too many late nights

Last night we went to visit our pastor and his wife at their home in
Gordon's Bay. She made the most interesting dish, and a platter of
rocket, coriander, fresh nuts and baby tomatoes, was a well baked, round
bread, with its innards scattered over the salad and sprinkled with
Camembert cheese and inside the bread was a thick spicy herb soup, which
we kept topping up from the center pot of soup and then we ate the
"bowls" with plum and fig jam with coffee. I want to get that little
battery operated frothie machine - so simple, just use full cream milk!
Shannon never slept yesterday so she came with and Millah and Jethro
spent the evening at my sisters. Well we had a few interesting
conversations about the nature of an effective church while we re-tuned
in his public satellite to watch some GodTv.
We fetched Jethro because he still wakes up in the night and with my
sisters husband "day" off from managing the restaurant we didn't want
their sleep disturbed, so I shared a coffee with my sister and her hubby
at midnight before carrying Jethro to my house (they now live one house
away! very cool!).
Well, now I must quickly install my manager's LG flatron, web cam and
Logitech chord less desktop at his home before immersing myself into
comparing and analyzing Farm management software. I think I should
dismantle these 2 old laptops here to see what's wrong with them. It's
an Hp Omnibook6000 and an old IBM thinkpad, eish I don't even think it's
worth the time, but I'll at least get the data off of the IBM Thinkpad!
I hope my brother in law uses Fnb connect support to figure out why his
Mecer usb AUS18CX modem isn't making an ADSL connection today.
I'll share some of the thoughts we enjoyed discussing with our pastor
just now...now its back to checking last nights ntbackup and backup exec
8.5 (old, I know!) reports and the mail servers logs before I
communicate that we'll not be taking DDI on our ISDN upgrade of our main
telephone line in preparation of our Asterisk Pabx installation....

Yesterday my beautiful daughter drew the must stunning picture of a single tree growing on a green field. The tree was bearing hearts because it was the "fruit of love" - very creative idea of her own. I'll scan it in tomorrow when she comes to visit me at work (if I can twist our driving pool/club!)...
