"Where Have You Been, My Blue-eyed Son?"

One of my favourite Dylan songs ("Hard Rain's Gonna Fall") - also a fitting title for one whose absence from the blogsite has been noted.

So, Thursday night was a trip to the movies - 2012 (to be reviewed at some future opportune moment).

Friday - Planning meeting for Otahuhu Community event, following Paid Union Meeting, following Teacher Only Day, in the evening a family trip to Bosco Verde, with yours truly feeling sick as a parrot - a bad cough, snuffles, a headache and a hot feverish sensation in my head.

Saturday - Worship Team meeting from 9.30am to 3pm, a long walk, leaf-blowing, evening watching "Kavanagh, Q.C." (according to the cover this features Ewan McGregor, but I can't spot him!)

Still feeling sick.

Sunday - play bass at church (good sermon from Fred about personal spiritual discipline - also a slot in which Fred began to bake a cake with a bunch of children - great stuff!).

Sunday family do (Baxters), still feeling sick and a bit tired...

Then Kavanagh at night again, then starting the pantomime for school.

Monday up and down Rangitoto with 73-75 year 10s (GREAT weather, and a wonderful feeling for YT to be able to undertake such physically demanding activity).

BBQ! With Andrew helping out as YT needed a bit of confidence (the last time I used this BBQ was just before the discovery of my cancer, so there's a bit of Significance around it - it was my birthday present last year)...

Home group, where we continued with our plans to take over the world (with Faith, Hope and Love).

Then Back to the Blog.

Please pray for Holly's sister, Fiona, who is in chemo for her ovarian cancer (in Queensland) and is only 45 years old...she has 2 children, one who is about 20 and one who is about 15 (I think).

So...see you again tomorrow, okay (finished the Panto script this arvo, so now all set to do reports!)?

Gerald.
