It's 5:36 am and most of us have been awake since we got here. Some of us won't have slept in over 24 hours. All of us have done two half hour shifts keeping watch at the altar at St Nicolas' church. All through the evening we've been doing all sorts of cool stuff, making banners for the churches, doing silly team games and it's just been suggested that we do aerobics but that's going too far for most of us. In a little while we'll be planning the final worship and then we'll go in for the last half hour together like we started the vigil 7 hours ago.
It's been an interesting experience. A few people now are trying to get some kip while the rest of us are just chatting or in my case writing this. We've all been eating a lot of donuts! And I'm looking forward to breakfast. The only problem for me, and everyone else, is that I'm cooking. Never mind, I expect most of us will be spending most of the rest of today in bed. I certainly will. Help, there's a mad vicar holding a gun to my head!!!!!!!!!!!! Just because we're tired it doesn't mean we're not having fun. Jon's just pumped up the stereo and suggested aerobics again!
