My paintings…

Well, I asked Rob the other day to put photos of the paintings that I have done in the last month or so on the website, and lo and behold, it is done already! He is a machine! I know that my family and Claire will want to see them, if noone else. One of the paintings is of the 12 apostles in Victoria, and Rob’s mother informed me last night that one of them has collapsed! So now there are only 7 (ironically there were only ever 8 in the first place!!) So I guess my painting will have new significance.

Anyway, other than painting and searching for jobs, life is pretty normal. We have both applied for jobs in the area of Sheffied but now we must just wait to hear back to see if we get interviews. The waiting is annoying! If anyone who reads this thinks of it occasionally, could you offer up a little prayer for us??…

I would also like to use this opportunity to thank all the people who have posted entries on our guestbook. The response has been awesome! I really have been overwhelmed. It is so nice to just read a few lines and know that people have taken the time to keep in touch. Anyway, I have rambled for long enough. Take care all who read this, and know that I think of and pray for lots of you!

By the way, I really like the new format of our website!

In search of sunnier climes!

Well, as you have already found from Rob it was not exactly ideal weather in Australia. However, since there is a terrible drought we shan’t complain, shall we Rob?

We had a great if rushed time in Australia, wish we had more time to see people but it was a bit of a whirlwind. It was good to finally visit the Sydney Opera house for the first time in my life! We even got to see the Sydney Symphony and the Sydney Ballet rehearsing. Awesome!

Spain was quite idyllic, weather started out a bit overcast but fined up and we had a great time. We visited a couple of villages up in the mountains as well as had a trip to Gibraltar which is a very bizarre place! The flamenco evening at the resort was also lots of fun. I think I put on heaps of weight from all the amazing food.

Now we are trying to get back to reality here in Britain. I have been looking to see whether there are many dental technician jobs here in England and the answer seems to be, not really. It’s early days, though, and I am not seriously looking since I don’t have a visa to work yet. The jobs that are advertised would take us further north and we are reluctant to make such a big move. We’ll just have to wait on the Lord and see where He leads!

Well, that’s about it for now. We will keep you posted on our next change of plans!
