I'm sitting here on my cow-skin rug, Christmas lights still lingering and the moon is full, highlighting the still river. We've just had a brilliant night at one of my favourite places in Perth - UWA outdoor cinema! The Pines are amazing, though they've always reminded me of the EWOK haven in Star Wars. I'd say magic too, but only God should be accredited for concocting such natural intimacy in a place like that.
Thanks to my Oma & Opa, we traded their lemons from the farm for free fish and chips (praise the Lord for Sweet Lips), wine and cheeses, chocolate and great company - friends old and new. Seven of us finished the night off with a meander through the gorgeous university gardens with big steel boule balls in hand playing bocce by lamp light and trying not to kill ducks, despite the ducks attempts to steel our 'Jack'.
So, the last couple days I've been going through photos and reflecting on the most excellent times we've had pre-Christmas, camping down south and then the NYE eve soirée... does life get richer than this?

Just after I'd started to write this post late tonight, I heard on MSN about our much loved Serg's Mother - Jo, and her passing on to meet Jesus after a painful battle with cancer. I wish I'd got too meet her and thank her for making the world more amazing with her life and contribution, though I'm glad she's now peacefully resting - no more pain. It brought perspective to my recent "good times" and how much more of life we need to cherish. Celebrating lives of others especially and not so much our own. How suddenly it can pass. See, I can try to take heaps of photos to reflect the amazingly blessed life we live, but it's the life we leave and share that really makes the difference… people, family, friends, random strangers. It sounds like Mumma Jo knew this and all that knew her are richer for it. Thank you Lord for sharing this amazing, courageous, loving woman with the World.
Sergy: We are all with you and praying for you and the family despite geography. We're sending massive air hugs from here... can you feel em??... Catch em! Our deepest sympathy and love to ya nigga! ERR
