I am feeling a bit all over the place today - 2 of my children start new adventures and I feel nervous for them.

Josh starts his new job in London with a nearly 2 hour commute - mmmm. That's a lot of sitting on a train every week. They are hoping to move over the summer but until then he will be doing lots of travelling. I remember that first day feeling when you don't know anyone and you don't quite know how everything will work out. I am sure he will settle in quickly though. He loves new adventures.

Chloe has started her new placement in Guildford. She says it is like starting uni again and living in halls! She is living in a flat with 5 other girls and downstairs is a flat of 6 boys. She knew some of them slightly before - she will be with this group for 6 weeks and then some will move on and new people will come for the next 6 weeks and then Chloe moves to Winchester. We spent yesterday sorting her stuff making sure she had all that she needed but also some bits so that it felt homely as she will be there for 3 months. She is really looking forward to getting back into hospital life and seeing patients etc... For us its strange as she is sort of home and yet not home. She is near enough to come home in the week if she wants to and she will come home at weekends.

My job today is to find places for the rest of her stuff that she hasn't taken and isn't in boxes! She has a tiny bedroom so we will have to see how much she can put in there. The rest will sit in boxes in our hallway upstairs! For a year!

Life is full of change!

This week - I am having coffee with friends, tidying my house, helping a friend sort her study, tutoring, house-group, bible study, flowers, blood test, cooking, helping at women's breakfast, more tidying!
