And the answer is . . .

We headed to Thornleigh church this sabbath, just 4 minutes down the road. At the end of the service we were approached by a young lady who Scott had breifley met in Warburton, a friend of he ex-workmate Adele.
We ent to their place for lunch - and as it turned out, for tea also. Quite a hilareious family and freinds. The churhc has a bit of an orcharestra of young people who play every month so we'll ahve to whip out our digital instraments and join them some time.

On sunday we went walkies across the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It wasn't as busy as expeccted. After registering online we were given a time slot to do the crossing so I guess that evened everybody out.
We caught the train in to Milson's Point and walked over the bridge (around 5:30pm) form there. We then wondered aroundthe Rocks and Squareish Lock. All the streets had been blocked off in the area to cars. It felt a bit like Disneyland - having of no cars and plenty of people walking around with music playing in the streets. Except ther were no rides, or $100 entrance fee, and no traveling 12 hours on a plane, and no mice and . . . ok not all that similar.

It was a bit of fun. We can tell our grandkids we walked over the bridge on its 75th anniversary and they will say - "is that when cars used to drive over the bridge still?"




On the train trip home Scott made his first bid on eBay via mobile phone. The auction was ending at the time we were still on the train and he wanted to get the last bid in to try and get the best price.
We won the auction and it will be delivered via trailor on Sunday (we'll put some pickies up for you in the next post as to what it is.) Scott has already invented a 'cricket' version of the game for it. As many of you will know Scott had a constently 'improving' cricket game that could be played on a pool table.



Rachel got the job!
As of Thursday afternoon, I am officially employed again (a great feeling!) I got the job of Training Manager at MYOB OnDemand. They are the Australian distributors of the accounting software (ERP & CRM) called NetSuite. The role mainly involves providing classroom and site training to new and existing clients and updating training materials. They are in the city, opposite Wynyard station, so it will only take about 30-40 mins on the train.

I start on Wednesday, March 28, so I've still got a few days off. I'm really looking forward to it, as the role sounds just right. I might have to travel interstate a bit, so I'll try to visit if I can.

So my work journey starts again. Will be very interesting to see what happens and where I end up...

And so it seems our shift is now compleated and we have been looked after to every dotting of the i. God is great!
