Travel - Part of undertaking this "seachange" in my life has been the release of much more time for my ministry work. In case you didn't know I am the Director of a scouting program for boys and girls in New South Wales. The program, called Rangers, is part of the Assemblies of God denomination and Australian Christian Churches movement in Australia. Beginning this week I am travelling across the state promoting Rangers to pastors of AOG churches. You can check out my itinerery here. 8:34:19 AM    Comments ()

Speaking of chooks - the broody hen turned out to be a big disappointment. She ended up leaving her nest a few times over the course of the 28 day incubation period resulting in zero hatchlings from the five eggs she was setting. In a bid to encourage her [who ever heard of encouraging a chook] I bought four day old pullets from the local rural store. Would she mother them? Of course not. Now I've got four three day old chicks under the brooder! The only consolation is that she did finish off the incubation of one turkey chick. 8:30:41 AM    Comments ()

And more rain - another 40mm of rain over the last three days. Tanks are full. Grass is growing and the chook pen is a mud bath! 8:27:06 AM    Comments ()
