up with the sun

Well, not really, but the sun rises before 6 in the morning, so can you blame us. But this morning was the first 7:00 prayer meeting at church, so we did something BEFORE work for once. I haven't checked with Bree, but I still managed to stay awake. We're also planning an excursion to go to Brighton this weekend - we'll see if we get up early enough on Saturday to actually go.

Cultural note: England is obsessed with Big Brother for some odd reason - it's on almost all the time. I can understand if someone liked watching a season or two of Real World, but how can people still be obsessed with some of these horrible reality shows? But, then, who are we to judge when we've probably seen 100 CSI's - we're planning to reduce consumption, as we've grown weary of the violence and death.

Did I mention that Bree brought back a new air mattress... it's double high! And its giver will be visiting us very soon.

Off to walk across the bridge with a look at Big Ben on my way to eat a Thai meal prepared by a friend.
