How adorable is Prince Christian of Denmark?
For those who are:

(a) male
(b) living in a vacuum or
(c) too old/young/disinterested

he's the Crown Prince Frederick and Crown Princess Mary's 8 month old son. He's even raising an eyebrow. I think it's such a cheeky picture. Hee!

I am sooooo unfit.

Even though I've lived 1 min from the Cooks River Cycleway for 6 months (and for 13 years before that from 1984 - 1997), I've never ventured onto its well worn tracks. Well, in a fit of inspiration, I decided it was time to get my lazy body away from my computer / ministry / DVDs / books / work and all manner of other daily routines and into the crisp, fresh winter air on bicycle.


Yes, it was fun. Yes, my quads are screaming. Yes, I gave myself a wedgie (who designed bicycle seats anyway???). Yes, I realise it was a tad silly having a shower and washing my hair before I went riding. Still, what's life without a bit of adventure? An adventure-less life, that's what!

Oh, and I met one of my neighbour's teenage kids today, who plays guitar in a rock band. His bro plays bass and his sister sings. We traded mid-week rehearsal stories (we can hear muffled sounds through the walls) and he commented that I did a lot of hymns (I think he was referring to the Easter vocal group item) and he liked it. Heh! I'd had a bit of a suspicion about whether they're Christians, cos the whole family goes out on Sunday mornings, so hopefully I can find out for sure next time we bump into each other.

22: Would you ever consider living abroad?
Depends where, and if I had a job. I'd move to New York in a heartbeat, and would consider London

No, not as in Snow White and the Seven Dwarves (which, incidently, was my favourite Disney story as a 4 year old, because I thought Snow White kinda looked like me (bobbed hair, rosy lips, pale skin) and was Asian, until I knew better).

Got to sleep at 4:30am last night... but at least I got to expunge the build up of creative juices and design some artworks for our move to the church building down the road. Not that I actually have any idea what I'm doing... but it was fun anyway.

Not so fun was having to get up to go to work 3 hours later... so I'm a little bit on the vague side today. Still, I only have one more night to power through (editing a rough cut of a behind the scenes documentary tonight for the first service) and then I can relax a little. Yay!
