England's Calling: Have a Cup of Tea

http://englandscalling.blogspot.com/2012/09/have-cup-of-tea.html

Tuesday, September 18, 2012. Have a Cup of Tea. Cup 1: Who doesn't love the first cup of tea in the morning, after getting to sleep in (or having a lie in, as the British would say). Especially after falling asleep last night snuggled under my striped duvet to the sound of rain against the window panes, and waking up to a breezy, sunny morning. We sat around with their great set of housemates (out of 10, we've met 7 so far). When they were all talking and bantering, it was such a lovely homey feel (e...

England's Calling: Good, yes?

http://englandscalling.blogspot.com/2012/09/good-yes.html

Monday, September 17, 2012. This post is an ode to our Brazilian flat mates, who are the best two guys ever. Today, Gui (we called him this because we cannot pronounce his full name), asked "What is this thing the rabbits eat? How do you say this? Apparently, he was extremely happy because he was able to order a sandwich at Subway today, but he couldn't remember the word for carrot. Cute, no? Favorite exchanges so far:. Gabriel: "I think the rice it needs more water.". That’s what Mama says.". In this ye...

England's Calling: Tid-Bits

http://englandscalling.blogspot.com/2013/02/tid-bits.html

Saturday, February 23, 2013. Anyways, in her office she keeps copies of a turn-of-the-century British magazine, Tit-Bits. This magazine, much criticized by the intellectuals of the time, was designed with the busy working man in mind. Made entirely of short snippets of news and entertainment, it was perfect for the commuter who could only read on the train between stops, or on a lunch break. Looking through my journal from the last few months, amidst the To-Do lists, lecture notes, scribbled verses, and ...

England's Calling: The Journey

http://englandscalling.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-journey.html

Friday, September 14, 2012. Or as the British would do it, backwards: 10/09/12). I looked and felt like a hobo walking through the San Francisco airport, with my rainboots (which wouldn't fit in my bag, but couldn't be left behind) and a heavy hooded jacket. My jacket pockets were bulging with the stuff I had to take out of my purse when the grumpy airport worker made me consolidate one of my bags. Apparently, you can't get on a United flight with a purse and. A rolling suitcase and. Luckily, we were abl...

England's Calling: On Being United

http://englandscalling.blogspot.com/2012/10/a-bit-on-unity.html

Sunday, October 21, 2012. The topic of "unity" has come up a lot over the last few weeks. We are going through Philippians in bible study and 1 Corinthians at church. Both books have the theme of unity thread throughout, so it's been on my mind. And today, I was given such a lovely picture of what Christian unity looks like. I know, stop gushing, right? I am going to sleep a happy girl. And all this got me thinking:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). About me, Callie. Rain, Rivalry, and Rugby. I was as...
