91 year old example


Just found out that our 91 year old friend has passed on to Glory.
She was an amazing example of living life to the full, friendliness, godliness and had a great sense of humour.
We are really glad we got to see her when we were in NZ last year.
She was a grandmother to our youth group.
She even visited me after my operation!
She will be missed by many!
Thanks Beth for being our friend. :-)

Long facebook status

I have decided that instead of writing an epistle for my facebook status I should really do updates here.
Although the sporadic nature of my updates were I thought rather aloof and classy I will lean toward the pragmatic and resolve to update my blog more regularly.
Monday was women's day and a day off. So we took the chance to lay our carpet upstairs (we thought this day would never come!) and the attempted to try to get our couch up there. Easier said than done. After many illogical thoughts and ideas we managed to dissamble it not too much and get it up there. The view is beautiful from up there so any excuse to sit on the couch is taken!
Also really enjoyed watching "Julie and Julia" after our days work although we did have to sit on the floor now our couch was upstairs!
So great start to the week. Last night we hate two huge stupid cats (or should I say mini horses) outside making horrible noises so we attempted to creep up on them with a jug of water. Wasn't really all that successful. Our little cats just sit there. They need to start defending our territory!

A slice of history...

that I am even old enough to remember!
Here is a great story that captures a bit of it.

I remember my Mum being very excited and as she was my teacher she even got to re-write my history lessons!

What an amazing time in history :-)
