Currently reading

'A Rose for the ANZACs'.

As an aside,  ANZAC stands for Australia and New Zealand Army corps. The soldiers in these forces are called ANZACs. ANZAC day on 25th April is one of Australia's most important national occasions. It is a National holiday and there are a lot of parade's and ceremonies commemorating those lost at war.  I have to say, in my opinion, they respect their war dead a lot better over here than in the UK.

Reading  is easy here, lots of libraries and lots of books. The only challenge is browsing with Ruben who spends most of the time racing up and down the library with a trolley. I usually just grab 6 of the fattest books I can find and hope that at least a few of them are worth reading.

Currently watching

6th season of the West Wing. After watching a bit of TV when we first arrived, I decided I can't really be bothered with it.  I would rather watch a series of my choice when I want to.

Currently listening to:

I can get UCB radio here at home and in the car and I love it. So many interesting programmes on different things. I especially like the news updates from a Christian perspective and things about Australia's rich Christian heritage.  Australia is surprisingly more openly Christian than the UK. There are lots of Christian schools and chaplains in many schools, whether they are Christian or not.

Currently praying about:

I know we have just moved here and are always moving, but this is what I am challenged to pray about. God gave us time, talent and treasure, how are we using them?? 'Only one life, 'twill soon be past. Only what's done for Christ will last.'  (UCB May 9th 2014) What should I/we be doing here or somewhere else. How should we be using our time, our talents and our treasure???

Currently enjoying:

The weather is now beautiful, sunny with blue skies almost every day and slightly cooler at night.

The landscape. It's nice to live somewhere so beautiful set amongst tropical hills.

Currently not enjoying:

If I'm honest, I am a little bit bored living in suburbia in the first world. Where are all the riots??? Not much happens here. It's a little bit far away from the action here.!!
