ON THAT FINAL NIGHT

1. On that final night
when Jesus was betrayed
they were gathered with him,
twelve disciples with him
— one would soon betray him.

2. On that final night
a room had been prepared.
There they ate together,
and they drank together.
— all but one together.

This is my body.
Take it and eat it

Back from a Break 

During September, Dorothy and I travelled
to Norway and the UK.

After long flights
- Adelaide to Melbourne,
Melb to Dubai (14 hrs),
Dubai to Oslo (7 hrs) -
we did Norway in a nutshell
from Oslo to Bergen, then
the Hurtigruten Cruise 
up the west coast of Norway
and back again.
Then an 8 day Trafalgar tour
and 4 days in London,
before taking the direct flight
(16 3/4 hrs)
from Heathrow to Perth.
We're a bit tired (!) but we'll still be a part
of the LWA convention and the 
General Convention .

See some of you there.
