ITS RAINING IN LONDON/ DONT STOP TILL YOU GET ENOUGH

team left yesterday, it was sad to see them go, but looking forward to the next adventure, went a checked myself in to "simply the best" backbpackers a rather optimistic title, it is total backpack stero type, the owners dog is called ganga, i went out last night with a german 2 south aficas(one with dreads), a dutchman and a californian girl! first we went to a bar that had really good guinness, it soon transpired however that it was a gay bar, and without being arrogant i think i was on the way to pulling, so quickly jumped in a taxi and we headed to a club in town, it was quite swanky, a sort of milk feel to it, the music was amazing and we did some serious dancing till after 3 and it was only a pound for a beer..
we finnished the night in a food place called Mr Pickwicks, which had.... HP fruity!!! legend

today got up late and read a bit of bible im well behind in cover to cover, it was really sunny so i decided to go to a park to read in the sun, opened to lonley planet and looked at the map to find the closest piece of green, unfortunately it turned out to be a bit dodgy but before i got mugged by the teenagers a old guy called lionel came and made friends, (cape town if full of beggers and stuff) and although we were generally advised against giving them money, and i know its not good to encourage it but i read the Matt 25 sheep and the goats, when i was hungry you .... so me and lionel went for a KFC, interesting guy, had done time on robin island had a family far away on the cape flats, earned a little money from car minding(a common thing in SA) but couldnt get work and didnt want to steal. chatted a bit about home ie the norn iron situation, and then i was thinking about some sandboradiing i booked for tomorrow and whether Jesus would have done that or maybe give this guy the money...

so maybe he was spinning me a great story and maybe i was a fool for giving him the cash but maybe he wasnt and anyway i dont really need to go sandborading. it was nice to do something a bit different and i felt God leading me and closer after it so im happy enough

it still recks me but cause you cant give every kid on the street some change but yet arent we meant to treat eveyone we meet like they are Jesus?
