Promises being realised

At church tonight Ps Nat Valentine preached on "Promises being realized". He talked about promises that seemed forgotten about coming to fruition.

Grand final day 2012

I watched the 2012 AFL grand final today. The Swans won by 10 points. It was a fantastic game, very close all day. I thought they had blown it at one stage, but they won their fifth premiership.

Pretty cool.

On the down side, my fridge has broken down. Luckily, I still have my old bar fridge available, so I can still keep things cold.

Napoleon

Today I traveled to Melbourne to view the Napoleon exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV).. It was a really good interesting exhibition with lots of great displays and some very interesting facts. For example i did not know that a french explorer named Baudouin bought back lots of exhibits from Australia to France in Napoleon's time. Apparently, there were kangaroos and emus in the garden of Josephine, Napoleon's wife. It turns out that there were also Eucalyptus trees bought back to France at that time. So, Napoleon did have a connection with Australia. This was also my first visit to the NGV and I was glad I went down there.

Very interesting. I still got home in time to go to the gym. So it was a pretty interesting day after all.

Shiraz group meets again

A new computer monitor

I had to purchase a new computer monitor today as my old one packed it in.

I have also got the new BUCO website up and running. I may need to make a few changes.
