Long time no blog

Is it that long since I last visited this site? I hesitate to write much in case I put you to sleep.

Synod, Democrats and Stitches

Since I last wrote, I have been busy attending the 31st NSWACT Synod of the Uniting Church. We met at Canterbury besides the Racecourse but the conference centre is there in case you think we were following things running around in circles. They were four long days. I had to miss the AGM of our Australian Democrats which met at the same time of Synod. Great minds think alike especially when scheduling events. Our local Bennelong-Berowra branch has been meeting to support a good candidate for the by-election in Ryde to be held on the same day as the annual Granny Smith Festival. You'll be pleased to hear that my 5 stitches are now out from the back of my neck and my head did not fall off. It is my daughter's birthday today. She has grown somewhat since she first arrived around 3 a.m. in the same year as the Uniting Church formed, the Australian Democrats came into being, and Elvis Presley died.

The Return of the Blogger

I'm here.

Yes, my last entry was on 7th March 2007.
A lot of last year was taken up with being involved on the NSW Australian Democrat Campaign team for both the NSW election where we lost MLC, Dr Arthur Chesterfield-Evans, and later the Federal election where we lost our four Senators.
I was exhausted from all this commitment and didn't really have anything I wanted to blog about politics on the grounds of the Fifth Amendment.
I am not so involved this year as I was, LD!
My daughter, Joanna, visited me this morning and has made it easier for me to resume my blog.
I hope to remain in touch with you, DV!
