16.01.2022 Monday Minute with a Member Introducing Andrew..... 1. How long have you lived in Darwin? 16 years. Nearly 5 this time but also from 3 Jan 1964 to 28 Dec 1974 2.

Honourable Mentions to Trailer Boat Club, Parap Markets, Foreshore and Himalayan Spices. 4. What was the last book you read? Mutiny on the Bounty by Peter Fitzsimons. Sensational, but every book of his I have loved. 5. What was the last song/album/music you listened to? Paul Kelly and the Coloured Girls Gossip. A double album which was a 25th birthday present from me to me. Not a day has passed that I regret this purchase. 6. Have you binge watched a tv show? Which one? Yes (with my wife) - The Good Wife. Our kids were suitably impressed.... proud you might say.... 7 seasons in 7 weeks. We thought we raised pathetic to a new level, but neither of us regrets it. 7. What do you like to do with your spare time or to relax? Read, sudoku, watch documentaries 8. Do you have a cause/charity/community group you support or are part of? No, but I sympathise with breast cancer sufferers and people with heart problems. Oh and lately with mental health. 9. Do you have a favourite Bible verse? Which one? No, I tried for many years and asked people close to me this question, but nothing resonated long term. I discovered that I like the stories and that any insights were welcome. Bible study groups always play a part in this and I think that’s healthy. 10. How/when do you like to pray? Usually when I’m alone, when things are going well or when things are going badly. When I’m thinking of someone or know of a certain circumstance. Time of day doesn’t matter but more often at bedtime. See more
