We flew back into Sydney at around 9 on new years eve after having a very enjoyable stay in Adelaide with fam+friends for Christmas.
didn’t make any new years resolutions but did remove the ridiculous attempt at list item #20 “grow an orthodox priest style beard”.
included a late submission for movember also: (list #20, #123 done!)
I should have known to add “appease wife by removing orthodox priest style beard”. We’ll I’ve done it now (added it to the list, not removed the beard).
It’s getting there…1 or two more months i reckon!!
Just for something random (and what isn’t at reubenland?)
Micro pigs, if you haven’t heard yet…behold: (and beware the terrible jokes)
I personally would prefer a micro goat…you?
Next winning or losing a city post soon i promise!
Loving this little distraction: Guess the Google
I can’t get over 375 (equal bottom of the high scores). urrgh.

Having recently suffered a bout of man flu with very little sympathy from the spousal unit I can relate! (It’s bad when your wife tells you to man up, right?!)
Thanks to Mark Carpenter for the link…
Not sure if you’ve come across these interactive youtube clips yet…but you gotta have a go at Barack, paper, scissors. (the clip above is just one level – more at the link)
He uses the ‘old hat’ meta strategy quite a lot – beware!

A slightly quirky series coming at ya – ‘great snakes of the bible’. I’ll introduce you to a snake and talk up some of its skills.
This time, perhaps the most well known: the ‘crafty serpent’ in Genesis 3.
Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made.
This snake comes as a surprise in the Genesis narrative, not only because it speaks in words that humans understand (!) but because those words oppose the maker. They are false, and therefore evil words. The serpent is ‘made by God’ yet uses the language God has created against him! You might even say that while God creates with a word, this snake tries to un-create with his word…and very nearly succeeds.
Special skills: Speaking, deceiving and being generally crafty.
Got a request for next time? leave it in the comments!
Very interested to try this …mostly for the experience and novelty. added to the list…
