So, a few days after I returned from my beach holiday, my wife had returned to work and I was dropping my eldest at kindergarten for the afternoon.

The clouds were looking threatening, so despite it only being a five minute walk, we jumped in the car and drove up the road.

As we pulled up out the front of the kinder, it started to rain. Not just any rain, but the heavy,thumping, big drops, Australian summer type rain.

I grabbed My eldest by the hand and scooped my youngest into my other arm and we ran as fast as we could into the kinder.

Now my youngest is nearly three years old. He’s a stocky little bloke, just over 15kg. Running with him in my arms was hard work, but we got there.

However, that night I started to feel a bit sore. The back was uncomfortably sore and there was some pain in my left leg.

Now, nearly a week later, I’m in agony. I’ve just returned from a CT scan and am floating around the ceiling after taking some fairly hefty pain killers prescribed by the doctor.

I’m typing this whilst lying on the lounge room floor. The drugs are making my lap top swim in front of me, so my apologies if this makes no sense!

Anyway, I’m hoping to be able to post at least weekly now that I’m back from long service leave. The bike riding has stalled because of the back and I’m not doing any study, so I might have more time than I expected. Sixteen interns have signed up to IN*FORMATION which will keep me busy on the BUV front and things have started well at church - probably even better than if I’d been there!!

So, normal life begins again. Here we go….
