Interesting Events

A couple of weeks ago, on the way to our swimming, I met a man on the bus who invited me along to see Don Tolman. We'd been chatting about my kids, and he mentioned about a man coming to speak on health and education, and then he offered to email me the details. I was slightly intrigued, and these days being more open minded, I thought why not? So with the free voucher I received in the email, I headed to the Adelaide Hyatt to hear him speak.

And I'm really glad I attended, it was well worth it. Much of what he had to say about food I was already aware of, but there were a few new things, and his story was fascinating. I think that is something, that is important to me, is to have a good story for a life. None of this, I was born, went to school, worked, retired and died. I think that may be why I dislike living in Adelaide, I suspect that, that is still the general ambition here.

Also Damien had an odd occurence recently. He saw a lady struggling with a trolley, whilst riding his bike, and went to help her. She said that she was fine, and as he was riding off, she said, whilst holding out her hand waving something, "Do you want it?" He wasn't quite sure what it was until, saying thanks, he took it. She gave him $5. He was very surprised.

So again it's worth saying thanks to the universe.

Thanks!

What's Been On

Well, it seems like it's about time I sit down and do another post on here.

We are coming to the end of our organised school year, and it's such a relief to be nearly done, particularly this last term with all these extra things we're currently doing. At present we're spending Tuesdays at Burnside pool, Thursdays at choir and Fridays at Highland dancing. Everyone has been enjoying it alot, but it is rather tiring with all these extra activities to do!

The choir sang in the lead up to the Christmas Pageant, and they did a marvellous job. All the children deal with it so confidently, it's nice to seem them so self assured.

Last weekend we attend the Alliance Francaise's French festival. I must admit it was a little lacking compared to a couple of years ago, but the music was still good this time. I particularly enjoyed Zaza Fournier. The food was rather lacking this year, as was the variety of beers according to Damien.
