Things I've learnt so far...

1. The Salvos acutually do more throughout the Yarra Ranges than I was aware. Take for example a community barbecue held each week in Milgrove. It's run by a local church, but the Salvos are involved in the funding through our community outreach worker!

2. Paying $25 to get someone to mow the lawns at the quarters isn't actually as bad as it seems - especially since it's about the size of the MCG (well, it felt like it when I mowed it).

3. Mowing the lawn and seeing a pile of feathers flying out of the mower is another reason to pay $25...

4. New carpet doesn't smell anything like old carpet.

5. I should have been an electician...$50 per hour is much more than I get!

6. The power goes off here regularly.

7. God will be with me. Again today, Pam reminded me of this through her sermon on Moses and the burning bush (Exodus 3:12). There is a recurring theme coming through, and I think I am starting to get it!

GROSS!! I think $25 is a small price to pay in saving our wildlife, Graeme!
