It has been a quiet week, mainly as I’ve been attempting to catch up on my reading. Most evenings I’ve been sitting at home with a book in hand, so this should be quicker than normal.
I’ve been on retreat this weekend, or as I call it, a weekend of annoying nuns. Yesterday morning I went into London and spent some time just thinking about things in general. It wasn’t structured, there was someone available to talk to if needed.
I always find it fascinating going to a retreat centre in a city. I did go outside for a walk, I do find it easy to lock myself away from everything else going on around me. Most of my time was spent either in prayer, or in reflection.
I could have spent the weekend at home, but sometimes it’s important to change scenery. You don’t get the distractions, and those are what makes things difficult. It was also quite nice not to have to worry about anything.
I didn’t get much sleep Friday night, as some urban theatre was going on in one of the flats above me. From between 1 and 3 in the morning one of my neighbours were having a fight, shouting and door slamming included. So, it was probably a good idea escaping for the weekend.
One of the things which I’ve already decided is that I’m going to take most of December off again this year. I’m looking at escaping to Tallinn with a friend of mine for a long weekend, and I’ll probably spend some time in the clinic. It will also mean that my youngest brother changes his mind, I will be around.
One thing I forgot, at the beginning of last week I wrote my 200th post. I should have baked myself a cake. I hope I haven't repeated myself too much.
Bye for now
