Solar Eclipse and Ice-Creams


Today started off as another cloudy, grey day. I was convinced it was going to rain, because it was getting darker and darker, but eventually at about lunch time, all the clouds disappeared and it was a hot spring day! I discovered later that the darkness was actually caused by an eclipse. Anyway…when Nick got home from prison ministry, he suggested that we go out for ice-creams, so we jumped in the car and raced to town. The take-away stand was operational, so we all got soft-serve cones and then sat on some stairs and enjoyed them in the sun. When those were finished, and all hands and faces wiped, we wandered up the road into some shops, to give Nick an opportunity to see what Christmas stock is available, particularly for the boys.
