I saw that but did not connect the name. Horrible news.
Prayers for Emli and all those in that community.. May he rest in peace and rise in glory and may light perpetual shine on him.

Zappa, very best wishes for you and Kuruman as you search for a new appointment. Sydney's out. of course.
Rowen that's excellent progress. Are you up to chopping the firewood yet? Good exercise generally and excellent for regaining balance.

I'm banned for a year. Actually I doubt I'll ever relicence - I've done a 29 year dash and it may be time to lay up my stole.
In any case after media exposure overnight I think my (former!) bishop will extend that year for life - with hard labour. He specifically stated that there was to be no media battle ... and then realised a cryptic, tantalising media release. ![[brick wall]](graemlins/brick_wall.gif)

Many thanks everyone for your prayerful support at this time of mourning. The sudden death of Fr Max has left so many bomb craters of grief and bewilderment. As some of you might have read in the newspapers, Fr Max was killed by his own bull - he was not gored, as some reports said - but that is little consolation.
Please prayer for his wife Jane, their family, the community of Putty, and for the five Communities of Our Lady - worship communities now in shock and struggling on so many different levels. Please also pray for guidance and support for myself as Community Leader and the ministry team as we pastor to all (including each other).
Fr Max's requiem is being celebrated on Thursday next at 12 noon, at St Alban's Anglican Church, Epping. I feel that this is going to be one of the hardest funerals I've ever taken outside of those of my parents, and we all need all the prayers possible.

To add to prayers. Sudden deaths are always a great shock. And also for Zappa and Kuruman
Hoping he attempt to push it over on a bishop. (But not my favourite retired one).

While Biggest now has his "P's", it would appear Mrs Curly and Middle have had an eventful driving lesson this afternoon, with the car ending up on its side after a slow-motion roll. All (physically) unharmed.
Not sure we'll be enjoying the 50th we are going to tonight quite as much as we were hoping to.

That woukd be a very unpleasant shock to the system. Hope they are both ok.
My eldest grandson, Biggest's age and year, spoke to me yesterday. Could he bring his two sisters to lunch tomorrow. His dad is in France and I Am not sure if he had asked his mother or even if this was his own idea. However, I was enthusiastic and will take everything else at face value. He has had Ps for a bit longer than your son and is a consistently careful driver who travels at traffic speed on freeway. Or whatever the latest name is for such.

Indeed. They seem OK today.
If it hadn't been for the upward slope of the footpath and the rock steps heading up to the adjacent house, it would have been a routine "kerb mounting" requiring a wheel alignment.
I think a video of it would look hysterical and make us a fortune on Funniest Home Videos. Alas

Yes indeed Lothlorien. This is probably a good time to announce that Mr W and I are spending the next five weeks out of the country. France, then Mr W in Poland at a choir competition and me in Germany and then Enland and Wales. May start a shipment thread.

Sounds wonderful. Middle son is honeymooning in France and I am just off phone to them. They have had a couple of days in Bangkok, Paris for a couple of days. Driving around, now on way to Bordeaux. Another couple of weeks touring, then final week in Paris. Then back to Bangkok and home. Weather has been wonderful and son has been seeing how far his schoolboy French will go. Doing quite well, actually.
Enjoy your time away. I hope you have as wonderful a time as they are..
Edited to add: a shipmeet thread with some ideas of dates and places would be good.

Home last night from a weekend in sunny Napier.
A week ago it was 'Well, we won't see Zappa 'cos he'll be busy with the Synod and we'll be busy at the Progressive Spirituality conference.'
Now it's 'What if all the church hierarchy had to wear a "What Would Jesus Do?" bracelet (and not just the Anglican ones)?'

Nothing so dramatic. Turning left onto Canoon Rd from Chisolm - in full view of the long line of traffic going the other way out of the netball courts after the last game had finished. ![[Hot and Hormonal]](icon_redface.gif) At least there were plenty of people to help.
They both seem to be OK. Awaiting news from the insurer.

Ta ... as it happened I had long been shouldered out of any involvement in the hosting of synod ... I wasn't even on the planning committee for the liturgy at the cathedral, because after all why would the dean be asked to have a part?
Which would just perhaps make me wonder if my departure wasn't somewhat prearranged. But why would I think that? After all, all church processes are clear, transparent, and just as Jesus would do. ![[Disappointed]](graemlins/disappointed.gif)
And do I care that I out myself and my thoughts? Nah.

Yes, plenty of people to help right your car, and to embarrass poor Middle. Must have ruined his party plans for the evening.
Seriously though, we are remembering them. It looks as if there will be no after-effects.

Your son seems to be travelling pretty quickly. Tell him to slow down and enjoy France. He should not rub in the French loss at Agincourt though. Still a cause to hate the English in some parts.

I have said that to him re speed. He has spent a couple of nights in the one place. I had no input into itinerary so it is a surprise to me too. He has broken journey to Bordeaux for a couple of nights. Not one long dash.

Fire on here. Definitely on at Rowen"s! Yes, snowfalls have happened in Tassie and Victoria. All we had was fresh wind and showers. TP is happy because after a long dry autumn, the tanks are full again, and he is in his temperate climate comfort zone at last.
Today I will be visiting my mother who has had no phone line for nearly a week. This has upset various members of the far flung family who wanted to call her on mother's day. This needs sorting out.
I really understand why those in aged care facilities get so ticked off with the attitude "Well, they've got nothing to do, and all day to do it, so they can wait some more."
The worst part is knowing it is my largely generation doing this to them. When we are in the same situation (and there will be many more of us), I doubt we will have the same patience. But if what goes around comes around we will be in deep trouble.

Snow overnight Rowen?
These mornings are just the best for breakfast. The sun is low enough to come in under balcony above and fill my loungeroom. I am sitting here enjoying warm sun on bare feet. It istill around 7 degrees here, possibly our coolest morning this year, but lovely. Autumn has been too hot.

Just a bit cooler here – I wore a warm jacket when I went for my walk along the stream in the bush*. And lots of rain at last.
And on sunny days the sun is low enough to stream through the living room windows and make it really warm.
*Why do the medical professionals always ask 'how long did you walk for?' rather than 'How far did you walk?' From where I park my car to the picnic ground, it's half a kilometre. I tried doing it really briskly yesterday; it took 7-8 minutes and I got a bit puffed but I reckoned it was good cardio stuff for an oldie – 4 km an hour, eh? But I walked back more slowly, and stopped to watch the water and listen to the birds. What sort of exercise is strolling?

No snow in my town, but friend and I drove up to our two Victorian ski resorts.... And drank hot chocolate, took photos of snow, marvelled at the fog, and generally were cold and excited!
Mind you, very cold in my town too! Just not that cold.....
