Hi, by now you will have noticed that I no longer keep our news on our web site. But that doesn't matter because as far as i know few people bother to read the "news of the latest and greatest" anyway.

So first a correction. Some time ago I inferred that BNIT no longer taught "Renewable energy". I was wrong, installation of PVC and solar electrical systems is still part of courses offered at Bracken Ridge campus. BNIT just lost some of the most experienced, deeply committed and involved teachers in this area.

Bernadette has gained her MIP, and will start with a private firm in Brisbane as a Patent Attorney in a few weeks. She is really looking forward to the work, having been in preparaton for the last four years. We went to Baguette restaurant to celebrate her good fortune, and enjoyed the chef's Wednesday night special - Cassoulet, sausage, duck. pork, and white beans. Yum.
Our pond is full, a few weeks and we will add fish. Our tank is over half full, no watering needed this week.

Poem

Here am I,
the common May fly.
I just wanted to mate,
and die, I don't
know why?
