First few days back...

OK so i arrived back in Estonia yesterday (Sunday) slightly early and made tracks straight down to Parnu, Tracks being in this case an understandably slow bus!
Despite the weather having been exceptionally warm throughout winter so far it seems winter has been timed to coincide with me being here, when i arrived it was around -5 with a fair bit of snow and ice on the ground and today was forecast at -32 fortunately it hasn't quite hit those heady heights (lows!) but it has been around -15 all day which made me glad to have quite a relaxing day..
Back to Sunday, Sunday was much busier than i was expecting normally i get in and the first day is just travel, travel, travel, eat, sleep... but this time it was travel (including sleep), travel (watch half a movie), band practise, band practise, band practise, eat, watch half a movie, sleep..
On arrival i received a call from Kris telling me that the whole band were in Parnu and i should go there quickly to practice a bit before the gig on Friday so i jumped on a few buses and was on my way, on the way i decided to watch "Blood Diamond" without realising it was longer than the journey (and completely amazing by the way) so anyway i managed half before hitting Parnu and climbing the 3 stories to get on with the practise...
The practice went well when i could remember the words and we now have a new sax player who is freaking awesome so the music has a new professionalism to it and a nice big lineup again...
Today then i basically slept quite late and then went downstairs to get a bite to eat... While i was down i talked with Alari over a cup of Christmas tea and basically explained what has been going on back home in my heart etc, what i doing back here again!! and what i am hoping for after that we prayed for each other and i came upstairs to read...
I am reading 2 things at the moment #1 the daily bible in chronological order (which i want to read in 3 months) #2 Organic Church ;growing faith where life happens (which in all honesty i brought to get free shipping on amazon- but is already pretty interesting)

So waffling aside i am back again and this time much more committed to keeping contact i will be blogging daily when i am not overly busy and at the very least weekly and i expect you all to hold me to it...

God Bless
