.
It rained a lot all the morning and part of the afternoon, we stayed at home.

Yay!
Happy Birthday to you!
Oh, no!.I'm sorry you had too much cake! I hope it didn't spoil your birthday.
I actually got up half an hour earlier this morning so I could have a cup of tea without rushing before I went out to Church.

I hope Ethan does well in his endeavors. Those mesh cloths sound interesting. Nice of the Pastor to come spend some time with your step-dad.
Happy days to you.

Thank you very much. I hope Ethan does well too.
I tried one of the mesh cloths out today to do the washing up and they're quite good. I'm going to be going round everywhere now cleaning stuff with one of my wire mesh cloths!
Yes, it is. I wonder what he wants - or is it just a courtesy visit?
Happy days to you too.

Being intelligent and having learning difficulties are two different things. You can be intelligent with learning difficulties. My older son is that way. He was in special ed his entire school life.
I'm glad your packages arrived.
I hope you have a good visit with your pastor and his wife today. Happy birthday to her.

@just4him Oh, no, his wife didn't come. She had to go and sort out some paperwork. But we did enjoy the visit from Pastor Steve.

Thank you very much. I moved lots of stuff out of the way and did some sweeping up this evening ready for the Pastor coming!
I'm sure Ethan will cope! He'll be bossing everyone around! He always used to inform the preacher every Sunday how long they'd got to preach! He used to tell them all to keep it to ten minutes, but if Steve was preaching he'd let him have fifteen!
