Not content with making commuters watch trains go past at busy stations and having them change two or three times on what was once a through trip, our Glad, the transport minister, has done it again. The reasons the buses are late is that they have to stop to pick up passengers. Solution? Halve the number of stops.
Why do I think of the fully equipped and staffed hospital with no patients?

Amazing how daft ministers of the Crown can be.. Of course this person probably never even catches a bus and sees how many users would have problems with their solution. Either put more buses on or re-write the timetable to reflect reality.
As for cutting out through buses, this means people have to catch more buses. which alsomeans the time loading is longer - sounds like an "own goal" to me.
One of the best things about living here is that the bus service is reasonably good. We are still having frequent detours due to earthquake related stuff, but the route I travel has week=day buses every 15 mins, and half-hourly in the weekend. After 9pm buses will stop where requested, but some drivers on quieter routes so this for elderly or overburdened passengers anyway.

At a farewell dinner last night I was sitting next to a devout baptist who at one stage said "Of course, Australia has never had a widespread spiritual revival like New Zealand did."
I obviously missed this in my Theology studies. Would anyone from across the Tasman care to enlighten me?

I remember first encountering Scripture in Song many decades ago.
And I remember Marching for Jesus through the city singing Graham Kendrick stuff; that was rather later but still a long time ago. Not really my kind of thing but I did it once to show solidarity; I think it was repeated a couple of times.
There are a handful of Kendrick songs I enjoy – we sang his calypso carol 'This Child' last Sunday and I almost started dancing.

Dunno about "revival", but I certainly remember "Scripture in Song" being very popular in the pentecostal churches in which Mrs R and I were involved in the early-mid 'seventies. And we often had NZ "evangelists" and preachers visiting us. This was in Geelong. Some good songs, some not so. Tomorrow's OT reading contains one of the "better" ones - "Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return..." Been earwormed with it all day.

I visited a friend in southern highlands. She's a very competent physio and has taped shoulder for some relief. Nothing much doing in medical world at this time of year. It feels better but doesn't go well with summer clothes!
Son with back operation is happy with his back. However, his gut is still protesting at the indignities heaped upon it during operation and is not working very well at all.

Sang The Messiah last night. Lovely Aussie conductor, Richard Gill, lovely soloists evenly split between NZ and Aus, and a radically reduced Orpheus Choir and NZSO. It was fab from where I was... and all the comments so far seem to be positive. I do feel very lucky to be allowed to sing such wonderful stuff.
We went out with the basses afterwards and discovered just how noisy Wellington is on a Saturday night - bad case of cognitive dissonance coming from lovely music to drunks throwing up and shouting at us (we were a bit of an anomaly, what with the boys all being dressed in tuxes and us in full formal black). Definitely life's rich tapestry.

Richard Gill started his career at the school where my father taught and my brother and sister attended. Great guy who refused to buy a car and arrived and departed every day in a cab. He declared the short trio to and from home was cheaper and safer in a cab.
I was given his autobiography last year and found I knew many of those mentioned there.

I'm unscathed after my first game of cricket in 24 years yesterday. First game with Biggest, who made a more meaningful contribution than I. Managed to field ok, while not being required to bat or bowl.
Watching Middle today who has been called up to play a game of rep cricket. Glad to be resting my sore legs all day.
Feeling the chaos of the season rather than the anticipation of advent. We're also not looking forward to some aspects of Christmas, with mother in law not well (chemo for long standing lymphoma) and sister in law deteriorating fast with motor neuron disease.

Ah, the timing explains why I missed the revival - my years in the wilderness. I do remember some of the music though, from when I re-joined the church in about 1979/80.
Hymns For Sunday Morning today played a French carol I learnt at primary school over 50 years ago (in English the first lines are; Christ is born as a child on earth, play pipe and drum, play the flute and bagpipes/Christ is born as a child on earth, sing and dance to proclaim His birth.)
I was so glad to hear it again, although it was sung in French as L'Enfant Divine(excuse the lack of accents and spelling - it's been a long time ![[Biased]](wink.gif) ).
I have still to hear "Evey Star shall sing a Carol" which I would love to hear again, being on dial up is sooo frustrating.
Next week we are going to sing alot of carols. I feel sorry for whoever sits next to me as with my hearing I am never sure I've hit the right note, but I still sing with enthusiasm. People like me are probably a source of pain to others ![[Hot and Hormonal]](icon_redface.gif) and cause them to display Christian Forbearance.

APW – was that the Messiah with Teddy Tahu Rhodes? My favourite male voice – has a kind of edge that sends tingles up my spine.
for Huia, Lothlorien and Mr Curley's family. And maybe a wee one for me, 'cos I fell over and (?) sprained my shoulder on Monday, and no appointments available for a scan till next Wednesday – but it is beginning to feel a bit better. The x-ray was fine; my bones are pretty solid. I note the difference in implication between 'X fell over' and 'X Had a Fall', the latter implying a traumatic life event for an Older Person.
Huia I heard that carol, and I hadn't heard it for years. (Puts on French teacher's hat) "Il est né, le divin enfant". Some other beauties in church this morning when the choir, assembled annually for the event, did a magnificent job. Where does Val find all those wonderful songs? I even nabbed someone who is always a willing contributor to write about it for the church newsletter here (which in my hands isn't terribly 'religious', with no biblical texts, saints' days, people to pray for etc).

It most certainly was. He reminded me of why I always wanted to grow up to be a bass when I was little. Although... the trumpet playing (Cheryl Holliger) was so good in The Trumpet Shall Sound that I forgot to listen to the singer.
Thanks for the extra info on Richard Gill, Loth. As a result I went looking for more info and am amazed at his many and various musical endeavours. He's a man after my own heart, although I suspect not always the easiest person to live with. He was particularly insistent on making the drama come alive - "If you don't believe, then think of it as theatre, if you do believe then regard the audience as possible converts."
Huia, Il est ne is one of my favourites. In fact, I could live very happily on a diet of French carols around Christmas. Another great fave is Un flambeau Jeanette, Isabella (Bring a torch).
However, I never want to sing Te Harinui again. Orpheus did a concert in Te Papa a couple of weeks ago, and our director (fab musician, not that clued up on NZ history) selected it. I wanted to, in the words of Dorothy Parker, fwow up.

It was included in the carol singing at the Labyrinth last week, and we were enjoined to be sure and sing 'harinui' not 'haranui' as the latter means something like 'big curse'.
They made a point of including several NZ carols, others much more acceptable.

A great joy - and I mean that in its best sense - at the end of Prep School is that the boys teams play a team made up from parents and other significants. My father and I were in the team against Dlet, and I managed to bowl him for 3. I was caught by another boy, but bowled Dlet for 14, and my father was bowled by him for 8. At the reprise in Yr 12, my father was there but unable to play. I bowled Dlet for 7, and he me for 6. Special rules of course for length of time at the crease, rotation of bowlers and fielders etc.
I'm sorry to hear of your family's health problems esp at this time of the year.

GG for the recovery of your shoulder.
Thank-you too for the correct name for the carol -I'll be able to chase it up now, along with Jeanette Isabella, another favourite.
If I never hear 'Te Harinui' again I wouldn't miss it.
I'm feeling better, but am off to the doctor today as I wasn't properly discharged because no one could find the surgeon, probably delivering a baby or something - the pressure on staff there seems relentless.

Ventured into a sporting warehouse on Saturday to look for the first cricket set for B1.2 who is 7 and built like an elf. In the end we plumped for a lightweight plastic practice thing that has its own pop up ball launcher. He's not really very sports oriented, so we figured the pleasure he will get in playing with the launcher might keep him with a bat in his hands longer.
BL in a sports warehouse? Think Alice in Wonderland, and you've got it about right!

I thought that youse on the ship would enjoy this story most of all. Last Sunday was the first Pirate Church Christmas Special 'Away Into Danger'. As is our custom, we went out for dinner afterwards in Chinatown, at about 10pm, accompanied by some friends who had come to see the show. We ordered enough food to feed a small army, and made lots of raucous noise, including singing (in the most mocking way possible) 'Shine Jesus Shine', 'Shout to the Lord' and 'The Power of Your Love'. I mean seriously mocking, I was doing little asides about the audacity of commanding Jesus to shine as if he wasn't already, and the lesbian couple were singing 'I sing for joy at the work of your hands' to each other like a love song.
Actually, we were being a bit due and inconsiderate towards the other diners. But it was a pretty noisy place, so it wasn't too bad.
The kicker came when it was time to pay. Another diner, evidently hearing our joyous singing and raucous laughter, had paid for our meal (for eight people) including multiple bottles of Tsingtao beer! He asked the server to tell us 'Merry Christmas from a fellow Christian'.
And that, dear Shipmates, is the power of Jesus at work in the world today.

I don't think there are large numbers of University students at any church in Christchurch Martin, although if you're meaning High School there are a number who attend the Anglican Cathedral. There are probably a few at St Michael and All Angels (very High Anglican) The Church I attend which is liberal Presbytarian is definately one of the more inclusive ones in Christchurch (although I'm not sure if the Presbys will yet ordain gay people). A few years ago our church was stoned due to having a gay minister.
If you're asking on behalf of anyone I can ask around as I'm a bit out of touch with what's happening at different churches since the quakes. Feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions.

Yes, longer than the surgeon's estimate too. That was because of the side effect of innards not working well having been placed on chest for access and then replaced. They took offence at this.
He says back is good and he is very grateful for release of pain there. Has been on very nasty cocktails of powerful drugs for months.

He is often in the lead car in the Melbourne ANZAC marches, and at the AFL ANZAC Day matches. Amazing guy - and the same age as Mum. Some tough genes, hey.

God bless him and we need his story to be told! Wish the story had more coverage!

I love that carol! If your dial-up can cope with 2.5 minutes of YouTube, you can find a version here.

BL. Most intrigued.
He/she may have been referring to the NZ version charismatic renewal that of course happened both sides of the Tasman but which was probably more conspicuous in EnZed - and EnZedders often lie to think "hey/we lead the world" in more than just the sunrise. One scholar attributes the beginning of the renewal to Ray Muller, something of a bette noir in my cv, who was in the 1960s curate at my "church of origin" (I was there 20 years later), and who went on to be a leading light in the NZ version of renewal (though I would have to say there are many complexities and ambiguities in the subsequent narratives).
Or your interlocutor may have been speaking of the early 1900s renewal, in which case h/she's confused EnZed with Wales. An easy mistake to make. Except on the rugby field.
Or any other way, really. ![[Ultra confused]](graemlins/confused2.gif)

Finished for the year! Well, almost, as I have some chamber work to do over the weekend and then the usual tidy-up on Monday. Christmas/New Year at home, then down the coast for a week or so before a quick trip for winter in Vienna. I might start to think about retiring this time next year, but that depends upon Madame allowing me.
