Elvish Obsessions
Now, I know that this is going to cause a lot of you to nod knowingly and wink at each other, (after being jokingly accused yesterday of wanting to get ear implants in my attempt to "be like"/"be with" Legolas!) but I adored my first horse riding experience yesterday.

I was having second thoughts about taking this up as my "new hobby" for the year. I think it's because I was trying to have a little part of my life that I could keep separate and where I didn't feel like I was sharing the experience of learning to ride with others. I know it sounds immature and insecure, but oh well. After all, it's not anyone's fault that horse riding is such a fun thing to do! Once I got on Tonto's back and I'd learnt to walk and trot though, I was hooked. It's just a bonus that I'm not actually sore this morning!! Just a tiny twinge when I first sit down, but other than that, no pain at all.

Anyway, we'll see how I feel after a couple of lessons. I am on the hunt for a replacement hobby of sufficient uniqueness and might try figure skating if I'm still feeling unsettled about it in a few weeks.


Old friends
Also unexpectedly had dinner with my oldest close friend last night. That's in duration, not age, mind you. She and I shared about life, love, struggles, joys and our relationship with God. It was only after realising we were freezing to death in short sleeves on my porch swing that we thought it would be wise to wrap up for the night! This was the day after Kaz's birthday dinner last night, which was really special to be able to share with her, and also a church music team brunch with relatively newer friends on the Sunday.

A fine weekend!
