In the meanitme, enjoy the index page as it is in March 2007:
On New Years Eve in 2006 we were driving into the valley, coming home and saw this storm cloud developing. Much as we wanted rain, we didn't want this particular storm to come our way! Fortunately for us it didn't, but it dropped nearly two feet of hail onto the southern suburbs of Tuggeranong! Driving on the Monaro Highway a couple of days later, we saw some of the dirt and debris that had closed it that day too.
Our exciting news from October 2006 is the new photovoltaic panels that are now on the roof!
They were installed by Phil May (www.solartec.com.au) and have been generating more electricity than we use until the very cloudy day today. Even in the rain yesterday they generated as much electricity as we used.
This PC User Group site is a mixture of bits and pieces from Linda Anchell.
Welcome!
Web pages which I manage for my own parish, the group of Women in Black who stand in vigil every Friday and the Canberra Refugee Action Committee:
http://www.stphilipsoconnor.org.au/
http://www.refugeeaction.org/index.html
http://www.womeninblackcanberra.org.au
That site is forwarded from this present site, so the index page for Women in Black comes from
http://www.tip.net.au/~lindafrd/WinB/WinB.html
unlike this personal site, these three are changed regularly.
and the ANU Chaplaincy

The picture of the White Raven came from Michael
in Canada. There is the albino gene in the raven flock in Urila Valley and during 1998 I saw one reasonably often. I last saw it flying erratically and probably growing old and feeble. I have not seen another one since then. To me it is a symbol of ambiguity and paradox. A black crow that is white! To see it meant looking again. I did a real double take. A white cockatoo with a crows beak??? It took a few sightings to be sure of what I was seeing.

And then there is:
Where I live: "homestead advertising" page. It's set up for visiting cousins, but the photos of the skinks and the house are worth sharing with a wider audience.
Multiple Sclerosis pages Mostly written during the late 1990's, and with an interest in the influence of neurotransmitters in MS. This is especially those neurotransmitters of the sympathetic system. I heard talk at an MS conference in 2006 about neuro psycho immunology. This is an area now being heard about more that I was finding bits about in those early years. So what I am writing isn't "ten years out of date". (I don't claim to be ahead of my time! Just interested then in a quirky area which is now developing.)
After Easter in 2006, I cleaned up The Exultet; manuscript. This is a plainsong chant that I sing on Easter morning at the Lighting of the Fire sunrise service at St Philip's.
My old Ozemail site is now here. Still with a lot of the coding from the days I used Netscape to compose pages. I'm working at fixing the code… This site was mainly about Multiple Sclerosis.
please let me know of any queries or frustrations.
