Camping was good. Not much rain, and I slept really well. It is so good to sleep well, all warm and comfy. We had a liturgy at the bottom of the mountain that we had almost climbed the day before - we never made it to the top. Obviously if you can get half way up in two hours it's not Mt Everest. We made damper and cooked it in the fire, then shared it after the service. We had to chip off the burnt bits, but it still tasted fantastic.
Here's a little update on the new years resolutions
Grow vegetables from seed sucessfully - Veges gone to seed. I think by now they've probably self sown.
Learn to play guitar - still have to fix guitar
Not use my credit card at all ever (but I've run out of vegetables, washing powder, dishwashing powder and money) - up buckleys creek
Clean out all the cupboards - done one
Compost - nope
Buy a plant every pay to revegetate my backyard (and get the neighbours to do the same) - no pay days yet
Explore new/semi monasticism/religious community a bit more - nope, although we went camping for two days, does that count?
End world hunger (or maybe just in my street) - nope
Contribute to a solution to homelessness in our area. - strangely, I have had most success at heading towards this little goal I threw in at the end by tagging along with someone who putting forward proposals to council on developing housing organizations to build units on council property.
