dot points.....again.....
Published November 19, 2007 by Sim inI'm going to stop apologising for being so lazy, otherwise every post will start with that, and that is no fun, so yeah - but I'm still sorry for this post. :)
So let the dot points begin! (unfortunately not in chronological order as I can't remember...)
- Bek is starting a teaching job at Werribee Primary, years 3/4.....TOMORROW!
The principal called her mobile at 6:30pm Friday evening!! Yes, kind of last minute. It is only for the last 5 weeks of this year, but talk about getting some prime experience before next year!!
- I have finished uni for another year!
Three down, one to go. Don't know how I went on this one, I'm assuming I've passed. I'm just glad it is over and I can relax a little more, not feeling any guilt when not doing uni work!
- Printed stacks of posters and made some promo movies for the Carols, had the first main practice on Thursday, numerous other meetings...dyed 21 bags of tube pasta - 33 to go! If anyone has some spare time or some pasta, let us know...please...for the kids area at Carols.
- Church found a venue - at Iramoo Community Centre.
It's going really well and everyone seems to have settled in rather nicely. Starting to do a bunch of community action stuff in the coming months too.
- Youth had a massive night club night.
And it went off! A few of us started setting up early Saturday morning with all the church sound equipment and by mid-afternoon had some ridiculously loud bass pumping music going - with the help of 4 26' subs, and plenty of other speakers hooked up to the sound desk - not happy with just that, we headed down to a friends lighting equipment shop and hired: blacklights, spotlights, and lots of other lights - blacked out the whole venue and it was very, very cool...
So that is what has been, now what is to come:
- Carols by Candlelight is fast approaching!
And the tense emotions are building...some nights we just think it won't go ahead, others we are pumped and can't wait. But I guess we will just have to wait. Get ready to start seeing carols posters/banners/flyers around the place! (If anyone feels like a short letterbox drop in their near-by streets, handing them out at work, yelling at the top of your lungs, let us know, we'll get you the flyers and info! :) )
- Bek's dad heads off to the Solomon Islands in a few weeks!
Helping out over there with the people we are renting off. They are off to help show some communities how to build houses etc I think! From what I know, Nick and the others will build a few while training, and then leave them to build the rest. More than 20 overall - kind of basic kit-houses.
- Christmas!
Well, we'll start thinking about Christmas around the 14th December I reckon - after the carols and everything else!
That'll do for now!

nice to catch up - thanks for blogging! all sounds like good news - we can letterbox drop our street for a start.
x mum
You want me to letter box drop too, seeing as I got invited to the event on Facebook?! lol
We're going to a local Carols night here, as Liv's class are singing there, then the next week we go to THE BIG ONE down by the lake.
I'm glad to hear everything's going well for you both. Let us know how Bek gets on at the school!
