It's been quite a busy week. I'm staying a bit further out of the city centre than I have the last few weeks, and although this has had the benefit of being close to a reservoir which is nice for running around, I'm realising that it makes it quite a bit harder to organise my evenings the way I'd like, so I should slightly increase the amount I'm willing to pay for somewhere more central. I had been hoping to find somewhere I could stay consistently, but so far the leads I had haven't panned out.
On Wednesday evening I actually made a flying visit back to London - it felt quite weird to be commuting the other way, but I already had an apartment booked for the whole week, and coming back the same evening was both cheaper and involved less horrifically early mornings. I was back in London to be sworn in as churchwarden for another year. I was chatting to the Archdeacon afterwards, who I have a bit of a crush on, and she became the latest in an increasingly frequent series of people to ask me if I had any intention to pursue a priestly vocation. I mentioned this on the book of face, and I think that![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
sfred's suggestion that this is probably just because it surprises people that someone would take on as much church responsibility as I have without that vocation is the likely explanation, but it does disconcert me a bit.
I've been enjoying playing things_that_aren't_avenue_Q on the piano the last few weeks. I'd not been making much time for it for a while before I picked it up again for Ardgour, and am pleasantly surprised how quickly the pieces I had been working on before are coming back to me. I should probably actually register for my Grade 5 at some point so I've got a specific goal date to work towards.
I'm only working a half day today, before heading over to Finedon to help get things ready forbunnypip and cuddlyviking's wedding tomorrow, which is awfully exciting :D
