You know, I do try to keep up with goings on here - I just don't post as often as I ought. Interestingly, I have been on the ship for ten years this month. It's been quite a ride.
Something that is, at least in part, inspired by The Ship, is a little project I'm doing called Pirate Church. It will be at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, 3-13 April. There are also Newcastle and Sydney shows on 14 and 15 April respectively.
So anyway, I just wanted youse to know so that if you're around those areas, you can come see and bring many dozens of paying friends.

Thanks to Vulpior & partner, Orfeo, Rowen & Worm in the Grass who all made it to Hogs Breath along with TP & I for a shipmeet.
I'm afraid the fish burgers disagreed with TP & I, especially TP, so we made a rather precipitate exit. Sorry about that! Hope everyone else is ok - be glad you didn't pick the fish, shippies. I am now about to curl up with my sleepy drugs again, and dream of having a normal sized nose. ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)

Yes. Choose meat if you're going to Hog's Breath. TP's comment, after a night of heartburn was: "Well, that's what you get for going to a Bogan Restaurant."
And that's what you get if you leave the choice to a Bogan. Next time, someone else choose the venue! ![[Disappointed]](graemlins/disappointed.gif)

Glad it was a good time Zappa. I think because TP has been on such a low salt, low fat diet for so long (he has haemochromotosis), doing something as ordinary as battered fish with bun and chips really knocked him about.
Now rapidly devolving in his memory to "the night you tried to kill me in front of your SoF friends".
He was the one who chose from the menu. I have witnesses!!!

Surely, one should be exempt from Dentistry for at least a year after having a heart attack.
Man, it's busy. Writin a new cricket parody blog, trying to finish a series of novellas, edit a novel, run a house and somehow wishing for some more paid work.
Ooh, and heading to Perf in late March for Mr Curly Senior's 80th birthday. We could meet.

Gale now on of which i have never seen the like.
The rain is lashing the house from the west and making a mockery of the protection of the covered outdoor areas.
Just called the hospital to cancel my confirmation of 30 mins agao that I would be there to talk to the nursing staff on the role of Chaplaincy in the Hospital.
All windows closed.
I have a retreat in Brisbane tomorrow for the start of my Diploma, but I doubt we will make it there tonight.

We're in for a wild and stormy night here in Sydee. All cricket called off tomorrow, in advance, which is rare.
Middle is studying the film Stand By Me later this term, and we watched it with good friends tonight. Great film, and River Phoenix astonishingly good.

Today was lovely. A friend and I went to a Festival of flowers held in the Botanic Gardens. My favourite display used designs in porta-loos, which were very well done and also topical for Christchurch. One was "Low cost Housing for Christchurch - with a window showing a table and a kitchen painted on the back wall. A small storey on the top showed a cat sitting at the window. Another was labelled CERA* Throne Room was painted in shiny royal blue and the door was locked.
*Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority - who have enormous land acquiring powers and are not very popular.
There were also wee glasshouses made to look like cottages. They displayed styles of flower arrangements through the years.
A local muso sang as kids cartwheeled in front of him and some couples waltzed. It was magical and one of the best times I have had since Sept 2010.
Then my friend took me back to his place for tea and delivered me home.
I even managed to forget for a while that I have a scary biopsy tomorrow.

Belated Birthday greetings for Banner Lady on the 23rd.
This announcement came from FD, but I was away this w/e on a retreat for the start of my further studies in Spiritual Care and didn't get to check my messages until now.
We were lucky with the storm, some furniture got wet (dried now) and the neighbour's 40m lemon scented gum tree did not fall. Just a couple of trees to sort out and some pruning to make sure the power lines do not get brought down in another storm.
Got to my retreat only 20 minutes late

Thanks for the prayers and support.
I survived - only to have the doctor tell me the sample taken may not be sufficient, if which case the next will be taken at the hospital and I will be knocked out first.
Wodders I loved your take on CERA - it cheered me (and several other people) greatly.
LK, I've never heard of a lemon scented gum tree, though the scent of gums is one of my earliest memories. There is an old stand of them across the road from the school where I volunteer and when I wait at the bus stop they provide welcome shade as well. The road is one of the oldest in Christchurch as it's one the early settlers used over the hills from the port.

Sorry for chipping in from the other side of the globe (and from yesterday, relative to where you are), but I'm reading a lot in Dutch newspapers about the visit of the politician Wilders to Oz. Are you hearing a lot about that? I'm quite impressed with how the Australian interviewers debate him. Mostly, the Dutch media just slavishly repeat his views.

Personally I have seen a little but not that much coverage of him and very little said about his actual views, there has been coverage of protests against his presence here but I think maybe there's been an element of restraint shown by the media (I live in hopes) by not giving him too much publicity.

At this stage, my diary is somewhere in an online backup somewhere, while I await a replacement laptop from my insurance company - the laptop was stolen from our place last week, and the insurance company is swamped (pun intended) with cloaims from the floods in the East. But I am fairly sure either date is fine.
