Farewell to Jonina

At BUCO today we had a farewell lunch for Jonina Fraser, who is returning to New Zealand to live.
It was sad to see her go. I felt really tired after work. I hope I am not getting sick.

Last Wednesday night, we had the first men's group for the year. It was at Kevin's place. Only five of us were there but it was a great night as usual. Kevin gave me a few bottles of wine for helping out the previous sunday. He seems to have recovered fairly well.

Friday the 12th

I left BUCO at 2.00 pm as I had finished work early. I went to Connect Church and showed them what I had done so far with the website. They seemed impressed. I also discussed a new database but decided the existing program was ok.

The weather has cooled off.

An important meeting

This morning I was summoned to a meeting in the Cottage with Kath. She wished to let us know that soon new laptops would arrive. That is good news. The old computers will go into the interview room. I may be asked to train interviewers how to use the computers to enter data. That will be interesting.

Lunchtime meeting

At BUCO today we held a lunchtime meeting in the church hall. Among other things discussed was the fact that we are getting new laptop computers. The interviewers will have the option of using them. Also there will be more case managers on the site.

Finished.....for now

I stayed home for most of the day and worked on the website. I am finished for now. All I need is a place to host it. Unfortunately, FreeColdfusionHosting is playing up and will not let me in.

At the library, I borrowed a book on "Second Life".

Australia Day 2010

Today is Australia day. I really don't care - it just means a day off. I used the day to keep working on the Connect Church website. I have just about gone as far as I can go for now.

56 years old today

I am 56 years old today! How does that make me feel. Not good, not bad. But look on the bright side - one day closer to eternity - which must be a good thing. I got a phone call from mum who is in Canberra as well as emails from John and Pauline. I did not end up going to church this morning as I slept in. It was a quite day generally bit I had my own private celebration in the evening.
