Life continues

Well college is back and changing rapidly. Staff changes, synod reviews and new subjects make for a very different experience this semester. Dare I say that I'm actually enjoying it? I think the mid year break made quite a difference - time out, a trip to visit Riss in PNG, and plenty of space to read (the new Harry Potter plus the Jasper Fforde series.) Now if I could just get the Ashes series sorted out and guarantee some priority picks for the Pies...

Mixed in with the good is always some of the sad. Nan Clark passed away in July, and while it's never a happy experience, the funeral marked her life well with tears, laughter and much love. Larissa delivered an incredible eulogy which is on her site here.

My own Nana Pender is not doing so well either. Which means Mum and Azzie (the cat) are staying with me at the moment. Damn cat ran away for a few days causing much angst here - although I did get to discover the local creeks and parks a little better searching for her. Remarkably she just rocked up one morning three days later - much rejoicing was had by all. Nana Pender is a day-to-day proposition. We shall see...

Off to see Sin City tonight. Quite hopeful that it will be all quality. A review should appear soon...

Thanks, but think she'd come back to give you a big hit for that 'e' on the end of her name tho!
