Last night blues

In a well populated kitchen

Our last night in Liverpool, our last day really, was a blur of packing, struggling with huge boxes up and down 2 floors and a mad dash 2 hours north to move our stuff to Barrow. That was just half; tmrw we're moving Alex, Tricia and Jack to Southport. If we're knackered tonight, tmrw will be no better.

For our troubles, we managed to get hold of a van which Hsupheen drove around. Acording to her, refined girls do not drive vans. This I leave to your discretion. Against all odds, we managed to get back in time for dinner and to hear England beat TnT 2-0. Woohoo.

Our last lunch in Liverpool? By some common consent, though we were miles apart, all of us for some reason ate fish and chips for lunch. Except Edward, who had a chicken burger and chips, so its probably not significant. Dinner was of course the necessary finishing up of all the frozen food that we'd not managed to cook so far. Sausages, chicken and chips/hash browns galore. Aiky, you'd have probably died.

And now, the sound of vaccuum cleaning fills the house as one by one, rooms are being dusted up, vaccuumed and polished, just so that none of us incur the wrath of the management after leaving, forcing to pay an exorbitant amount of money for 'notvacuuming under the bed'.

Our kitchen on the last night

As I write this, Hillsongs' Through It All is playing on my laptop, the only thing left on my tabletop. Pretty apt, as He definitely has been faithful, to His word to keep me/us safe from harm this year. I can think of at least 2 occasions where serious consequences might have ensued if things had gone otherwise, but didn't. He's been faithful to bring us through every obstacle, from fitting in with an alien culture to doing relatively well in studies, to bringing people like Christine Tierney to help us out. Forthcoming exam results notwithstanding, I just have to mention that He's definitely played a big part in providing for us as well, from a church to settle in, to friends who've been a great help and jobs for those who needed them too.

My last night sleeping on an empty bed with no sheet or duvet.

Next post in Malaysia. Whoopdedoo!
