London cont'd

So, I'm actually sitting in my car at 1am typing this post. You see I have mobile broadband, but the reception in my flat is not great so I either have to perch next to the window or sit in my car, and the car seat is comfier. The reason it's 1am is that I've been constantly on the move and this was the first moment I've had to sit and type something out.

I had my exam for medical registration here on Friday and it was a bizarre experience being in a massive exam hall with hundred of overseas doctors. Hopefully it went well but I still need prayers. And if it does go well I have to do a clinical exam when I get back here from Zambia in August. The best bit about Friday was finishing the exam and having a whole beautiful spring afternoon to wander around London, It was so sunny and I was on the south bank of the Thames, which was buzzing. It's amazing how much happier this place is when there is a little bit of sun. Cheerful Londoners lazing on the grass, tourists swarming everywhere, buskers and street performers and artists vying for attention, it was really great. I sort of lost myself in the afternoon and ended up leaving late to go up North to Birmingham.

Brum was great. Saw old friends and caught up with a couple of Maz's old house-mates (for those who were at Maz's 21st, they were the crazy ones on the video). Then this whole weekend I've been attending talks by a priest called Fr. Dawood Lamaie. A lot of contemplation on having hope in God and how that really can change our lives. Really encouraging stuff, and he has a great way of dissecting the Bible to make it all seem so obvious.

Back in London now and have been having fun all afternoon/evening. Went to see Wolverine and then went out to dinner and just stayed out chatting all night - great fun.

As Zambia gets closer and closer I'm getting more and more excited to see what God has in store. I'm sure it'll be amazing, but not really sure what to expect, so feeling a tiny bit nervous. Still, as I expected, I'm finding out about more and more people who will be there around the same time.

Anyway, I'm blabbing and its 1.30am and I should sleep. Love you all & May God's Love be with you always :-)
