We used to have 40 acres out of Wollombi. Turned left at Laguna to get there. Our narrow valley was very hot but further out on the main property there was usually a breeze. We had a well and pumped up into 44 gallon drums. My then young sons would each climb into a drum of water to cool down and wet their towelling hats to drip on their head. Water was icy as it was pumped from beneath the creek bed.
Conversely, the narrow valley meant bitter cold till well into the winter mornings.

Were you up Watagan Creek Rd, Loth? I've been out that way on property inspections - narrow and precipitous with houses tucked away in almost inaccessible gullies or on top of the ridges.

No out Hunter Lodge way. Also accessible by turning left at Wollombi pub. The main area was owned by the owners of Forest Coachlines down here. They bred Connemara horses and prizewinning cattle.
The kindergarten teacher of one of my sons had a place out Watagan way and we went there for lunch. Beautiful place but on top of mountain. One big 4 was kept permanently up the top. It was used to haul the other 4WDs up the last bit of the road. To steep and too rough even for anything but the most basic Landrover.

How about that? I worked with the Royles' daughter-in-law for a couple of years, before she and their son returned to Sydney. They also had a winery out there in recent years. Not sure if they still own the property though.

A lovely 35 here for the last couple of days. TP is melting, but I am enjoying it very much. Yesterday I dressed the Big House for Advent and it was deliciously comfortable inside instead of the usual frigidity. Although I did manage to drop Jesus again. *sigh*
I have lost count of the number of times I've changed the altar frontal without remembering to remove the icon of Christ that sits between the cover and the cloth. He has bounced around the sanctuary floor a fair bit thanks to me.
Today the huge Giving Tree goes up in the Lady Chapel. I do enjoy it when the notices go out saying "Tree Fluffers Needed".

Surely you remember the number of times he has carried you over the sands when the going got tough for you? Only one set of footprints and all that sort of thing? Dropping him doesn't show much gratitude.

Very humid here and 35° C since lunchtime. I did see a spokesman for Met. Bureau who said generally Sydney will have a damp but coolish summer.
Very unpleasant today indeed. Leftovers for dinner which will take little effort.

Fine day here for the Santa Parade - although cooling down from the heat of the morning.
I finally managed to bike to church using the route I used before the Feb 2011 quake - it was wonderful and there were tiny ducklings in the Park
Coming home I saw a battered piece of tape tied to a pole - it had the words "NSW Fire Brigade" on it, which reminded me of all the help we had after the quakes from all over the world. I will always be grateful for that.

SO glad that today was cooler - nice way to start off Advent and the new liturgical year.
I made a few adjustments to this years Advent liturgy - and, fortunately, it seems to have paid off, big time. The congregation seems much more absorbed and connected, always a good thing.
For the antiphon (said), we used a a reading from Henry Nouwen said responsorily:
Lord Jesus, Master of both the light and the darkness,
send your Holy Spirit upon our preparations for Christmas.
We who have so much to do seek quiet spaces to hear your voice each day.
We who are anxious over many things look forward to your coming among us.
We who are blessed in so many ways long for the complete joy of your kingdom.
We whose hearts are heavy seek the joy of your presence.
We are your people, walking in darkness, yet seeking the light.
To you we say, "Come Lord Jesus!"
Given that last line, what better professional hymn than "O Come, O Come Emmanuel", and to pick up the excitment of being people of hope, we did not drag it along, as so often can be the case
The youngest member of the community, a lively 3 year old (whom I had the pleasure of baptising a couple of years ago, and his father as well later on), enjoyed lighting the candle of hope, with the help of his mother and father.
The 'O Come' which featured in the antiphon and the hymn was echoed in the intercession when at the end of each the intercessor said:
Maranatha:
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
In place of the Angelus we used the Alma Redemptoris Mater, with the traditional chant being played in the background.
During coffee time people commented that they had felt and understood better the change in liturgical seasons; that they now saw why the focus of the First Sunday in Advent was on the Second Coming; and how we have to be preparing not just for festivities but with our Lord's Coming, whenever that happens (fitted nicely in with some comments on the Mayan Calendar and other forms of 'the end is nigh'!
As a liturgist, I think I can say with some degree of confidence, "By jove, I think we got it!"

If only.... No women priests here, and of course no women bishops either. Still, ++Peter's time is drawing to a close. We can pray that his successor is nowhere near as rigid as he has been on a whole range of matters and accepts a full range of Anglican expression. Perhaps the rules can be bypassed and +Harry dragged back from his retirement?

With three dioceses vacant in New South Wales either already or within the next few weeks, it is going to be interesting to watch the election process play out. Maybe we should be publishing a form guide!

Whilst I am pleased that the Anglican bishop matter is resolved AND still under consideration, may I also respectfully suggest you do it in a special thread,as not all of us here are Anglican?
The weather has returned to normal.... Cool summer, thanks be to God.

Since it is Henry's work, Rowen, simply quote him, we adapted it as a responsorial antiphon for the occasion - IF you wish, any attribution is Anglican Communities of Our Lady (or CoOL for short)! Cool, eh! ![[Cool]](cool.gif)

Well done Mr C.
Is it available on Kindle? I need a good book. At present I'm reading a rather large tome on cycling and could do with some lighter relief.
Another lovely day here, not up to the 30c of Sunday. I am off on my bike to do some errands, riding even makes bill paying less painful.

Surely our episcopal machinations are of interest, nay fascination, to the whole population of Australia? Ah, maybe not.
I'm loving the weather. Lovely and warm. But I'm spending a lot of time inside because of a major project at work with a looming deadline. Up until 1.30am this morning, and only taking a break now while I wait for the smash repairer to assess the rear-ender damage to the ute. Turning left out of Macs Reef Rd onto the Federal Highway, for those (few) of you who know it.

That's a pain, Vulpior. Hope you can get it fixed quickly.
I have gone the other way today and taken some time out, as far as possible to avoid troublesome and sad thoughts. As Vulpior said, it's a lovely day. Little humidity, pleasant breeze, about 29° C here.
Had good lunch, some amazingly good cherries and some cider. All followed by a decent snooze to make up for no sleep after 2:00 am last night. which wouldn't have been too bad if I'd been in bed before 11:00 pm.

Oh, that was you! I did notice the remains of someone's headlights there. It's often where the roadside cherry carts set up too, but slowing down suddenly from over 110ks can be tricky. Best cherry crop in 3 years apparently - not the biggest harvest, but for size and sweetness they are superb this year. Get into 'em! Just don't run anyone down as you do....

My knitting motivation is currently on vacation. Enough other things to think about. However, If I hunt through my lace patterns perhaps forcing myself to concentrate on a shawl or similar would be good therapy. Or even some lacy socks which may be quicker.
I have however beaded and sewn quite a few small Christmas trees as part of a wreath for my door here. My decorations go up after Advent but others have it and I thought I'd make a statement. Not a statement like the fake poinesttiea wreath on door other side of the courtyard. Its now been up three months. ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)

Cherries and peas in their pods are signs of Christmas for me.
I'm not sure how cherries would go in Christchurch - the best in NZ (IMO) are grown in Otago, south of here - but now Marlborough (wine growing region at the north of the South Island) grow some cheries which extends the season. Peas do well here and I've just picked some early ones that are growing in the pea-straw I put in the flower garden.

A pupil bought a WW II hand grenade to school in the Hunter.
I did five years of part time agriculture study quite some time ago. Possibly 80s. We did prac work at the Dalmar Children's Home at Carlingford in what is now very suburban Sydney. I spent one morning driving a tractor in a paddock. That afternoon another student did some ploughing in same area. He turned up a lumpy looking object which lecturer stuffed down his jeans pocket and then went home.
He scraped at it with a screwdriver in the sink at home and found a date, 1917, on it. Then realised it was a grenade.
Called police who called in Army. The block of units was evacuated and it was carefully removed. Report later said it was very unstable and could have been exploded at any time. ![[Ultra confused]](graemlins/confused2.gif)
