Friday
Friday I spent 5 HOURS with 3 other ladies making little Algerian cakes for the car boot sale. I am SO THANKFUL to be English where a cup of tea and a slice of victoria sponge would suffice! No, we had to make little fiddly (but very tasty) little cakes with 3 different parts to them etc.
I mananged to escape the women and have a quiet half hour before heading out to rollerblading. It has been a wonderful weekend weather-wise and there was about 150 people waiting outside the cathedral. It brought memories of last September flooding back when I sat on my own, literally terrified of what was ahead of me and ashamed and humiliated that I had no friends. How things have changed! As soon as I arrived about half the staff came and did the French kissy hello and many other regulars greeted me. I felt SO HAPPY! It has taken so long to simply make relationships and friendships here and living on my own has been very lonely at times. How much God has blessed me through rollerbalding and prooved that often we have to "Feel the fear and do it anyway"! I had an excellent evening, got back home at midnight absolutly exhausted but very sastisfied with life.
