Awww thanks mum

Mum you're a sponsor! And i didn't even ask.
A size smaller and a little stiff at first but a much more supportive fit.

I arrived at peter bundy cycles at 7am... He's always there at crazy hours building new frames or lovingly restoring some 20 year old heap that a customer has found on the side of the road..

We got to talking, and I got late for work, hand over the credit card, sign away then rush off to be pleasantly surprised at the discount later.

tell him he's dreamin

I would really love to have a transportational project.

I don't have much cash. So it is not going to be easy.

But by the inspiration of Wheeler Dealers and "A (insert transport here) is born" discovery channel series - here's my wish list of restoration.

1. Damo's brumby.

In an effort to learn something, perhaps i should start by helping out with someone elses restoration project. Damo is restoring a Suby brumby like this one.

2. 2Wheels

TRX 850 or other non-harley vtwin.

3. Toyota MR2

without the bling stuck on this one..

hey, i'm allowed to dream.. and my 7yo. wants to help.

family car - don't get comfortable in the garage, you're not stayin there for long, and may never see the inside again.

lil' cup o happiness

Every morning i need a little something to get me going.

I unfortunately have a substance addiction - pictured here.

But it's my little cup of happiness in the morning.

But it doesn't do much beyond getting things moving.

It doesn't change the reality of the day, or my attitude to facing it.

So i need something deeper each day. Today i was blessed to be reading about my 'portion' in ps119:57, and it turned me to psalm 16.

My portion and my cup aren't so small. The psalmist is taking refuge and knows that apart from the Lord they have no good thing. And they're delighted to be around the saints.

I ought to recognise the Lord as 'always before me' And that my inheritance is delightful.

My inheritance is only partial at the moment, because i'm not dead yet! but A death has already taken place to secure my inheritance. And i know the path ahead.

Instead of increasing sorrow of the people who run after other gods, whose sacrifices and name are useless, the Lord assigns me a portion. I don't need to chase it. All i need have before me is the Lord, and he sorts out the rest.

I pray for you to have a glad heart and a rejoicing tongue this day too with more than just a little cup of happiness.

Creation song.

This is Ellies song. - she wanted something on creation, and mumford and sons are the fav.. band at the moment.

Same meter as 'the cave' by mumford and sons, and a whole bunch of other bands.

The sun comes up to warm each brand new day

The green earth and the blue sky fill with praise

All creatures great and small

depend on you for life each day.

Chorus 1

So I... will praise your name

Your power is clearly seen

Your work in earth and heaven

declare your glory now.

Chorus 2

So I will sing out loud

Your love is all around

Your Son the Risen Lord

Declares Your glory now

The wonders of creation fill my mind

You made me and i'm wonderfully made

Each part of me is crafted by

your wise and loving hand.

The sweet air fills the night sky all around

The stars are bright and too many to count

My last thoughts will be praise

And thanks for Your gifts new each day
