mixing it up

So, my last post was actually written by Bethany.  I had the extreme pleasure of her company for the first part of this week, and I was rather fed up when she left, it has to be said.  Highlights of her stay in Leeds included:
A BBQ on a park with a guitar, songwriting, a game of pick-up hockey, wine, great food, and good people.
A trip to the historic city of York, where we rode the open top tour bus and went in the minster for free, went shopping, walked round the museum gardens, walked on the bar walls, went in the Colourscape for a very small fee, and checked out Rock Church, home of a bunch of my friends.
A visit to North Bar to celebrate Irish Matt's birthday, and enjoy the root beer.
A Beautiful Feet headline gig at Joseph's Well.
An intense worship session in the basement with decks and artwork, prayer and scripture, and much more...

I didn't expect to miss her as much as I am doing, but some things are like that - we had a blast, and I got to hang out with her in a way that I don't think I ever really have before.  As J would have said, she's one tight chick.  I just think she's pretty cool.

Anyway, she's gone now, and I am, of course, left with the job of mailing all the stuff she forgot to her.  This includes a new mix cd, based on Tuesday night's worship session, ready to head to Canada.  I'm pretty pleased with it, the usual hard house/trance, but well intense, and completely to the glory of God...

Right, I'm off to look for my car insurance documents.

Leeds and York were HUGE highlights of my not-long-enough trip to your ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE country. I'm excited to get the stuff I forgot (suprise suprise) in the mail, but even more excited to hang out soon! You rock like a skinny canoe in the Atlantic, Mark.
