Being transformed by the renewing of our minds …
Ever feel like just sleeping? That’s what I’m feeling like at the moment. And then when I wake up, I’d like to stay in bed.. and just read 🙂 Uni is pretty busy, and I’m on prac too. I need a bit of help getting up in the mornings…
Hon, the rains’r here!
I’ve been wondering for ages… what is the idea of a patio frame with no cover? It’s NOT going to stop ANYTHING – leaves, sun, rain… ?? But that is the case here at our townhouse complex – each townhouse has a frame, but no roof. If you want a roof you have to add it yourself! (After getting body corp permission, of course!) Any ideas people? Maybe it’s a conspiracy!!! (Insert eeeery music here)
Anyway, so after MONTHS (and months) of working on it (because we found termites have eaten away some of the foundation poles, which needed to be replaced)…we finally have a lid on our shell… So… when it started raining, I had to test it out.. YAY – no leaks!
It kind of reminds me of what we were reading in D-Team on monday from Matthew 7…Â
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”
 Yay, God!
P.S. Don’t forget to vote in the poll – What will Jonny have for Lunch on Monday?
Australia, it is up to you!!
Happy Birthday Mummy and Abby !!!

We’ll miss you mate.
Geoff and I went shopping a while ago with Scott and Jo in the city. We went into Myer to look for a glass plate to replace one that Scott had broken, belonging to a friend of theirs. Whilst we were in there, low and behold, I spotted the coolest looking COW MUG!!! AND it was HUGE! It was close to competing with my “Milka” cow mug from Germany which I use most mornings for my cup of tea (thanks Michaela!)…
Geoff offered to buy it for me with his spending money, so of course, I jumped at the idea! But then, he offered to half it with me! What? I wasn’t going to spend $6.50 of my money, when he had already offered to buy it for me!?! (It was $12.95) So I said, that’s okay, I don’t really need it. So he gave in and said he would buy it for me.
When we went to the register, it scanned at 7.95 and we got 20% off… so he only ended up paying $6.36 for it anyway!
Yesterday Geoff convinced me to make him some custard slice (one of his favourites). Only problem was, Coles didn’t have any Lattice Biscuits. So we decided to try something new as a base/top – puff pastry! It all seemed to go well, until I tried to get the second puff pastry off the tray – it was stuck! So Geoff scraped off as much as he could. Then all went as usual… until we went to eat some.
Let’s just say, it was a little …. sloppy?
Here is a photo from Ignite, the Youth Camp for our church youth group, Infusion!
I have to say, everyone has such wonderful dress sense!

I have FROGS!!! There are currently 4 green tree frogs, and more on the way!
These are from the 2nd and 3rd bunch of tadpoles I got.
Here are some photos of my little green tree frogs!
Other news: Originally we thought that only 1 of the first lot of tadpoles had survived the terribly cold weather we had back in July, (and had even sometimes struggled to find it in the pond!) however before going camping I had a squiz in the pond, only to find 2 giant tadpoles!!! I was shocked – all this time we had thought there was only one! We are not sure what type of frog they will be, but they are starting to get legs.
Funny Story!
Last night, Geoff was up working late so I went to bed. He was still using the fan though, so he said he would bring it in when he comes to bed. I woke up at 2:15am stinking hot and couldn’t get back to sleep. Geoff was stirring, so I asked him to jump up and get the fan.
As I lay there, I could hear dragging sounds, and he was taking forever. So I say, “what are you bringing in a whole desk to put it on?”. And I get some mumbled reply, like “you asked me to”. So I sat and watched, trying to see the white frame of the fan he was dragging in, but after a while I could begin to make out a black frame.. and some handles… so I say, “what are you doing?”.
He replies, “I’m bringing you the exercise bike”.
I laugh.
“But I want the FAN!”
I think… What on earth am I meant to do with an exercise bike at 2:30 in the morning!!!??? (Tania and Corienne would know that I’m not a fan of morning exercise!)
So he brought in the fan, and I tried to sleep, however everytime I tried to sleep I just thought of him bringing in the bike and laughed. But a little sleep depravation was worth it – 10 funnies sweetheart!
Tadpole Update: One of my little green tree frog tadpoles now has arms as well as legs, so when he swims he no longer uses his tail like before but swims like a frog!!!
