    There's a co incidence...my wife's congo are off to the "One day Event " tomorrow,(Could it be the same Circuit??) but she does not feel up to the rigours of the journey and a long day, so we will sit it out at home and the good news is - No meeting Sunday !

    Do not expect too much excitement, although I used to say that one day assemblies were more direct and had less verbal padding out than two day ones. They used to have Bethel speakers who were better than the locals...Make sure you take a good packed lunch and a large Thermos, the days of buffet service have long gone...

    Let us know if a disabled sister in a wheelchair was interviewed about the joy she experiences distributing Watchtower Society literature 6 hours a day.

    Popped down the shops this evening and bought a few bread buns and other stuff for sandwiches. Also bought a bottle of wine; half of which I have drank tonight. I think I might try to smuggle the other half in with me tomorrow - might look like blackcurrant juice?

    Skip that - pour some vodka into an empty water bottle!

    An iPod might help you pass the time. You could listen to some favorite music or an audio book.

    If you're so inclined, you might find some entertainment value in listening to some very politically incorrect selections from Pat Condell's Godless Comedy - I've downloaded many of his commentaries and have them on my mp3 player.
