Holidaying at the Gold Coast

I haven't updated this for a while as I am holidaying at the Gold Coast until next wednesday. I am staying with family while I am up here. I flew up on Sunday the 23rd. We had a great xmas day here. I caught up with many members of my family who I have not seen for a while. I also met my newborn neice Emma Gates who was born just a few months ago.

It was a great day and I am gradually exploring the Gold Coast. I have not been up her for many years so it is good to see the place.

Last day at BUCO for 2012

Today was my last day at BUCO for 2012. I worked in admin all day and finished off my cleaning duties. All over for the year.

Connect Church xmas dinner 2012

This evening, Connect Church held it's annual Xmas dinner. it was a great night as usual. The food was pretty good.

We were told about what is going to happen in 2013. There will be no Sunday evening services and the Bendigo College of Ministry will commence operation. There will be lots of other exciting things happening and i will keep you posted of them

BUCO end of year celebration

This evening, BUCO held it's end of year function at the all seasons  function room. It was a great night as usual. I did not win any door prizes. There was plenty of food on offer and nobody missed out. A couple from the Bendigo Chaplaincy attended as well and i got to meet the minister of Forest st Uniting church for the first time.

Skyfall

After doing my cleaning job this morning, I went to Bendigo cinemas to see Skyfall, the latest James bond movie. It was pretty good, i thought.

In the evening, pastor Tim hall and his son in law preached at Connect church. it was very powerful preaching and moving in the holy spirit.

Hottest November day

Today the temperature reached 40 degrees. This is the hottest November day on record and it felt like it too.

I booked my flight to the Gold coast for xmas 2012 .

Melbourne Motorcycle Expo 2012

Today, I traveled down  to Melbourne to see the 2012 Melbourne Motorcycle Expo. Getting down there proved to be a challenge. There was a signalling problem in Melbourne so we had to get off the train at Sunbury and catch a metro train to Sunshine from where we had to take a bus to Southern Cross Station.

The bus trip was very slow and my temper was tested. I seem to run into a few annoying loud mouths on the bus. We arrived almost an hour late.

Thankfully the Motorcycle Expo was very good as usual. There were some great bikes on display.

I got to sit on most of them and get a feel for them. I really liked the KTM's and the Husaberg models.

Thankfully the trip back was OK, no dramas.

I was back in Bendigo by 5.30 pm and home by 6.00 pm. Hot and tired, but it was a good day after all.

I have not upgraded this blog for a while as there has been nothing to report until today.
