After several years away from the sport, I attended my first soccer kickaround on Tuesday night! It felt incredibly good to experience the team camaraderie and to work lots of different muscles. St. Antony's Women's Football Team - the Chihuahuas, unfortunately - practice once a week from 9-10 pm. Note to my family: we ride our bikes together, only on well-lit main streets, which are still crowded at this time of night as it is a university town. Thankfully, we train inside, so I only have to bear the cold for the ride to and from the facility. We also had a group run today. It is so great to have structured exercise and to get to know the other girls! What a fabulous way to relieve stress.
Even more exciting, I saw my first pantomime this morning! The Rotary Club of Bicester sponsors a school for children with special needs to attend a performance every year. I enjoyed speaking with the kids and teachers, and I hope to visit the school sometime to see their methods. Of course, it was simply magical to see the pantomime of Sleeping Beauty through the eyes of children! The lights, special effects, crowd interaction (it is designed for kids - lots of shouting and songs) mesmerized the students. I felt like I was transported out of Oxford!!
Still, I have been able to get lots of work accomplished, though there is always more to do. I found some fantastic resources this evening. Thanks for all of the prayers!
