Christ is Risen!




Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. So she ran, and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him." Peter then came out with the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb. They both ran, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first; and stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; he saw the linen cloths lying, and the napkin, which had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths but rolled up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; or as yet they did not know the scripture, that he must rise from the dead.


Christ is Risen!! Alleluia!!

Enemy Brothers (and sister!)

Yesterday I finished the really interesting book Enemy Brothers, though not without a few 'complications'.
Its about this young RAF officer in WWII who's brother was kidnapped by a German woman about 9 previous of the start of the book. The brother, Tony, who was around 2 years old at the time, was taken to Germany and raised in the German fashion and when old enough attended rallies etc in support of Nazi Germany eventually becoming one off the Hitler Youth. Anyhow, long story short, Tony, growing up being called Max gets captured by the English and meets up with Dym (The RAF guy) though Tony believes himself to be of  pure German heritage. Dym then, after much careful thinking and several clues discovers that Max (a.k.a. Tony) is his younger long lost brother Tony. Tony is then taken into Dyms custody and lives at Dyms childhood home with many of Dyms relations and also several borders living there, Dym visits every few weeks when on leave. Tony is disgusted at being held a prisoner by the "Mad English" and has the grueling task of waiting at lest till the end of the war till he can to return to Germany and Dym has the grueling task of persuading Max that he is not Max Eckermann but really Tony Ingleford.


I was a little over halfway through till Vellvin thinks "oh that looks like a cool book lets read it" and thus for 2-3 days every now and then it would be 'stolen' from me until I recovered it from the 'theif' and then a argument would begin on who was rightful to have the book. Then one of us would get it then it would be stolen......etc.  Finally I finished it and  randomly picked a new book of the shelf last night "The Reb and the Redcoats" and coincidentally it is by the same author as Enemy Brothers!!
The comforting thought is that Vellvin has already read it!!!!

I hate Autumn (fall)  (Don't think I'm talking about my sister Autumn cause I'm not) Autumn means it gets colder, it gets wetter, it gets windier, it- I'm sure I could think of many other reasons but I cant be bothered.
What ever, I'd rather just have Summer and Spring all year round!!!
You people up in the North are probably quite happy with your Spring. Grrrrrr!!!
Anyway gotta stop complaining and go do schoolwork...... while having Autumn wind howling outside!!!

Rambo: First Blood

Starting round 1:30 A.M., Me, Kynan, Autumn, and Braedon watched First Blood. And it was GREAT!!!
This guy defeats 6 police armed with guns by simply using just a gun, a knife and sheer cunning and strength!!


Who is Rambo? Well, he is one of an elite group that fought in Vietnam during the Vietnam War. 7 years after the U.S. pulled out of Vietnam John Rambo is searching for his former comrade in arms only to find that he died of cancer and that he is now the last of his unit.
Later, laden with grief Rambo walks through the small town of Hope and is picked up by the local sheriff, mistaken for a drifter.At the police station he is mistreated by the men there and eventually breaks out, defeating all the officers at the station using no weapons. He is then pursued in the forest where a skirmish with 6 cops that he defeats using booby traps and his guerrilla warfare experience causes 200 of the National Guard to be called out and thus begins an epic fight for survival.


After finishing the movie at 3:00 AM (very late) I then sleep walked off to bed while Kynan and Braedon (if your wondering they are night owls and love staying up till crazy hours) had this sudden thought: Why not watch another movie!?!?!?  They then started some movie called  Fight Club . And I estimate that my two older brothers didn't make it to bed till 6:00 A.M.!!!

The below photos were taken when we went to Mozambique last Saturday. From left to right: Braedon, Kynan, and Me on top of the roglom zwagzotee (a famous African building that is 80 metres high) with African gwandoo trees in the background.

No, just kidding that's Braedon, Kynan and Me on the topmost part of our roof with gumtree in the background last Saturday when we were cleaning out the gutters.
In fact it was the first time I've been on the roof, but Kynan and Braedon have done it countless times. Kynan and Braedon were simply cleaning out the gutters when I was asked to get something from the garage for them and the next minute I was asked to help "Up top".
Somehow no one managed to tell Mum that three of here sons were round about 8 metres  in the sky pulling leaves, branches, and other such stuff off the roof.

Then Vellvin then came outside and Kynan shouted down to here to please get the camera joking it would make a good Facebook profile for his facebook page. Vellvin then ran inside and got the camera. Mum still didn't know we were up there using our initiative tiding up the rooftops. Vellvin then took a few pictures of us on top of the roof.

Then we come down after finishing the gutters and tell Mum where we've been for the last hour at which she is somewhat surprised and annoyed that she was in ignorance that we were up on the roof and her fear heightens when Kynan tells here cheerfully that 20 people die every year from falling of rooftops in Australia.




Possing: "We rock!!".
Liking the view.
"We rock some more!!!"

It was awesome at the movies, not to mention it was in 3-D so when Scrooge  flies over rooftops and such with the first ghost the the snow appeared to be moving towards you and you half believe your going to get a snowball in your face!!!!!
So take a wild guess what movie we'll be watching tonight with dinner?

Happy Birthday........ To MEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy birthday to me!!
Happy birthday to me!!
Happy birthday dear Saxon,
Happy birthday to me!!

Today is my 111th birthday!!! just kidding, 14th. still only 97 years till I will be 111.

I'm now gonna have to stop this post as Dad is telling me to go to bed. But I will do a post soon on what happened today. We've just finished the final episode of the BBC Robin Hood for the first time.
The ending was quite sad: Robin dies, Gisborne dies, Gisborne  may have been a evil man at many points in his life but he died a hero. And Robin, Gisborne and Archer fought as Brothers in Arms.
So the Sheriff is dead, Isabella is dead and Robins gang are going to continue to fight for England!!!!

As Robins Gang would say: "For England!!! We are Robin Hood"!!!

Prince of Persia.

Last night I watched Prince of Persia with Mum and some of my siblings. And it was AWESOME!!! (if slightly mind-boggling).
The main character, who's name is Dastan, is VERY athletic and fit to do all the flips, jumps, leaps and other cool stuff he does.
Me and Vellvin especially liked the guy (cant remember the name) who is the leader/boss of the people in The Valley of Slaves. He was sooo funny, and you find out he doesn't lead a band of cutthroats but just lives in the Valley of Slaves to avoid that dreaded thing called TAXES.

One of the best scenes is where Dastan is scaling a wall with his small band of men and climbs up using just a poll, crossbows and arrows.



All in all it was a really good movie.
