I often find it fascinating who is in bed with whom on certain issues of sexuality and women's ministry. Jensen and Pell couldn't be further apart theologically on so many other issues!

Oh, I think they're more alike than they are different.
Although the old joke (that only works if you know Sydney's geography) is what's the only thing that separates George Pell and Peter Jensen?

In other news, Fairfax! I suppose I'm going to have to subscribe when the Herald starts charging for website access. That is unless Gina gets her claws into editorial policy.
The only thing is, once I subscribe online, it'll feel pointless to do the occasional Saturday hard-copy purchase. I probably still will.
Which reminds me, I'm about due another published letter. I need to get riled about something; dead horses are old hat. I might even try my hand at the Heckler for once.

SMH as tabloid! Hard to envisage. I've used the online site for years although lately it's had a lot of fillers. Articles from tiny places in other countries purporting to be news but nothing really.
I downloaded SMH app for iPad and use that at breakfast. However, I buy it on Saturday. Just something about a special leisurely breakfast with the paper spread over the table and ink on my fingers.
A couple of days ago I subscribed to their latest so-called limited offer for iPad. I recognise that it was a softening up tactic to get me using extra bits available in download but it gives access to more parts and to such things as the crossword. I'm quite capable of withstanding the next offer which will requre cash, I imagine, but don't know about tabloid paper.
As for Ms Rinehart ![[Mad]](angryfire.gif) Queen Gina next?

We were in the church hall, having a dinner to welcome me and hear my life story.... So enthralled were we by my brilliance that we missed the event but yes- it was felt here.
Cold, wet here and very muddy. I did one more day of VCC and shire council flood- impact assessment work, and again, very interesting, taking me on to farms in areas I barely knew existed. Misery and mud really...
I continue to enjoy life here. Sad to say, but part of this is the absence of the Anglicanism that was such a big part of the combined parish in my previous role. The breakdown was about 25 folk to 3 non-Anglicans, so I can understand the parish focus and the Anglican control.... But now I can enjoy being UCA to my heart's content.
I hasten to add however, I have nothing against Angllicans, in general. Some of you are ummmmm quite charming folk I am sure..... Lol lol
We are still very much in the beginning stages here. Lots of parish visits and meetings, and loads of driving.
Frontier Services, UCA are revered here. John Flynn had his first church in the area. And who is Flynn? Why, the man on the $20 note, and the founder of Frontier Services, 100 years ago this year.... And also RFD and School of the Air. Big celebrations everywhere later this year.

I was in a vestry meeting last night when the hall started to rock and roll. The vicar asked if we had been raptured then said obviously not--as we were all there!
Then he got quite excited as he had never felt an earthquake before. ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)

James, your Vicar is welcome to them!
Is it just my heightened awareness, or has Aus had more earthquakes in the last couple of years?
![[Yipee]](graemlins/spin.gif) The bestest news ever - another temporary library is being opened in July right next to the bus exchange I knew it was happening, but not when. It will be a lot bigger than the tiny one in the Mall, but just as accessible. We will be able to request books that have been tied up in the old library Colour is coming back into the world!
Today is the shortest day. It's going to be getting lighter (and colder I know, but you can't win them all). I hate short days even more than the cold.

And still is. Have turned heater on. It's been on more in the last ten days or so than all last winter.
I thought it might turn nasty. Did you see the sunrise? Absolutely beautiful but far too red to suggest a good day. I went to shops and came out into a cold grey day, rather raw feeling to it and it's now windy here.
I can see that flag at girls' RC school back of Fivedock is blowing wildly. I'm fairly sheltered as I am in northern corner of two wings of building and my place faces north.

Cryptic, did you see the sunrise this morning? This is unedited aprt from minor cropping and is taken looking northwest. There was as much again to the north east. The ragged line on top of the high wall is from about 40 birds sitting waiting for the sun to warm their backs.

Windy overnight. Woke at 3.30 to banging. The bistro blind had torn from its anchor points and was flapping on the tin roof. It took two of us to pull it down and roll it up.
Fortunately the only damage is the separate tie-straps that fix it to the anchore points, so not a disaster. But I could have done with my sleep so I could enjoy the whole of the day off.
Of course I'll enjoy this evening when the Swans defeat the Cats.

I like your photo Vulpior. It looks chilly indeed. Do you get snow where you are or are you too close to the lake. It's forecast as possible snow today a good deal further north than you, around Bowral.
It's quite windy here too, chilly and grey. There was another very red sunrise this morning but not as extensive as yesterday.

Mr Curly, you use Abbott and useful together? ![[Ultra confused]](graemlins/confused2.gif)
Have just cut up three beautiful ripe quinces I was sent by a friend in Bowral. I'm waiting for the beautiful aroma to arise from my slow cooker.
My nose is clear enough to smell them today, although the three days of cold and general yukkiness is still around.
Lovely day outside. Friend and I sat in sun streaming in balcony door and ate fresh home made bread with chia seeds and sweet potato soup with cumin. Very pleasant indeed.

GG. your quince jelly is yum.
Speaking of talented shipmates, I've just finished a very well written kindle book of short stories. Take a bow Mr Curly, that's the most I've enoyed the genre for a long time.
Commiserations Zappa, but it will get colder before it gets warmer. I hope for your sake your back in the warmth before it does.
Whilst I was waiting at the bus stop today I was inwardly cursing vandals whose work has led to many of the seats being made of metal - they may be vandal-proof, but if you have to wait any length of time you could end up with frost-bite in the nether regions, not a pleasant experience.

Here's an answer for you Zappa. Possum. Supposedly one of the warmest yarns around. Can't vouch for the underwear but I have knit other clothing with possum/merino mix and it was very warm.
Or perhaps these might help?
