Since we’re English, we listened to Big Ben strike midnight on BBC Radio 4 on the Internet. Happy New Year!

We picked up flyers today for the concert Ben is in January 14. The photo on the left of it is of Ben (click on the image for a larger version).

I went grocery shopping this morning, not because I wanted to but because I needed some things.
Even though I don’t especially like grocery shopping, I realized when I was there that I was enjoying it more than I’d enjoy Sunday morning church. Here are some reasons:
- I could go when I liked – I went early so it fit in with my family’s schedule
- I could go at my own pace – I didn’t have to sit through any boring stuff and I left as soon as I was done
- All my interactions were fun and comfortable – I had two fun conversations and no awkward ones. I suppose that might happen if I went to church but it seems unlikely these days
- The person in charge was very kind to me – I accidentally met the overall store manager (whom I’d never met before) when I was looking for help with an out of stock item. He was very nice to me: respectful, friendly, chatty, helpful. My recent experience with people in charge of churches has been very mixed, to the point that I would feel very uncertain what sort of reception I would receive from their person/people in charge.
- It was demonstrably beneficial – now I have dinner for today and tomorrow and more coffee for the coffee maker I received for Christmas.
I guess it’s no surprise that I don’t go to church anymore.

Esther is joining the rest of us and getting glasses. She had an eye-test today and chose frames. I’ll post a photo of Esther in her cool new glasses once she gets them (they’ll take about a week to make).
