From Arthur's Seat to Murrayfield

Greetings cave dwellers and middle class America alike,

I'm actually currently watching "Father Ted" for those of you who that will have any meaning. I'm sitting the in the living room watching the telly with Jim the Labrador. Sundays are very tiring days in church work because they tend to last for a very long time. I got up at 7 this morning to get to church by 9 and then it was non-stop until 8 tonight. So I am very glad when I get home, that I get to sit down and enjoy a good dinner and watch some cops shows.

I'm enjoying being put to work though, which I am doing a lot of. The days that I do have off are terribly lonely. This is from Monday (it's been 24 hours since I started this entry), but when I got off work, I was already 1.5 hours late for connection group. (similar to cell groups) but I showed up anyway, just to be around people. I really enjoy going to connection groups. I like to be around other people in a small group setting.

My money comes in tomorrow, so I'll be able to buy groceries, but I've been doing pretty good on 4 pounds a week. (that's money) or $8. So far I have been in Scotland for over two weeks and have used around 30 pounds ($60) but it spends here like $30 because everything is twice the price. For example, a tall Starbucks latte is about $5 and a combo meal at McDonald's would be about $10. The only thing I've seen that is the same price as home is grocery store food. I get bread, peanut butter, and jelly all for about $5.

I kind of wish that I had more to say. I feel like I should, but the days are getting more routine. I'll soon start my assignment from the church and I'll let you know more about that when that happens. Anyway, I'm sorry for being boring. I'll try and post again before I go to work tomorrow when I'm not on the verge of falling asleep.


Cheers
