2 Busy 2 Blog!

That hasn't happened to me before! I  normally get around to writing and reflecting once a week or every ten days or so, but it's all been a bit full on. Funnily enough, the world hasn't paused on its axis due to this omission... We stick a few things up on the Education by Extension Department's Facebook page - or rather, the faithful Jokapeci does - pretty frequently. And just now, I'm going to cheat by simply putting a few pics up here and commenting on them. Nothing profound!

It was very soggy until just a few days ago and so it was wellies to work. 

And my old drawers had a makeover - look. Like them?

We're really going for our new strapline

We  believe in

THEOLOGY

for ALL

for LIFE

Hoping that I can increasingly play a small part in opening up what that means to different groups, so that we really start to move beyond this it's 'only for ministers'  mentality.

Crystal Valerie Tuilomani Kalouniviti paid us a visit. She's my 'yaca' - namesake. (That's been on a previous post; try to keep up). She's giggling, singing, expanding and keeping her Mum and Dad, Lome and Koli, bursting with pride! A joy to see her again.

I can now confirm that postcards from Gothenburg to Suva take 1 month exactly: 21 Sept to 21 October.

My cousin David went. To see the Volvo museum, among other things.

I love getting postcards. They're such simple, cheerful things. And it still floors me that a small piece of cardboard with a pretty picture, some friendly squiggles and an unusual stamp on it can find its way thousands of miles across the globe and not get lost. 

SEND ME POSTCARDS! Well, only if you want to. No pressure.

And Deidre Madden visited her old haunt. Hoorah! 

Deidre was Director of PTCEE for 10 years until November 2013 and I'm of course the inheritor of much of her faithful work and have heard her spoken of many times around the campus.

She was full of ideas and experience, touchingly concerned about and attentive to a course that hadn't been in quite the shape she'd have liked it to be on leaving, and had a good catch up with colleagues on campus and friends at the Anglican Cathedral where she was much immersed.

Here we are, swapping notes and sorting stuff. 

God Bless, Deidre as you return to Australia and take care of yourself.

Praising for all that is past. 

Trusting for all that's to come

And that's the best I can do until next time!
