the howie

This morning in roundabout land a colleague and I went to a racist church.

I’m in Canberra as my last post would have informed you.

We had a work Conference today and it was bloody cold, in fact 6 degrees!!!!!

I was wearing shorts.

Tomorrow i’ll be traveling 218km on the cityrail network and then 274km in a car.

I’m starting at home bright and early, training it to Fassifern to run 3 simulation games in a High school then training it form Fassifern to Engadine where I get in a car and travel to Canberra where I will go to sleep. Saturday is a conference all day i’m runing a couple of workshops, then more sleep and Sunday a drive back to Engadine then a train back home.

I’m sure my travel time would be dramatically reduced if i had real eyes and a license.

I get the feeling that everyone in Sydney has never seen dust before.

Tom just blogged about a website where you can upload pics and thank Jesus for stuff.

I thought i too would have a go. At the moment my image is ‘on it’s way to the gallery’

This ‘Jesus, All about Life’ campaign is embarrassing!

Today Jenny shaver hear head.

She raised a heap of cash monies for TEAR which is great!

But the most exciting part is that Tom and I got to dress jenny up and make her look like a butch lesbian.

They always say you shouldn’t send cash through the post.

Today i received $320,000,000,000,000 in the mail.

Since the total crash of their economy the bank of Zimbabwe decided to print the largest bank note in the world. $100 trillion zimbawe dollars.

So Bevis and I hooked ourselves up with some cash the other night and it arrived today.

I’m now a trillionare!

If the Zimbabwe dollar was not suspended this is what my $160,000,000,000,000 would be worth

I’m home after spending the last 4 days in our nations capital.

Yesterday I got to attend a breakfast with Ruddy and Malcom. It was damn early in the morning, Ruddy was only 2 tables away but I didn’t meet him.

All up in the last 2 days I spent 18 hours inside parliament house. I’m stuffed. And wearing a suit is dumb even if i did look shmick.

I’m in Canberra

I spent the whole day in the carport today being all manly and creative.

I’m making some big cut-outs of Millenium Development Goal 4.

Reducing child mortality.

Next Monday and Tuesday I’ll be in Parliament House with 269 other people lobbying politicians to increase out aid giving to 0.7% of our GDP and specifically looking at increasing funds for fighting child mortality as it is one of the MDG’s that is lagging the most.

Anyway I’m making these cut outs for using at an eent on the fonrt lawns of Parliament house.

I think they are coming along nicely, and i’m getting the hand of my new jigsaw.

I’m making 5 of them and so far only 1 is finished.

I’m in Newcastle at the moment.

Check out the modern kitchen in the house i’m in.

I’m up here for work, tomorrow morning i’m heading off to a local park to live in a make shift slum for 25 hours with a bunch of teenagers.

I’m the slum lord so i get to sit back and order them all around.

Today I was up the coast at a year 10 social justice day running 3 workshops.

The day was for the whole of year 10 of wich there are 120 students.

68 students did not turn up to school today from year 10.

Justice is alive and kicking on the coast.

At my first workshop I had 4 young people, then 6 and then 15.

There was about 6 organisations running workshops, and i managed to scorea lift back to the train station with one of them.

Does it seem odd to you that a christian aid and development organization has fleet cars which are big SUV’s????
