Wow it’s amazing how quickly time passes
whilst you are breathing in and out. The 30th of September marks my
100th day in Seattle. I have had 13, that’s thirteen working
weeks here and I have just finally completed the second run through of the
technique I really wanted to learn as a priority – sigh! So what have I been up
to since my last update? Mainly breathing in and out and watching reruns of TV
series I love on Netflix (embarrassed face). Obviously work has taken up a
reasonable amount of time too. I am continuing my church hunting; I visited
another church where ‘the preach’ was given by video link. I have also
revisited the UMC church I visited my first Sunday (with the expressive lady
pastor), an impressive number of people remembered me and some even remembered
my name! I have ‘finished’ the Psalms of
Ascent “How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! … For
there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life for evermore.” (Psalm 133), food
for thought as I seek a new church community to ‘live’ with.
I have also joined a flute choir which
boasts four flute parts, alto and bass flutes, and allegedly piccolos. We’ve
had two rehersals so far and I didn’t really keep up with the playing but at
least most of the time I knew where we were in the music! I hope with more
practice I will improve. It will also help when I become more familiar with
having a conductor and using her to figure out the speed of pieces.
A few weekends ago I went for a 15 mile
walk up to the top of Lake Washington and I have a few photos to share though
from that (see below).
