Well need to catch up my photos and Days - Monday the twelfth was quite a good day. Bit of a meeting working out all outstanding projects and now have the task of working out resources - nice problem though.
The lass in this picture is the beautiful Rachel Jane -she is the mother of the angels from yesterday. A lovelier person in life you could not wish to meet. Mind you as my God Daughter she has been by nemesis, my friend from the day she drew breath - she would also kill me if I told you how long ago.
Love what a word and how diverse is the meaning. I hereby officially declare myself a lover. I love life, I love people, I love the world, I love my friends, my family, my extended family.
What is worse I do not understand how love can cause so much pain. The love of a person be it your spouse, your children, your neighbour where and how do we get it so wrong.
To talk about ones life partner and love and yet in so many cases it just withers on the vine and dies. The unadulterated innocent trusting love that appears in children is so perfect and yet we contaminate and infect it.
It seems however, we need it, it is the very essence of our presence on this planet.Or is that where the problem starts, we need do not simply accept it, be it. As we hit the pot holes of life why do we do it, screw it up - is it a lack of respect for our fellow man, a fear of communicating honestly, of being an equal - how do we choose our life partners and stay happy. What makes us fall out of love and create this anxiety and pain.
Being a logical man "what's love got to do with it" - maybe it is just a second hand emotion after all?
Well a mixed bag today - still finishing remaking beds at my place. Baby sat my son's cat before Xmas and there was one bedroom he could get into because he just opened the sliding door with his foot. For a short haired critter leaves a lot of fur. Off to lunch with a long time friend - she might need a lung transplant and agonizing over whether to do it or not. It was a lovely lunch and she is a really good friend. Home in anticipation of my God Daughter and her kids have not seen them for months. It is kind of bitter sweet there Granny is off to hospital for a heart check - it appears she has a leaking valve. It will be lovely to see my surrogate Grand Children though.
The photo is taken in the Tivoli Hotel (no I do not live there - just because I appear in the same pub in Charlie's Day 8). The man in the Photo is a man by the name of Don Rice (read about him here). As you will see Don has excelled at the top of the game of Baseball in South Australia and Australia. Well I first met Don when I became the President of the East Torrens Payneham Baseball Club (The Redsox) - let me tell you I was really the first non-baseball background President of this Club and it made for an interesting life as I grew in the Games Administration. Any way Don has been battling the dreaded Cancer since he was in his early fifties and we have become the best of Friends over the last twenty years or so.
He rang me as we had not caught up for a while to just have a beer. Well the Cancer is back and Don is headed for more Chemo soon. I know two things - the first Don's determination will give this next bout a hell of a shake again, and second his Mates will be standing by him every step of the way.
Don love you mate so lets get out their and give this sucker nuthin'
Spent the Day in the office - the guy in the picture is Dean Allan from My Bookkeeping Services, and yeah he does my bookkeeping. Thursdays is debt adjustment day around our place - yep the Day we go into more debt. Honestly though if you live in Adelaide and looking for a guy to help out he is your man - you will find him here at www.mybookkeepingservices.com.au - and that was Day 8
Well the other day I was driving down a road near a new sub-division about 7Kms (5miles) from the centre of Adelaide. Granted this used to be an experimental farm run by the CSIRO but that has not been for a number of years - low and behold I spied in the field behind my photo a "critter" - I stopped looked and sure enough it was a fox.
Any way I had need to be passing by again on Day 7 with Camera in hand - please view the slideshow along side for the result
