Don't be afaid

I just read one of the best things I've read in a long time. My brother's blog of Saturday the 25th. Read it because it's really good, but also because it's exactly how I feel. I was thinking about just cutting and pasting it to my blog, but that's just nasty. So do yourself a favour and go check it out at http://tubemantravels.blogspot.com Plus, the photo of Bairdy is a hoot (for you locals, he is the guy with the dog)

On Saturday night, Leights and Kitty went to Moyo.

They went for a walk across a moonlit bridge.

He asked her if she would.

She said yes.

They're getting married.

We're so happy! Well done guys and here's toa quick and smooth ride to the big day.

PS: the 3rd person in the photo is their waitress at Moyo - she's in there for context

The Tree



I didn't get Hayley flowers for Valentines day. In fact, I almost got her nothing. After weeks of thinking I realized I would have been better off spending weeks actually DOING something. Alas, as I was calling restaurants at 9:30pm on the 13th of Feb, some of them actually laughed at me. Humiliated, but not completely crushed, I made a late arvo trip.

I came home with a tree.

A tree is better than flowers because flowers die real quick. What's the symbolisms there?! No, a tree is permanent. A tree grows. A tree is life. A tree takes time. I figured that's kind of what I wanted to say about us, so I said it with a tree.

Strange night no more

Tim, Chad, Darren, William and Kyle.

The first grade 8 men for 2006. And as it turns out my nerves were for nothing! Great indoor soccer, festy great big gatsby with some glow in the dark fizzy drink and a game of brandings with one of those small bouncy balls Chad picked up from the shops. All in all a top start. It's Summer camp this weekend - so looks like we'll go from strength to strength.

Strange Night

Taking a leaf out of my brothers recent post I wish to begin by saying . . ."Tonight's going to be a strange night . . ."

I've got my first bible study with the new grade 8 boys. With nothing more than a soccer ball, R15 each for dinner and my trust co leader Joel by my side, we will step out into the unknown (literally, as I dodn't even know their names yet) and try and do this crazy thing called the grade 8 guys BS.

I've been doing this for over a decade now, but to be honest, I'm still a little anxious.

I'll let you know how it goes.
