Week 54 6-12 April CRD21

Sunday 6
Church in Bell today. Trevor preached. Pips n Cherries after. Very happy with their fixed door. Came home to moved remaining cattle. No luck we had to repair two lots of fences they broke. Should have just left them in the laneway. They ended up in the paddock behind the piggery. Homely they will find the gate through the old dairy to water. We have to leave them with Dad now. Started packing to go to Mackay. I had put the pump on before church. Turned the tap to tank above the dairy before bed.
Monday 7
Got up about 2 and turned taps to fill high tank above the top house. In the morning I pumped out septic tank, topped up mouse baits, put Explorer 1 in top shed, cleaned up tools on patio and turned off pump -all tanks are full. After breakfast, Robyn cleaned out the ute and I packed stuff. We said you goodbye and left aboutc10.30 for Mackay. Stopped for briefly in Wondi, Gin Gin fueled in Miriamvale stop Marmor then Camila arriving at Anna's at 8.30pm ready for bed. 
Tuesday 8
After a bit of a slow start, Anna and I took in bottles collecting $30. We check Dapplewood we will mow it to, took a trip to Bunnings and then started on mowing her yard. It was heavier going than I expected and with a few green ant laiden branches we made up a ute load. We dumped it and Robyn had lunch for us on our return. Sprayed weeds at Dapplewood and Robyn and I visit James and their boys. Roslyn was at work. Great to catchup with him. MCC is back to the future. James is finding his place keeping his head down and focusing on his family. He has applied to work with Jubilee but they are having a hiring freeze. 
Anna made us very nice rice paper rolls for dinner and we yarned. 
Wednesday 9
Went to Dapplewood today. Robyn worked on spreading the boxes and checking and re labelling them. I worked in the yard. Mowed, trimmed trees and cleaned off roof. We took a load of rubbish to the dump. Shane Delanty the AC man came and worked out the problem with the AC we left it running to check to see it is fixed. We went out to Jess' place in the afternoon to catchup with her. It was great to see her and hear her stories first hand. Came back and went to dinner with Lindy and Jason. Sylvia showed up as a surprise it was so nice to see them. Dwelt on the pass for a bit but moved to the present. Good but not great and then to other stuff. Didn't leave til 9.30pm. Really enjoyed seeing them. 
Thursday 10
Catching up day. First Steven Austen. Robyn catchup with Michelle and Cerise.
Steven was in a pretty good place committed to the care of the church. He is struggling to build any connection with Troy. Not sure how it will go. I encouraged him to be Christlike and act like himself. A saint saved by grace. Concerned he did not know how much money was in the AC fund.  Next was Chris Lee. Wanted to encourage him in his work as House Family Coordinator. He has good Captains and is making time to connect with them.  He likes year 10s and is working with towards camp for them. He is not doing any TT work. Robyn and I went to the house after that and the AC seems fixed and we went through more boxes in the shed and found stuff we wanted and relabelled boxes. Productive time. Got Andergrove Shop buffet for tea. Nice day. 
Friday 11
Started at breakfast with Chris Pengely. Then coffee woth Charli and 2 of the three kids. Dropped my phone in to be repaired them donated blood. Lunch with Mark and some time out before going to dinner with my people at Mt Dukes. It was Sylvia and Shane and Bree, Lindy and Jason Amarimand Jason's son and Lindys mum Bev.  Nice night again. 
Saturday 12
Went out and looked at a bike for Nathan. It was a good buy I reckon. After breakfast Robyn and Anna and I went and brought a microphone for Robyn's you tube plan. We had lunch with Lynn at 12 then home for a nap before going to watch Choosen with Anna, Hannah and Lynn. Finished the day with icecream at Baskins and Robins.

Week 69 20-27 July CRD57 W3 Europe

Sunday 20 Started the day with a visit to Kelpies on the North East of Falkirk. These huge art installation of two houses heads represent images of the Scottish mythical beast the Kelpie a water creature that looks like a horse. Very impressive. More driving in the beautiful Scottish countryside to our breakfast spot Tinto Hills Tearooms near Thankerton. Here I met a motorcyclist enjoying a ride and a Sunday morning coffee. Really think I need to come back and ride here. Next we visited Hadrain's wall or the ruins of part of it. It was the Romans Defence line across English to keep the Scots out. Originally 4 metres high what we saw was part of the foundations. The view of the English countryside was picturebook idyllic. Next we went to Lockerbie to see and reflect on the event of the Lockerbie bombing where a bombed PanAm jet literally fell out of the sky in 1988. The site were three houses were destroyed and 11 people on the ground killed is now a reflective garden. The momentum ...
