Last week, we ran our annual church kids playscheme: Funhouse. The theme this year was Superheroes and the team really got into the swing of it! Have a look at my Flickr set here. We had over 220 kids booked in for the week which finished with a special family service on Sunday morning. Next week, we do the whole thing again for another 150 kids across the other side of town! ...

So we're back from Egypt and the photos are up on Flickr. We had a great time away and really enjoyed spending time with our friends Dominic, Claire, Rebecca, Joshua, Brian and Liz by the seaside. Apologies if you've tried to comment on the blog in the past few days, access was suspended due to the huge amount of comment spam coming through. Although none of it got live on the site, I returned to a spam folder of around 17,000 comments! Things are ...

If you could change one thing... Originally uploaded by bobweasel. Kirsty and I spent the weekend in Cornwall, exploring the beaches and countryside and staying in a tiny tent. It was great! Part of our trip was spent at The Eden Project where we looked around the biomes, wandered the gardens and learned about the importance ...

Today is our 7th Wedding Anniversary! I can't believe it's been that long, where did the time go? Kirsty and I were talking earlier and it's even been 2 years since we celebrated by going to see U2 live in Dublin. We're not doing much to celebrate today, just going out for a meal tonight. Here's to another 7 years... ...

I love long weekends! It's Kirsty's birthday tomorrow and we're heading into London later today to spend the weekend doing touristy things. We've booked to go see the new Antony Gormley exhibition at the hayward which I'm really excited about. I'll try to take some pictures and post them to flickr while we're there. We're also planning to go to London Zoo and catch a show too, so it'll be a lot of fun! It'll be the third time I'm in London this ...

We've had a great weekend catching up with friends and chilling out. Part of our fun was heading over to Brighton to track down some of the creatively hidden exhibition 41 Places. From the site: 41 Places is a city-wide artwork of 41 true stories, installed in the place where they happened – stories of people who live, work and play in Brighton. After wandering around for a couple of hours, we only managed to find around 13 (even using ...

Last night (well, this morning really) we took a small group of 12 young people to take part in the All Night Bowling event organised by the Chichester Diocese of the Church of England. Starting at midnight, around 150 young people literally threw the night away getting in as many games as possible before 6am! It was a fantastic night and we had great fun entertaining ourselves by coming up with the craziest way to bowl a ball. Highlights included ...

Team building Originally uploaded by bobweasel. I'm currently away at a youth retreat, my first duty as youth and schools worker for arun community church. It's the hottest day of the year and we're in glorious countryside doing team building activities! What a great way to start a new job! ...

I've added a couple of wordpress plugins to this site today that relate to blogging and browsing on the move. WP-Cron works with a pop3 email account (and the built-in wordpress functions) to post any emails it recieves straight to the site. This means I can write a post on my phone and email it to my secret address, knowing that it will soon appear on my site! Handy for blogging at a youthwork conference or in church ;) WP-PDA is an excellent ...
