Another rainy Sunday

When i awoke the sun was shining. I decided to walk to church but before i could leave it started pelting down rain, so i got a lift home with Trevor and Terry Clarke. They mostly preached on abortion at church today. I did not do much for most of the afternoon.

In hospital

On Wednesday the 27th of August i had to go to the Bendigo Hospital for an operation. I had to get a hernia that had developed on my belly button fixed up. I was elective surgery, which means that i did not have to get the operation done, but it was advisable that i do it as it could cause serious problems later, if unattended.

The operation went smoothly. I woke up feeling groggy and hungry. I had to stay overnight in a small hotel they have on the campus. The accommodation was good but i found it difficult to sleep. I just could not get comfortable or feel warm enough. I discharged myself as soon as possible. The bus went by the hospital at 6.30 am, butt here was not a bus to Flora Hill until 7.30 am so i walked home. I feel the walk did me good.

I contacted Ruth at BUCO to tell her why i will not be at work. She told me to take Friday off as well. I will certainly do that. I am in some discomfort but i am glad the operation has been done.

A busy tuesday

I came to work thinking that i would not have much to do. Wrong! Ruth told me she liked what i have done but that she wanted the figures for the cheques from July 1st 2007, not from January 1st 2008! So i have to really busy myself getting more data into the database. There is no other way but to type the data in manually. This will keep me busy for a while i feel.

Olympics are over

It is Monday the 25th of August and the Olympics are finally over. They have been a good games but I am glad they are finished. Australia did well.

It was back to work today. I have got all the problems with the reports sorted out and now i am not sure what to do. I am sure I will find something.

Back to the Vineyard

I was back at church today for the first time in a few weeks. It was a very spiritual day. The Holy Spirit said to Phil an Jane that he had found a place to dwell with them, which is great. A word came about getting the "green light". Another word came about opening the roof further so that the light of the Son could shine in. I feel that both words are applicable to me personally.

I found out later that Kevin and Jenny Furness are now fellow shipping at their daughters church in Kangaroo Flat.

A frustrating Friday

Things were going well at work until the software program i was using started to glitch on me. I could not get certain numbers to add up, which was frustrating. I am sure i will fix it on Monday.

I scored four blankets and a nice rug from BUCO today. The weather is still bitterly cold.

Wednesday and Thursday

I did not get to update this blog on Wednesday evening as i had left my glasses at the Furness house. I had a quiet day on Wednesday generally. In the evening we had the mens Shiraz group at Kevin and Jenny's house once again. There were seven men present and this time we met in the lounge room. We had a great talk and even discussed the idea of going to a rugby league test later in the year.

On thirsday it was fairly quiet a t work. The good news was that i rediscoved the glasses that i had lost previously at work.
