Sunday at Connect

I caught another lift to church with Peter Lawrance. Alan Kroiter came along also. The word that came at church today "the Lord holds the scepter but he wants to give us his authority". It was a powerful word. Actually, before church i was feeling a bit flat because of all the time that had gone by without reward or result. I felt that that word was relevant to me personally.

An important lunchtime meeting

Today we had a lunchtime meeting in the hall next door to discuss a few things. Chiefly, the issue of succession regarding Ruth and Peter, which turned out to be a hot topic. Some people feel that Ruth may have been sacked unfairly, which may or may not be the case. My own role was also discussed. I feel a few important issues were raised and hopefully resolved.

A quiet wednesday

I stayed home all day and studied layout for web pages. I have a few more ideas. In the evening, we went to the Shiraz club again. To be a little bit different, we studied the various essences of a few different types of wines. It was interesting finding out just how wines can age and just how they are assessed.

Monday....with new helper

At BUCO today, Linda Apostolou helped me with the data entry. I am hoping to get some new people to help me with that so I can go onto other things. There will be a meeting on thursday so that things can be thrashed out at work.

A really quiet Wednesday

I did not update this blog for a few days as i did not get the internet reconnected until today. It was a quiet day, as i had literally nothing to do except some shopping. The Shiraz club met at Kevin Furness's again. Geoff Bray was not there and neither unfortunately was the chap we met at church who runs the Vineyard. But it was a great night nonetheless. The weather seems to have warmed up and we had some rain.

First Sunday of March

Today is the first day of March, which means that it is the beginning of Autumn. I have to say that I do not regret seeing the end of this particular summer, it has been a shocker. It was a good day at church today. I sat next to Chris Hill. She told me that her family may be moving to the Gold Coast next year. I had coffee with Rod Geri after church. We met a fellow who runs a winery and we invited him to the next Shiraz club meeting. It was a good morning meeting. I was tired in the afternoon and did not get to do any exercise at all.

Funeral of an old friend

This week, my good friend Colin Pilcher passed away after a fall at his home. I have known Colin for more than 40 years and it was sad to se...
