The egg was seized (see previous post), cracked into a bowl and microwaved (thank you Ian!!!). You should have seen the expression on the kid's face!!!
Warning!!! Baby-talk alert!!!
Things have gotten a lot bigger lately, namely my belly and ankles! My belly now sticks out further than my chest (not easy if you know me). I can't even confidently cut my toe nails and shave my legs - and I am only 22 weeks (5 1/2 months)!!! The irony is that the lady who does my nails for special occasions (or "emergencies" such as this) is pregnant too!!! It is only a matter of time before it will be hilarious watching her get over her bump to get to my toes!!! (If you are reading this "H" you do the best job, but you gotta see the humour!!!).

When is a Weapon not a Weapon?
Q: If you saw a kid hanging around with an egg (not boiled) - would you be suspicious as to what they were up to?
Well, I was. On Friday night at the youth group Christmas Party a kid rocked up with an egg, and couldn't understand why we confiscated it. This kid and his mates were causing a bit of trouble, so we were hesitant to believe that his motives were pure. I will admit it was hard to keep a straight face when explaining that the egg was a "weapon" and hence we could not accept it being at youth group as the property had been egged on previous occasions (it's a Church hall).
What would you do in this situation? I bet you will never guess Ian's response...

She's Baaack!!!
Okay, so it's been a while since I have last blogged. And yes, it's all my fault! So much has happened (mostly building & baby stuff so I won't bore you all to death), but the main thing is that (major spoiler here for The Bill fans) Smithy is safe. (ref: Spoiler blog).
Okay, even more important than Smithy's safety is a very big THANK YOU to dave (and the ever patient Kel) for spring cleaning this blog site for me. Thank you to those of you who have provided feedback on the new format.
Anyway, enough for now....

Rain Rain Go Away...
Yes, that's right! I am (for the moment) over the rain! Gloucester (like many other places on the Mid-North & North Coast) has become a lakeside town overnight! We have gone from praying for rain, to asking for a temporary (ie a few days) of "pause" from the big wet.
The Avon River was like a lake with Bonsai trees yesterday, and waters thankfully have subsided a bit today.

Reading: Angels by Marian Keyes, Listening: Radio, Watching: 10 year old The Bill tapes and seeing what I want to keep and what I want to ditch.

Spoilers
Any TV (particularly The Bill) fans out there will be able to relate to this. Don't you hate it when someone comes up to you knowing that you watch a particular show without checking if you saw the last episode and tells you what happened... and as it happens you didn't see the last episode?
I was thinking about this in a more web-based way. Every Saturday(Sydney time) thebill.com is updated with next week's episodes in the UK (which are 6 months or so ahead of Australia). I can't resist looking them up. As I type this I am waiting for tomorrow to come with great enthusiasm because I find out what happens to one of my favourite characters, Smithy (Sgt Dale Smith, played by Alex Walkinshaw). For me I was in shock when I got the cliff-hanger (as such) from last week's episode rundown.
Sometimes we treat life like this. We hunt out the spoilers (finding out what is going to happen in the future) when we really have no right to (apart from the fact that Jesus (the Messiah) is going to return). We try to play God with things like fortune tellers and wealth-creation schemes and even insurance (although it is wise to be insured). What do we gain from this?
In the smaller picture (using the example of The Bill) you know if it's worth watching the show, setting the VCR if you are out or even having a few fellow fans over to share the experience of the particular story-line.
The bigger picture is that we forget that God is in control and has our best interests at heart. Sometimes this is hard to grasp, especially if you are a Christian and things are not going well for you at this particular time (or even hasn't been for years). My favourite book of the Bible, Ecclesiastes outlines this over and over again by showing us that everything that is not from God, is meaningless (ie doesn't last/fulfill)... even The Bill!
