20180503 – Thursday – The doctor, again. Well, I think I am jinxed! Today was my 2nd visit to the doctor. I think Gail stayed home for the morning to see that no disasters occurred for me and to be around if I needed her. Yes, well… Everything went okay to begin with, I had […]

20180503.1 – Thursday – Waiting for my trailer

 20180503.1 – Thursday – Waiting for my trailer Having written my diary for so many years, and writing only “to me,” means that I write very fluently and it just flows out of me.  So when I went on this trip, and decided I would write for my friends, I found that the whole way […]

20180503 – Thursday – Waiting for my trailer.

20180503 – Thursday – Waiting for my trailer. Well, here I am again, sitting in Maccas and waiting 2 hours for my trailer to be completed. I am actually very happy that Maccas exists, because when I am in a strange town, there is usually a Maccas somewhere, so just key it into my GPS […]

20170531 – Life is like a bell curve

Recently, I was chatting with a friend about how difficult it is to get the right balance between “Spiritual” life and our daily, “Worldly” life, and this balance doesn’t get easier as the years pass.

20170519 – Cumberland’s Special Effort – The Judgment Seat, Darren Tappouris

A long time ago, and I think it was around 1986 or 1987, a bunch of Sydney boys came to Adelaide around Xmas time, probably for the end of year studies. Amongst them were the Tappouris brothers, Darren and his younger twin brothers. I met up with them because they were friends with my children […]
