I saw this today at Klemzig Obahn stop, it was hard to read all that was on it as the weather has faded all the notes. It really warmed my heart, I found it very touching!
I’d like to do a variation of this and make a prayer tree and people can write their prayers and tie them to the tree.
Had a nice time in Adelaide’s city centre today. I haven’t been to the CBD for ages. It was nice to have the time to wander, listen to buskers and watch a magician too.
I bought this flute book from Allens Music-

A collection of popular movie songs arranged to be played by either full band or by individual soloists with optional accompaniment CD.

Some of these books were at Allens Music too. It looks like an interesting format and idea having the CD and the book. I may buy some of these books from either Amazon or Allens.
Spotlight is still having its sale so I got some more lovely glass beads at reduced prices!
Met up with Adelaide Hackers group at Cibo for food and chat. A lot of the talk I can’t follow as it’s very advanced hardware focused but it was good to see everyone again as we hadn’t had a get together since early last year. I did have a good chat with David Rowe about writing lesson plans for teachers using the XO in classrooms so I may be able to contribute some ideas and lessons I’ve used with the students I tutor (using my xo) as well as from my years of teaching computing and working for Teen Challenge. David’s part of the Seaton OLPC group who are working on a roll out of XO’s in Timor Leste.
My friend Sharon and I decided to ‘have a go’ at cooking a hangi. Sharon prepared the food to go in the hangi and made extra yummies to go with it – fry bread, stuffing and steamed pudding. We had some great helpers too, Sharon’s son Jared and our friends Warren and Rangi.
The food turned out very well, everyone was full and we had a great time ‘praying in’ the new year!
As I do most years I’ve been busily making Christmas presents. I’m loving making these bead necklaces and earrings and I think they’re better than ones I’ve made previously. I’m getting better at putting colours together. It’s therapeutic too, sorting the beads and threading them, creating something beautiful!
Another idea I came up with is a cd for kids with music, paper toys and audio stories.
The music is freely downloadable at Family Worship Resources.
Paper toys at The Toymaker
The stories I got from Project Gutenberg and I’ve recorded myself reading them and put in a musical backing track too.
Fun!!!
Guy Sebastian at Elder Park 4 Dec 2009 for Sunrise. Same as above I’ve left this video on the side to maintain the quality. Hope you like it 🙂
Although this video is at an angle I’ve uploaded it like this because it looses quality in the conversion and rotation. The picture isn’t great anyway it’s more the song which I wanted to capture!
What I didn’t think of doing was recording it from the tv before I went to Elder Park. Anyway enjoy 🙂
