Bishkek Diary: January 2015
http://bishkekdiary.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Adventures in a post-Soviet world. Saturday, January 24, 2015. Insomnia: a sleep disorder characterised by difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep. Can result in irritability, fatigue, memory and concentration problems, and other physical factors. Like eyes that feel like overcooked marshmallows on a stick. A heart trembling on the edge; sore, clenched jaw; a face that can't remember how to crack a grin. And - please God. And God, I don’t understand. I could do that just as well in Australia, you kn...

Blogerhythm: April 2010
http://blogerhythm.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 25, 2010. Lest we forget those who made sacrifices in wartime for the freedom of Australia. For those who lost their lives. For those who lost limbs, or who were wounded. For those left with emotional scars. For the widows left behind. So that we may live a life of freedom in Australia. Lest we forget the one who made a sacrifice for the freedom of all people. The one who sacrificed his life 2000 years ago on a cross on a hill. So that we may be free from sin, death, and separation from God.

Blogerhythm: August 2011
http://blogerhythm.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 29, 2011. A story about a girl. The sunset found her dancing on the beach before the LORD. Her hair shone gold in the sunlight and her arms stretched out with freedom. Why do you dance? Every day is a dance before my LORD", she replied. "Everything I do is to make Him smile". She watched the hills change from a smoky blue, to orange, and finally a musky pink, as the sun set behind her. Each minute brought new beauties and mysteries to these ancient hills.

Friday, June 18, 2010. Mussels in tomato and chili. Mussels were $5/kg at the market the other day:. Start by frying up one onion and several cloves of garlic in a good slosh of olive oil. Add as much chili as you can handle. Add a chopped up red capsicum and continue to fry. Add a jar of passata. Or 2/3 of a jar should be good. Add a potato, chopped into 1cm cubes. Add some water and a stock cube. When boiling, add 1kg of mussels. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Bishkek Diary: God the All
http://bishkekdiary.blogspot.com/2014/01/god-all.html
Adventures in a post-Soviet world. Saturday, January 25, 2014. Back at Christmas, there was an amusing moment when I unwrapped the brown paper parcels that my mum had sent to London with my aunt. First, I opened one with bright pink underwear (very appropriate to my needs); then, I opened a book of Puritan prayers and devotions, The Valley of Visions. The two items side by side caused some hilarity. Both have proven useful. O God whose will conquers all,. There is no comfort in anything. I can of myself ...

Bishkek Diary: Getting to Know the Neighbours
http://bishkekdiary.blogspot.com/2014/01/getting-to-know-neighbours.html
Adventures in a post-Soviet world. Sunday, January 12, 2014. Getting to Know the Neighbours. Nothing will change probably, except that perhaps we will make more eye contact than normal and more meaningful nods of heads when we pass each other. I got excited for a moment and envisioned myself making cookies for everyone, until I remembered the last time I tried that, in a different block of flats - many suspicious looks and some flat-out refusals. I guess I'll stick to nods. Getting to Know the Neighbours.
