More photos...

Yes - I know one is there twice - but I like that one...

Man - I'm getting the hang of this... the habit is developing...

Well - This must be like three days in a row. I think that my blog may eventually even achieve the greatness of 'The Life of Us' blog (see the link on the sidebar).

Don't know if I will ever get the number - an quality - of Bron's pictures either....

Oh well - something to aim for!

I'll have to settle for this (see on the left...)

Chris.

I have some followers!!

WooHoo!

I have two followers!

Thanks - I feel loved!

The 'Church' - ideas and thoughts

For some time now, Amy and I have been looking into what 'Chruch' should be all about. I guess that part of this search has grown out of a dissatisfaction with the 'program' intensive environments that we have found ourselves in.

Tonight we decided to 'formally' begin this journey - that is to say that we got a little more serious about the 'research' side of things. 

Here is where we started... www.khouse.org/6640/BP104

If you are on the same journey - or wish to convince us that we are heratics of some kind - I encourage you to check out the studies, and post some comments.

Subscribe & Followers

Hey - post no.3 for a night!

I just added a 'subscribe' and 'followers' button. It is at the bottom of the page at the moment - I will try and move it to the side so that it is easier to see - but if you are a friend - please do both of these - it will make it easy for you to 'keep up' with my very random blogging - and for me to 'see' who 'could care less' about what I'm writing.

Cheers - Chris.

September Holidays - Part 1

Another post in less than 5 min!

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'

Brief 3 month update!

Well - how are you all doing? My guess is that there is actually no one who is reading this - but I did after giving David a call this afternoon remember to check his (well - it is really Bron's) blog (The Life of Us) - which then reminded me that:-

I HAVE NOT POSTED ON THIS DUMB BLOG THING FOR EVER!

So - now that I have got that out of my system - here is an update...

In the last 3 months we have...

- gone to Mackay for my grandma's 90th (Nick flew up from Canberra and we drove up - good times)

- survived another term at school (still adjusting to teaching Film & TV - getting there)

- conducted a variety of house maintenance (installed a water tank, cleaned out the gutters, repaired a very badly rotted section of the fascia, got a new hammer drill, put up some blinds, put up many shelves, trimming, light fixing.... lots of trips to the dump)

Ok - obviously there has been more going on  - but right now I'm trying to get more posts on this here blog - so that it looks 'legit'

-Peace out - Chris.
