Tonight we've been wrapping the 'presents' for our toiletry giveaway at the YMCA Sunday night. It should be fun - we're giving out pizzas too. There's a weird dynamic in getting out there and serving, opening yourself up to being shot down, rather than just huddling inside, in some kind of comfortable, inverted huddle.

Last night our housegroup gave away boxes of chocolate on Helen's street. It was fun to hear different people's reactions. When people answered the door we said "this is a small token of God's love for you." One guy was like, "thanks, that's real nice of you" and then when his housemate came to the door asking what was going on he said "man, they're chocolates from God!"

After all the wrapping tonight Lewis and I had a jam - it's a shame we can't do this more often, I need to learn to play with people more and would love to do some co-songwriting, but it seems life is so busy with work and uni and Lewis' commitment to his band, Todah.

Tomorrow is essay writing and then Doug's stag party!
