Beyond Busy

As you might infer from the lack of posts and Twitter updates over the last few days I’ve been very busy (actually you could possibly infer the opposite as well). After a frantic second half of last week at work with lots of babies born and pre-dawn hospital visits, we then had Owen’s birthday on Friday, which spilled over into Saturday. Also on Friday I finally picked up our car, which has been in the smash repair shop for 2 months after the accident in early April.

After soccer on Saturday morning we went with friends to see Shrek the Third, which was enjoyable, though perhaps not quite as good as the first two. In the afternoon on Saturday I went to pick up my new phone (which I’ll post about later) and then had our church “World Changers” missions dinner. Sunday morning started early as I was playing guitar in both services. One minute before I left home I managed to cut my left middle finger on something and hence had to play with a bandaid on. Although my lead work was a bit clumsy in places overall it wasn’t too bad and the band as a whole really fired well and we had great services with a top guest speaker Mark Wilson.

Much of the rest of the weekend was spent trying to work out how to use my new phone and installing software on it. Also the realisation has begun to hit that it is less than 4 weeks now until we head off on our big trip and we have an awful lot to do between now and then, both in terms of trip preparation and other things we have on. Also work looks like it’s going to be a very busy month as I am looking after a lot of pregnant patients for another of the doctors who is off on holidays, in addition to my own patients of whom a lot are due this month. So I really need to start getting well organised now - time to start making some lists to avoid forgetting things I have to do. I’ve already started to make good use of the Tasks function on my new phone.

And hopefully amidst all this I’ll still find the time to do blog and twitter posts… watch this space…

WOTD - Lowbacca

Lowbacca - List of New Order Jedi characters - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lowbacca (or “Lowie”) is the nephew of Chewbacca, a Wookiee from the Star Wars universe. Lowbacca studied to become a Jedi at Luke Skywalker’s Jedi Academy. He was a companion of Jaina Solo, Jacen Solo, and Tenel Ka. Since most of the people with which he would have to interact were not fluent in the Wookiee dialect, he used a small translating droid that he carried at his waist named Em Teedee. Later it was modified so as to hover, and follow him around, flying. Being a Wookiee, Lowbacca is a rarity among Jedi as Force-sensitives are less common among Wookiees than among other species, one being born only every century or so. He wields a bronze-bladed lightsaber. Lowie has a love of computers and their programming.

After being left at the Jedi Academy, Lowie was left an air speeder as a present from Chewbacca. While flying in the air speeder, he discovers a crashed TIE Fighter which he, Tenal Ka, Jaina and Jacen Solo proceed to repair and then install a hyperdrive into. However just before completing the repairs on the TIE Fighter, the pilot who survived the crash attacked them and Lowie took the air speeder back to the temple, which was damaged during the escape. This forced him to run to the temple and dropped EM Teedee (but recovered him later). He, Han, Lando, Chewie and Tenel Ka rescued the Solo twins from the TIE pilot.

During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, Lowie was one of the Jedi to go on the assault on the voxyn-creating worldship near Myrkr.  [..read more.. ]
