Shiraz group last night

Last Wednesday, we had the Shiraz club meet again. This time at Rod Slocomb's place. It was a great night as usual. Kevin Furness was there. The food, wine and fellowship was fantastic as usual.
I was busy at BUCO today. We are dealing with some people who have been burnt out during the fires, so things are busy.

Full on tuesday

I was flat out at BUCO again today. I found out that I have to do some re-modelling on the Back to School Program. I watched a Top Gear video in the evening where they go to the North Pole by car.

A full on Sunday

I did not get much sleep on Saturday night, so I was tempted not to go to church. But I did and i enjoyed it. There was a lunch for newcomers after church, which I went to. Rod Geri and his family plus Andrew Trewartha and his family were also there. We got to meet some new people and some of the leaders which was great. I was tired later and slept most of the afternoon.

A busy thursday

At BUCO today, I finally got the bugs worked out concerning automating the Back to School database. I managed to get many of the fields to automatically update rather than have to be manually updated. I feel that I should have this program ready to roll by the next week. I did not watch much tv at night.

Back to BUCO - again

It was a quiet day back at BUCO. I managed to catch up from where I was behind in my work after my week off. I had to see Tom at BEST in the afternoon but he was not there. I slept for nearly two hours when i got home so I was more tired than i thought.

A quiet Sunday

After church i had a bit of a chat with Col Pilcher. It was a quiet day all round. The weather has cooled down but there are still fires raging around Victoria.

Diabetes?

I visited my doctor again today to get the results of the blood tests that I had three weeks ago. The results were not great but could have been worse. I am getting close to being a diabetic. I do not need medicine right now, but if i do not lose weight i could become diabetic. Basically, the doctor told me that my body is coping right now, but i must lose weight or i could be in trouble. I am sure this will spur on my weight loss regime.

The Shiraz club met again ay Rod Geri's house in Junortoun. We watched a movie called "I am Legend", starring Will Smith. It was ok, but not brilliant. Kevin Furness was not there again but it was a great night as usual.

Back to Buco

On Monday I went back to BUCO after i finally got back from Sydney. The last Saturday was horrendous. The hot winds lead to the deaths of over 150 people. The death toll is still climbing. Parts of Maiden Gully and Eaglehawk got hit pretty bad. I went to both the morning and evening services at Connect Church on Sunday. A guy named Peter Blase was preaching and he was dynamic in the spirit. I feel it is a new day for me as the Lord will do something new shortly.

Back into the heat

I returned to Bendigo from Sydney after a lovely week with mum in Sydney. I could not update my blog on Friday because i could not reconnect to the internet provider as I got back too late on Friday the 6th of February. The flight back on Qantas was pretty smooth. It took a while to collect my luggage and when I got to the stattion i just missed my train so I had to wait an hour for the next one. I slept most of the train trip to Bendigo. It was 370 when I got back. Fortunately an end to the heat wave is in sight. The night was so hot i had to sleep with the fan on all night.
