Christmas holidays 2009

This year there was a big build up to the Christmas holiday season first I had the Oxford & District Radio Society annual dinner as this is close to Christmas we dinned on the restaurants Christmas menu a few days later the Radio Club met for the last time at the Grove club for 2009 for its annual Christmas buffet sadly the Grove club closed its doors at the end of December since then the Oxford radio club has been meeting at the gladiator club on the iffley road.  For the first time in many years the staff Christmas dinner was held in College the food as always was excellent and there was a free bar and disco in the savile  room. The Following day Apostolic faith Church held its  annual church Christmas dinner at the long wall beefeater chain of restaurants I had suggest this to the church some weeks earlier with the help of Mike we were able to pre book the dinner and short out the menu so there was no reason for any one to be disappointed on the day.

On the day we were due to stop work for the Christmas holidays I was booked into to see the nurse for the seasonal flu injection during September I had H1N1 and I was warned that this injection might set be back well it did knock me back and I spent a couple of days in bed feeling some what unwell but before that happened the first day of christmas leave Allison and I took the bus to Bicester to visit Ellen to exchange Christmas presents we had a few snow flaks in Oxford but nothing more than that but in Bicester there was snow laying on the ground.

Over the following few weeks I spent the working day in prayer and bible study I clocked up loads of hours and I was able to prepare my teaching notes on Hebrews, I & II Thessalonians, and to make a start on Romans. With Peters help I was able to load my notes into a file so that I could read my Bible teaching notes on my Sony e-reader. I have since found the Sony e-reader a great help when teaching in bible study because I can lay the reader inside my bible this has the advantage over using my lap top or limiting myself to power point style presentations. As has been the norm for the past couple of years.
