QotD: my weekend plans

What are your weekend plans?
It's rather late to be posting these. Friday evening I travelled by train to Sheffield. Little wheeled backpack loaded with the usual stuff plus robe, bell, copy of ceremony in smart French folder, iPod and those wonderful noise-cancelling headphones from Bose. And a reserved seat! Which I had no shame in reclaiming from the guy who was sitting in it, my energy and feet still feeling the effects of Freshers. I so rarely travel by train but think I'm going to do so more, particularly as the prices will be mitigated by my Senior Railcard - yippee.

I was met by Sundari and back to her and Bhaktika's house, where they were about to host a Process Work weekend of interviews for courses and exams. A gorgeous meal of red bean stew and an early night with one of the books on the course, which sounds fascinating (I've since ordered a couple of Arnold Mindell's books on Amazon).

In the morning, after a leisurely breakfast and meetings with a number of the interviewers and interviewees over coffee, we drove to Ray and Sue's on the outskirts of Sheffield. We had a more relaxed and cosy ceremony for the Renewal of School Membership than a year ago, when they entered the Amida School. I was so pleased to be able to conduct the ceremony in front of Ray and Sue's own shrine and to include the four friends in the same ceremony. We then had a gorgeous lunch - Amida Sheffield collectively are acquiring a reputation for rather good food!

I was taken back to the station and travelled back, able to see more of the countryside in daylight this time.

Today has been restful, reading the Sunday papers and catching up with some of my e-mails. In half an hour we're off to the city centre to see An Inconvenient Truth, which has finally reached the UK, at the Tyneside
