Autobiography Chapter 89
Noahide Videos Bible
Chapter Eighty-Nine
Written Wednesday 4th of July 6181 SC / 4th of July 2018 CE. Here we go. A few months have passed, and time for an update. I visited Mt Stromlo near Weston Creek with Mum and Brigid a while back. We had a meal at the café there, and I enjoyed the scenery. It overlooks the vast western area of Canberra, and the views are truly magnificent. I recall thinking ideas like I did not really need to travel to too many places in the world, because the local area already sufficed for that with enough going on. I love being up at Mt Stromlo and Telstra Tower and the Arboretum in Canberra – the spiritual animistic feel of the places is wonderful to me. Adrian Chan retired from his work in Mental Health. I might see him this Christmas possibly, as he has hinted I might get a visit from a Chinese Santa. Ian Pennel is his replacement, who is a little younger than me. He’s a kiwi, but a really nice guy, and does his job professionally. I haven’t been going to the drop in centre as much though now since Adrian left, as the Internet is back on at home now, as we got a good deal with mum’s Telstra service – in fact, probably paying now less with the new deal – so I am not going to group as much anymore. Mostly content with home life in reality. Rob Preston and Chris White dropped around the other night, on Saturday the 30th of June, and Greg, Christie and James had arrived for a holiday that afternoon. Greg and James will be staying about 2 weeks, but Christie only about a week. We had a ‘Catan’ night were we played Catan. Chris ended up winning, and it was a great fellowship evening. We all got along pretty well. I gave Greg the two Spellsinger books, books 7 and 8 in the saga, which he had never read, the other day, from him to take back to Perth with him. He has already started reading one of them. Greg, Mum, Christie and James went down to Jacinta’s in Cooma the other day, and earlier this evening Greg and James went to the movies. I think they saw a Jurassic World movie, or that was the plan. They asked me if I wanted to come along, but I don’t like going out that much anymore. I’m 45 now, quite settled, and the body is past its prime, and I don’t like to push it as much as I did in former years. Mostly just like relaxing at home, doing my thing with the Internet and music and TV, and not worrying about too much else anymore. I think I mostly operate in retirement mode these days, and am not looking for too many more social encounters and trips. An occasional thing, but I feel it in my bones these days, and don’t’ really want to get out and about like I used to. Just a rare trip. Still single, no love life, and that doesn’t appear to be changing. Met a girl online, who is from Cebu in the Philippines, and we had a chat about religion. She was interesting. I’m still talking with Emma Michel from Perth on Pinterest. At this stage I no longer really plan on going back to Perth anymore, as I hate flying in planes, but if and when mum finally passes the possibility of moving in with Greg in Forrestfield in Perth would be considered, but I would only get there by train taking my belongings with me that way. I just can’t handle the turbulence in plains – like Logan Wolverine in the second Wolverine movie, I grab the sides of the seat when in planes and am very nervous. Not sure if human beings are really designed to fly – something tells me I just shouldn’t be up there. My niece Georgia is expecting soon. We still don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl, and they aren’t saying anything official as of yet. My collection of things continues to grow – the current collection is starting to get quite big again. I have a large supply of Marvel and DC movies, and there are heaps of magazines to look at also at the moment. I’m 45 years old, mostly settled in life, and not much is changing anymore. It will one day down the road, but I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it. For now more of the same seems to be on my plate. Justin Angold visited again for a a few times, but has stopped visiting again. I would imagine, though, that somewhere down the track he will possibly start visiting again, maybe for a period. That might be how it works with Justin – don’t really know. My niece Madalene Bridges dropped around to visit mum the other day. She looked well. She lives with her mother Brigid but is at her cousins a lot apparently. Greg, Christie and James are in good health and spirits. Nothing seems to have changed terribly much in their lives. Mum is as well as normal. Haven’t seen Jacinta in a bit, but there is no news contrary to her faring as well as usual. In the world today things are going pretty much according to regular ways. Donald Trump is still President, and Malcolm Turnbull is still Prime Minister of Australia. England defeated Australia 5 nil in the recent one day series in England at Cricket, so times are good for my team. The bulldogs finally won a game on the weekend, so I can have a minor celebration. There odds of making the finals these years are extremely slim – they would need to win practically every remaining game. Maybe next year. We’ll see how it goes. Mostly life as usual, and nothing major planned. Steady work on an occasional video for my Noahide Videos Bible, and maybe some writing again soon enough. Did a lot of work for the first 5 months of the year, so mostly resting for the remainder of it. Anyway, life is good. Cheers.
