Saturday at the footy - and meeting up with some old faces

I got a phone call this morning from John Leahy, an old friend who now lives in the USA and has come back to Bendigo for a visit. He invited me to meet with him and Gary Marchioni, another old friend and go to a football match at Strathfieldsaye. We went there in the afternoon and watched the game between Eaglehawk and Strathfieldsaye. The game wasn't so great, Eaglehawk won fairly easily. It is only the second local match I have ever watched.

I also ran into a few old faces from my past. Ray and Wendy Pilcher were there as was Graham Milner, from Mildura who I have not seen for a while. It was interesting to catch up with some old faces.

My first world cup blog

This is my first blog for quite a while. I really haven't done very much since I completed the Connect Church Website. Except for watching the world cup. I have had a few early mornings and I am occasionally getting very tired. I will be glad when it is over.

But today I joined a Gym for the first time in several years. I signed up at the YMCA gym in Eaglehawk. I decided to go there because there is no big upfront fee. I can pay fortnightly fairly easily. I really do need to lose weight. I hope to be much trimmer by Xmas.

The Shiraz club met again, this time at Kevin Furness house. We watched a video "Luther". It was really good. It was a great night even though there were only 4 of us there. Kevin and Jenny are going to Darwin tomorrow for a week's holiday.

Connect Church Website finally up and running

Today, I finally got the Connect Church website up and running. Everything is working fine, although the domain name is still not fully propagated. That should happen next week. It is a good feeling. I watched Eurovision in the evening.

New phones at BUCO

Today we finally got the new phone network installed at BUCO. We have also got a much faster internet along with it, which is cool.

Website nearly ready

I met with Pastor Simon Williams today at Connect Church. He helped me set up the web site account for the church with a hosting service called eWebCircle. The site should be up and running in a few days. This is good news.

A quiet Wednesday

I got almost no sleep on tuesday night. I slept in late and did very little all day long. We had another Shiraz club meeting in the evening at Rod Geri's place. We watched the latest Star Trek video. I had seen it twice before. They have almost installed a new Pizza oven outside.

A new heater

I went for a walk in the afternoon and passed by a house which was having a garage sale. I managed to pick up an oil heater for only $10.00. It was a good bargain.
