A SIMPLE CARPENTER

1. He was a simple carpenter, an ordinary bloke;
though his hands were rough, his heart was good.
He was a simple carpenter, and others made their jokes, but he kept his peace, he worked the wood.

But Joseph didn't know, Joseph didn't know, Joseph didn't know
how she came by the child.

2. He was a simple carpenter, she was a gentle girl - as he drove the nails, she watched his hands.
He was a simple carpenter, she was the gentle girl he would marry soon - they made their plans.

3. He was a simple carpenter who listened to his dreams, though his doubts were strong, he still believed.
He was a simple carpenter who listened to his dreams, so he wed his girl, he loved her child.

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.
