Had my first near death experience today over a bowl of miso soup. Now, usually miso soup (especially Nagoya's) is fantastically oishii (delicious!) but I really do deserve a medal for finishing this particular bowl. To make matters worse, lunch was in front of a whole class of kids, who watched my face with absolute delight as I fought my way through every mouthful. They must have known what was going on and they loved every moment!
After lunch I had a few free periods so decided to do some work in the computer room. After a few minutes a man walked in. We exchanged greetings. He then proceeded to lie down on the floor. I wondered what on earth was going on and whether I ought to call for help. Anyway, within a few seconds he was curled up in a little ball and snoring like a trooper. Nilesh, my flatmate, joked that that would be me soon enough after all these early starts. He's probably right.
P.S. We had Vision Sunday at GraceCity this week. Had a wonderful time with everyone and am very excited about this new season.
how come the soup was such an ordeal? too spicy or just plain bad?
ReplyDeleteGood to hear you're getting settled in :)
Good to read you blog Steve! Made me smile!! Hope you're finding your feet and making friends. We're slowly getting into the swing of life in Bedford - kids are enjoying school but tired and I went to my 1st toddler group today. Andrew's got quite a lot of work for this month (too much)so hoping he copes OK. Church is good - hoping to get into a small group soon...
