Dave was asked to help out at a wedding on Saturday, just to be there in case anyone needs anything and it was meant to take about an hour. Ha, ha.....after about four hours he arrived back home having dealt with a little flower girl who had managed to throw up just behind the bride (fortunately missing her!) and all the way down the aisle as she was quickly evacuated from the church!! The church was covered in confetti which was meant to have been let loose outside and then they decided at the last minute to serve coffee and cake while the photos were being done, so lots of squashed up cake in the carpet as well!! So much for the hour! He ended up going back with our aqua vac to clean up and hopefully get rid of sicky smells before the services on Sunday. What joy!!

Today we went off to Lancaster University where a new group has started going swimming and doing sports at the leisure centre there. Unfortunately the pool was closed so we decided to have a go at Aeroball and squash instead. There was a few adults and kids there and we had great fun. Aeroball is great! It's a trampoline surrounded by safety netting which is then divided into four quarters by more netting over seven feet tall where four people jump and the idea is to get a ball into each others 'goals' (little pocket in the netting really high up) whilst jumping up and down madly. It was hilarious, Ben was just in fits of laughter being bounced up and down on his back because he couldn't keep his balance for very long with everyone jumping at the same time! Brilliant, I may regret it tomorrow when my legs are killing but I haven't had so much fun for ages!

We were then invited to a Barbecue which was being held by the Chaplaincy of the University (one of our Home Ed friends is a Anglican Chaplain there). This was to be followed by a raft launch which had been made as a kind of art installation to represent the flooding crisis in Bangladesh. It was being launched into a pond on the university campus and then weighted down to stay put. What a laugh, the guys who had the job of launching it struggled for ever trying to get their boat out into the pond to get the raft in the right place, they seemed to be going around in circles at one point. Eventually it got sorted and is now looking beautiful in the pond, not quite sure how long it will last on a University Campus of several thousand students but we shall see!! It was a fun day and I always find the University Campus a bit bizarre, it's like a little town with everything on campus, shops, churches, sports centre, nursery school.......
