She was 52. Her name was Rosemary. I had not even met her, yet.
But, Lord have mercy, her death has affected us all. We lit a candle at the window and said prayers for her with the boys tonight, knowing that's probably the most closure they're going to get in all of this.
*sigh*

So sorry, BL. Once again, there are no words. But ascending.

All I can think is: "Sod off, 2012."
I know it's not unusual for people who are thinking this way to just want to get past Christmas and then not see another year in. But it's bluddy hard on the families they leave behind.
And I do thank God for the Prayer Book and the words to say when there are no words to say. I suppose with such a large extended and still extending family, the hope of getting through Christmas without a family drama is mathematically diminishing. It's just not what I ever want to focus on at Christmasstide.
Thanks for the prayers. It means a lot.
And roll on 2013.

Oh dear, BL.
Like me and probably others, you'll be glad to see the back of 2012. Not the best year for the family at all.
Rexory, How are you people in all that heat? I remember a similar run over here when I was still at school. We were on holidays at the beach and it was too hot to go there when the sun was out. I think we had 10 days of over 110 degrees on old scale.

Not heard of any problems. Will see if anyone turns up at church tomorrow! It's not pleasant, but house and car are airconditioned.

I think I came across grumpy evensong the other night. A house down the street was playing depressing emo music when I arrived home on my bike after dinner.
If you're in a decent area of town I would recommend going running or cycling in the evening once the sun has set and the long summer twilight starts, or in the morning getting going just as the sky starts turning to that lighter blue. That works for me on the ridiculously hot nights we can get if the wind is coming from the north-west, especially with the beach only ten minutes away on the pushy.

Yes and yes.
A good Boxing Day as well, knocked Corkscrew Road off my list of the great hills in Adelaide to cycle, for once doing it before the first time it's due to be raced in the TDU.
Must have been the day for it. I introduced a mate to 'the screw' Boxing Day. Riding through the picadilly valley was magic as well.

Yes. Good advice.
Tried it out at 5pm. Still four billion degrees however as opposed to three point 99 billion. C'est la vie. Better than nought.
Finished it off with a cold shower, a crisp white and a couple of rollies. (No, I'm not a woman of contradictions. ![[Snigger]](graemlins/snigger.gif) )

From the sublime to the ridiculous.
A delivery van from de Costi Brothers, well known suppliers of quality seafood here in Sydney, just pulled up outside McDs. Driver hurried in and shortly emerged with brown paper bag of so called goodies an a drink.

Low paid driver probably can't afford high-quality (= highly priced) seafood!

My condolences to banner lady and her family may god be with you and your family in this tough time of grief its says in the beautitudes that blessed are the mourning for they will be comforted.
How is everyone spending NYE? It looks like my brother and my mother and i will be going over to a family friends house for tea and to see out the new year.
I had a wonderful sunday i had being praying that my brother would find jesus again like i did. It happened he came to church with me and is now reading the bible and praying. I hope that he continues to walk with him, so that he can help his troubled mind like it has done with me.
I continue to pray for my mother that she may find him as well.

Mum lives next door (at the other end of the building). She puts out an invitation to friends and neighbours to join us all, and there will be around 30 here.
I've made a trifle and mincemeat slices, although the latter have risen a little because I only ad self raising flour to use!
Getting our rest at the moment before people arrive. Happy new year to all.

Happy New Year, Huia, and I echo your sentiments. Another hour to go here and I'm watching the Last Night of the Proms.
