Lets see if I can grow something… I used to like gardening when I was younger. So can’t be bothered putting in any effort while in a rental though.
Chives, Parsley, Basil, Mint.
Just the basics.

“At the same time you love it but you also hate it with all your guts” (Thanks Les…)
This is exactly how I feel, or at least in the past have felt about Gush. It intrigues me to work out if this is where I need to again pour some effort or if I should wait for somewhere else to pour that expense. It is an expense. It is time, heart, pain and mental energy. It is well and truly worth it.
Do we get a say in what our ministry is? (I don’t like the term ministry by the way, and I’m not even sure of the concept of it as a stand-alone but just run with it). Or do we just somehow arrive there?
I also reckon marriage is a ministry by this definition. Not in a bad way – of hating it’s guts, ha. It’s wonderful, but at the same time it’s a lot of giving up of self and that’s marvelously difficult at times. Today Geoff made me breakfast in bed and made me lunch (err.. when I was in bed again being lazy/sleepy). It was very good.
About a month ago I tried posting this music video (or the song rather) but it was, unbeknown to me a dodgy one and so it got pulled from You-tube. Here’s the real deal. I really love this song, I think it’s very telling. Christians should start listening to more music than they find in Koorong (Their Christian bookshop). Yes the rare moment there can be good – thanks to those brutally honest guts like Derek Webb, (Who’s music has been booted out of such stores before), but there is a world waiting to be discovered where God exists in more beautiful and mysterious ways. As for being subtle, this song is not particularly so but could be taken a number of ways, there is something about it that rings clear with honesty.
I got both these pictures for my birthday, one via Etsy (link to come for Monsieur Rabbit) and one is a poster that I found on my shopping expedition with my Mum and sister to to city. I have finally got both framed, although not sure if the lighter frame works so well with the nest -bought the frames at different times. I’m pretty much head over heels for the rabbit. (Sorry about the photos, late afternoon inside is not such great light and the colours aren’t quite accurate – and extra sorry for what looks like pee-water in the vase of natives, I should really do something about that).
Geoff sent me the link to this xkcd cartoon and said he recognised me 😛
