Back in Bendigo

This is my first update for quite a while. Just recently some very eventful things have happened.

Lets back up a bit. Saturday September 11th. I flew to Sydney for my brother Bill's 50th birthday party. It was held at his unit in Neutral bay. It was a great night. Nearly all the family were there, plus some of Bills friends from work and Softball. The party was great fun. We even ended up watching Rugby Union, AFL and Rugby league while the party was going on. All in all, a great night.

The next day, Sunday September 12th was also interesting. We went to St Scholastica's chapel in Glebe for a presentation on the work of John Radecki, my great grandfather. He was Australia's first notable artist in stained glass windows. A number of his works were on display in the chapel and they are just awesome! The man had some serious talent! I had heard of him but had not seen his works until then. I was super impressed. The speeches were boring, but I enjoyed the day. To make the day more interesting, there was a nun present who actually taught my mother. Mum is 83 so that nun must be. well 'ancient'!

The next day I flew back to Melbourne with Virgin Blue. The flight was pretty good. When we got into Victoria, I saw some incredible cloud formations. They were like tufts of wool all piled up. I had not seen clouds like this before. They were an awesome sight.

This morning, I attended a free hearing demonstration at National Hearing Care in Kangaroo Flat. Unfortunately, it appears that I may have some hearing damage. I have made an appointment to see a hearing specialist in a fortnight. Not great news, but it is good to know that I have a problem so we can fix it up (hopefully).
