It’s a beautiful day on sunny St Helena, with a clear sky and a slight breeze. Not the kind of weather one would expect for the beginning of July! It’s 10h32 and we’ve had our tenzees; the bulletins are busy photocopying, the blinds are up and working in Nick’s office, and the sea is dark blue. We have a combined service, and a united service with the Salvation Army at 2.30 today, with fellowship following. I think we’ll just be spending the rest of the morning at home doing what we’re doing – that is, mucking about, slowly getting done what we need to in preparation for the booktable and that sort of thing today.
Yesterday we went out to lunch at Donny’s. Nick and the boys had cheeseburgers and chips, and I had a delicious drumstick and chips. It was quite comparative with Ardees, perhaps slightly more expensive, but the food and atmosphere was much nicer. I’m sure we’ll go there more often. We didn’t really do much else yesterday other than GNC – and there are new girls coming all the time, which is so good. Nick did the talk on the parable of the sower, and it was quite a clear explanation about the state of their hearts. After lunch, we helped Jean set out the tables and cups in the schoolroom, and Nick did some more preparation for the funeral tomorrow. It was a very stay-at-home sort of day.
Side Path, which was apparently opened again on Friday, was closed again yesterday when I took Jean home. Perhaps the wall has crumbled some more and it’s unsafe, who knows? But it’s not a pleasant drive up Constitution Hill in the golf. Power steering and a working hooter are two things one really needs for island driving!
