29 on the 29th

Tuesday, March 28th, 2006

As someone at work said to me, today is rather special.
It being my birthday, I’ve turned 29 on the 29th: that’s not going to happen again.
I was feeling better so I’ve headed back to work today: I was a bit nervous for some reason, but now I’m here it’s good to be doing something and [...]

Die Zauberflöte

Tuesday, March 28th, 2006

Thank you all again for your comments, wishes and prayers. Very much appreciated.
Last Monday I went with two friends to see Opera Australia’s production of Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute) at the Sydney Opera House. If you haven’t been to the Opera House, while it is a stunning building from the outside, the [...]

Getting There

Saturday, March 25th, 2006

Thanks to all for your concern, prayers, thoughts and messages. Very much appreciated.
A rather interesting week: I went to the Opera Monday [I'll hopefully blog about that tomorrow]; I felt terrible Tuesday; and Wednesday, on the advice of my doctor, I checked myself into hospital for a few days.

I was very frightened at the [...]

A Fun Evening with my Niece

Friday, March 17th, 2006

Thank you once again for your prayers, thoughts and comments. Very much appreciated.
I had a better night last night: thanks be to God. I woke up at around 4:30, which is better than 2:00! I feel a bit better as well: people at work say I have a bit more colour and [...]

Thank You

Thursday, March 16th, 2006

Thank you for your prayers and supportive messages. God bless you all.
And thank you God for the wonderful parents I have: I woke up at 2 this morning in tears and didn’t know what to do. I called home and, unknown to me, dad set off for my place and stayed with me [...]

Prayers

Monday, March 13th, 2006

Things aren’t too crash-hot at the moment.
I feel overwhelmed, though I’m sure anyone else could cope. I just don’t feel I have the strength to do all I need to do: which isn’t a lot, grant you, but I’ve never been good at coping with mutliple things. I am but a simple man [...]

QVB Tea Room

Sunday, March 12th, 2006

An absolutely wonderful afternoon in an absolutely wonderful place: the Tea Room at the QVB.
The QVB — Queen Victoria Building — is an absolutely exquisite building, completed in 1898, almost demolished in the late 1950s [Sydney likes to get rid of its old buildings]; and restored from 1984 to 1986. It now houses shops [...]

Travelling to Work: the Train

Friday, March 10th, 2006

The first week that I rode my bike from and to the station near work: well, almost every day. Today (Friday), my legs were quite sore so I gave myself the day off and drove in. A bit quicker…but not as enjoyable.
I don’t have anything as exciting as Chas does : grand Town [...]

First Mystery Worship Report

Tuesday, March 7th, 2006

My first Mystery Worship report (well, actually my second: my first, done on the Sunday before, isn’t up as yet) for Ship of Fools is up. Click here to read about St Anthony of Padua, Tahmoor.
Click here to see the Ash Wednesday reports: very interesting reading. I do love the Mystery Worshipper project, [...]

The Didache

Monday, March 6th, 2006

Bible Study for the past two months or so has been on The Didache. I didn’t make every session unfortunately, but those I did attend I found very profitable. And I’m not just saying that because our sub-deacon, who takes the Bible Study, looks at this blog now and again.
It was [...]
