So - we just had the September holidays. Good times!
It is amazing to think that it was a full year ago that we drove down to Canberra - spent time with Nick, and then onto Syd to see Dave and Bron! Man - we mentioned on more than one occasion that we just wished we had more $ so that we could just 'do it again' (maybe sometime soon).
To the holiday:
Firstly, to conclude term 3, I (on Friday afternoon) had just returned from grade 11 camp - which on the scale of 'Difficult Camp Experiences' rated towards the 'not so hard' end of the spectrum. This was a good thing - however, I still crashed out for several hours upon getting home.
This sets up the scene for the September holidays to occur.
Sat Morning:-
We had some friends over for brunch - we have been trying very hard to reciprocate some hospitality towards some friends (the husband - Josh - who sits across from me in the staff room) who have a huge beautiful heart. They are kind of people who just make you feel good - generous - full of evidence of the 'fruit of the Spirit'. We had a great time catching up with these guys [yep - should have taken a photo... oh well]
Sat Night:-
After cleaning up from brunch - the 'real' cleaning started. Mum and Dad arrived at 6:30. They were staying for a week.
Sun night:-
I have my first gig at the Brisbane Jazz Club - cool stuff. This was with the Ipswich City Big Band. It was quite stressful - (setting up all the gear - P.A. and stuff) in part, but turned out to be a great night. Had a chance to catch up with an old mate (Paul Henderson - studied with in Mackay).
This night was interesting - Ipswich got hammered with golf ball sized hail for about 1/2 hour. Our place only had some run off damage (and some 'impressionable' marks in our back patio). Our neighbour's solar hot water system was destroyed - and some teachers (that is colleagues are getting their roofs replaced)...
Ok - getting tired - will return to this tomorrow... in
'September Holidays - Part 2'
