Busy, but still YouTube-ing

Hiya. Things are getting quite busy here now, with getting ready for Father''s day next weekend, Women's camp the weekend after, Pedal Prix the weekend after that Hen/Buck's nights the weekend after that and after that ... is Tony and Leonie's wedding (oh did I mention that I am offically matron of honour now, working 7 days a week on the wedding and loving it!).

I know I mentioned previously that we have been getting pretty into Brotherhood 2.0 (two brothers in America who don't textually communicate but rather send each other video blods every day) and I am very excited that the brothers have one of my (MY!) video's as a favourite on their page (smiling so much my cheeks hurt). So because of all the new traffic that I'm getting I've been busy putting up most of my other productions (including Uncle Trev's memorial). You can check out what I've stuck up at our YouTube page. My video for John Green's birthday (one of the brother's) received over 100 hits in the first day, and if you are looking at it, check out the comment from John himself - Eeeeeeeeeep, I'm so happy!


Pictures are always good, so here is one I took last week when Whyalla was swallowed up by a cloud and the cob weds in our neighbour's yard were frozen!

Anyway, before all this fame goes to my head I should go and play Bob the builder with Calvin (I think I'm Wendy).
Stay safe, Love and hugs to you all.

Third time lucky





Third time lucky. Here are the photos of our trip with the tractors and a photo of some of the people chatting around after the prayer gathering in the lions park. Unfortunately only three mls of rain out the back on the crops. looking at them today I would say we only have about a week before they will start to die off from lack of moisture. Selling more sheep at jamestown tomorrow and have another mob ready yo go to Dublin on monday. Busy weekend with three services on Sunday.

Goodbye to the old , welcome to the new

For the last two days i have been trying to create a new blog and as soon as i try to add some pictures I loose my internet connection and then get frustrated for the next couple of hours as I try to reconnect. So here goes without the photos

Last friday morning we loaded the 4640 onto Neil Byerlee's Semi and headed to Roseworthy to pay and pick up our new tractor. Darryl and I had to go ahead in the Ute with flashing lights and "Oversize load" but we had a good run there and back with no problems. We are waiting for the new cultivator and Seed cart to come from Western Aust. to complete the deal. may have to wait a few weeks as the carriers are busy with Field days at present. Had 20 points of rain last week which freshened up the crops a bit but still need that good soaking rain. On sunday afternoon I had to organize a Combined churches Prayer gathering down at the Lions park Had over 60 people turn up a couple of hick ups with the music but apart from that it went well.

Batman and Supergirl! (and the show)



















Hi all. Been aaaaaaages, but we are still here. Decided to break two traditions this year. Despite the fact that we have not missed a single Adelaide show since the kids were around we will not be going this year. Instead, despite the fact that we have managed not to attend a single Whyalla show since moving here, we took the kids along to the show yesterday. Was not as bad as I thought, and it was really lovely to see Calvin's yellow star that he had made at kindy (Occasional Care) on display in the education pavilion. We had decided that the kids could pick one ride each and a show bag, and they both really enjoyed the 'little ferris wheel' and the 'mini rollercoaster' but when it came to the show bags we just couldn't bring ourselves to wasting money on cheap and nasty toys. So we took a trip to Target instead! And now Calvin has a Batman costume, which is great for Natalie because now she can have a turn at being Supergirl. [We may have also picked up singstar 90's for the grownups - Oh my goodness, it is BRILLIANT!]

Anyway, I finally have some photos so I thought it was a good time to post. (The jumping ones were taken down the beach last weekend. Thought they were funny given my own experience of jumping off things, superhero style, at the beach, No kid was harmed in the making of these photos).

Hope that you are all doing well. Love and hugs.

From Whyalla - new drama

Hiya. Hope that you are all ok. Been ages since I have written - sorry. There is no batteries in the camera and so when I don't take pics I don't think to blog.

I'm blogging now though because I have made another Adrian Plass drama video (Kerryn you will recognise it as the one under 'truth' in his new book, Bacon sandwiches and Salvation).

You can check it out at Youtube
Please do, and please feel free to rate it (I'm starting to get really competitive about Youtube!!!).
[Sorry there is indeed some black screen at the beginning - please be patient] I made this video to be used in church tomorrow night - now I just need the computer and projector to work together so that everyone at tomorrow nights service can see it!

Love and hugs to you all.

(PS If you are wondering, the kids are going well (ignored by their parents, but well) and if you want to know what Stuart has been doing all weekend checkout brotherhood 2.0 wiki (two awesome brothers who video blog to each other everyday, check it out!) where Stuart has been writing and setting up large slabs of their wiki page. 'Nerdfighters!')
