Preparations and a nice surprise

1. A productive meeting at work - it lasted most of the day, but I think we got somewhere... and it was good to catch up with some colleagues who are based elsewhere.

2. Planning a weekend away for A's birthday in May. I think I have to be away on the day itself, but I hope a trip away can be special instead.

3. First housegroup of the year, and a lovely surprise present. Michelle had made bookmarks for each of us, with specially chosen bible verses on the back. What a lovely idea!
