Yes I do still love my motor sports!
Family Pride parts 2 & 3
OK – I know pride comes before a fall but I’m not proud of myself but of people within my family.
Last weekend Mrs H and I went to visit my family and on the Saturday evening we went to watch my cousin playing in a cafe/bar/restaurant with his band Sould. It was great going out for a nice evening and we also met up there with some other members of the Hartley clan for a chinwag and just a relaxing evening.
The top April Fools for 2009
Ahhh April Fools day – where would we be without your endless merriment and hilarity? Well, probably anytime after 12:00 I suppose.
Even so it’s always a laugh to see just who has come up with the best pranks each year and my 2 personal favourites this year have got to be the XBox 360 Alpine Legend game (link) and the Quallcom Convergence innovation (link)
You can see the videos for the two of these below – but don’t leave it there… visit the sites as there is soooooooo much more than just youtube clips 😉

“My promises WILL be fulfilled”
Back in the mid-late 90s there was a tremendous move of God that swept the world. Revivals were taking place in all sorts of places, the Holy Spirit was changing lives in new ways and there were Visions and Dreams aplenty.
Splash!
I’ve not said anything about this particularly simply because it’s taken a good few days to sink in and meditate on.
The weekend just gone was a huge one for our family and immensly busy for us all. Starting with a few days getting loads of jobs done around the house, baking cakes and bacon & egg pies, shopping and more we then headed towards that girliest of girly things – the sleepover!
Instead of a party, as such, we suggested that our girl could have a few friends over for a sleepover… and it was a brilliant idea that she thoroughly enjoyed but left us all shot to pieces and still reeling from only getting 3 hours of sleep!
The Sunday was a HUGE time, and the biggest hi-lite of the year so far – our girl got baptised!
There were 18 people who got dunked in the first service, and 19 in the second, and our daughter was one of the ones proudly being baptised. Well, there wasn’t a dry eye amongst us as she took the plunge – and there were a good few others with leaking eyes as well.
I don’t honestly think there was a prouder couple of parents in the building that day and it’s the start of a really great road for our girl!
