Blackout

28th February 2006 | 0 Comments

Two nights ago we had a blackout. It lasted for about three hours and meant that we couldn’t do anything much. It was still quite warm (went from 6pm to 9pm) so we had to just sweat it out. It’s amazing how technology keeps you awake at night, I was almost falling asleep around 9pm, [...]

The theme last Friday was ‘tea’ so here’s my entry. This is more related to afternoon tea and is titled ‘rock cakes’ done in oil on canvas.

This is the initial sketch for the painting.

This was what I painted it from.


Finally Some Photos

Took this shot on the day we all went to the national park. We were surrounded by 6 dive bombing Kookaburras which, now that I think of it, was appropriate as we were sitting in a group having a session about Spiritual Warfare!

Most of the week however we were inside and Kezi spent a lot [...]


The failure of the fan and the fridge

26th February 2006 | 4 Comments

As it often happens whenever someone goes away for more than a couple of days, a couple of things ‘went wrong’ while we were away.
Firstly our main computer stopped working which would have been ok except that I always record certain TV shows to send up to my family in Papua New Guinea. Turns out [...]


Still No Piccies But We’re Home

Flew home on Saturday and all went well. Kezi wasn’t bothered by the plane at all which is great. She is such a good bubby. We are both exhausted though as it was a full on week with a lot of information given to us about our new role. It was a real amazing thing [...]


Hi From Sydney

20th February 2006 | 1 Comment

I’ve just had my first opportunity to get onto the web so I thought I’d do a quick post. Been in Sydney since Wednesday last week and it’s been pretty full on but really great. We’re enjoying the meetings we’re having with SIM which is our orientation into our new role. Sydney weather hasn’t been [...]


And We’re Off….

Tomorrow we fly to Sydney (for those non-Perthies it’s around a 4hr flight) and it will be Keziah’s first plane trip. We’re going there to do orientatin for our new roles with SIM. I’m really looking forward to it as we will get to meet the other State Ministry Directors for SA, Tas, Qld, NSW [...]

This is a commissioning into our new roles as the SIM WA State Ministry Directors. If [...]
