| | We enjoyed our gathering yesterday for fellowship and feasting, even though Brian was unable to be present (his flight didn't arrive until 8pm). I had a nasty moment at 7am when the electricity went off just as I put the turkey in the oven. By the grace of God it was just a short cut, but it reminded me of the many Thanksgivings of earlier years in which we had everything cooked at least the day before because of the erratic power. It didn't really matter when the power went off at 1.30pm because by then we were all enjoying ourselves and the preparatory work was done. While talking we spent the time sitting outside in the shade where there was a slight breeze, and cutting out the crafts for the last day of EBF (VBS) today. Yesterday was cooler (41 Celsius) than Wednesday (50.5 Celsius).
It is 11 (or 12, if you count the 12th) days since the Mayor gave his word on our 'hole' - no sign of any work or plans for work yet, but he still has a few days left! I avoid putting the car in the driveway, although I can do it first try - the trick is to hit the exact bit of the kerb where the step is lowest, on the right angle to reverse the car straight through the (narrow) gateway, with enough speed to make it up the 8" jump - I hate to think what will happen if I miss and hit the pillars - or alternatively have to get out and step in the stinking mud to lock the wheels! |
