Lindt Coffee Intense Dark Chocolate
Thursday, August 30th, 2007Mmmm.
Nothing else to say.
Except it appears Lindt Deutschland has a few more coffee flavours [but not coffee intense]. I may have to move.

Total Lunar Eclipse
Tuesday, August 28th, 2007Wonderfully visible from Sydney last night: clear skies, a warm night and with the eclipse occuring early in the evening. And what a sight it was. NASA was taking the chance to look for explosions caused by meteoroids crashing into the Moon .
I find such events fascinating: not only for their beauty, but [...]
Moses the Black
Tuesday, August 28th, 2007Troparion:
You did abandon the Egypt of passions
and fervently ascended the mount of virtues,
and did take Christ’s Cross on your shoulders.
You were glorified in your works
and were a model for monks,
O Moses summit of the Fathers.
With them pray unceasingly that we may obtain great mercy.
Kontakion:
You were enriched with divine illumination, O Moses,
and did dispel the [...]
Two Things to Watch
Monday, August 27th, 2007The latest episode of Enough Rope and the new Australian film The Home Song Stories.
Why Enough Rope? Young Australian of the Year Tania Major who talks openly and honestly, painfully honestly, about the crises in Aboriginal communities today. I cried…and cried; the shameful episodes are not only in the past…there is much going [...]
Fun in Canberra
Monday, August 27th, 2007A very quick trip, as my cousin arrived in Sydney on Sunday morning, but a very enjoyable one.
As always, the choir of All Saints’, Ainslie did a marvellous job in leading us in worship, and the parishioners of St George’s warmly welcomed all visitors and put on a delicious supper afterwards: several varieties of soup, [...]
Thank You
Friday, August 24th, 2007Thank you for the comments, prayers and suggestions: all very much valued.
It’s been a good week though, thanks be to God. We had a win at trivia, so that was another $50- of pub money in the kitty for dinner next week. Work has been going along alright [no 5am stayovers this week]. [...]
Innocent as a Dove
Tuesday, August 21st, 2007Though not wise as a serpent, as I should be.
Once again, someone has intentionally manipulated me. They knew what to say to get me where they wanted me. This may sound harsh, at least it does from me [still wanting to think the best of everyone], but it is clear that they had [...]
Friday and Saturday
Sunday, August 19th, 2007Some fun and some drama.
Friday I caught up for dinner with two friends I haven’t seen for a while. A dramatic meal, as life has dealt one of them a few blows and I heard some news about other friends [hence my prayer request below], but I think he had a good time out. [...]
The Barber of Seville
Saturday, August 18th, 2007Thank you all for your concern: I am fully recovered after some rather long sleeps. Rather than overtime, I prefer to take time-in-lieu: and my managers are very good with this. I feel odd at times, especially as I am the only IT guy there and I worry about what may happen, but [...]
A long day at work…
Thursday, August 16th, 2007I arrived at work yesterday just before 8:30am, as usual, and left this morning at 5am. 20.5 hours.
We had a severe hardware failure of one of our servers around 6:30pm, while a software upgrade was being performed. Our external support providers, all thanks and praise to them, came to our office and we [...]
