The dragon flies again

Nick and I started the day by walking on the world’s most remote golf course – it’s just across the road from our complex! The course is only nine holes, each of which get played twice, but it’s neatly kept and seems to keep the avid golfers happy. I didn’t time it, but I would guess that it took about 25 minutes to walk around the perimeter. Freezing cold so early in the morning – we were glad of three layers of jackets and sweaters and a beanie!

Good News Club was slightly better attended this week. Nick did a non-scriptural talk on Pinocchio which was relevant nonetheless – how we are first dead in sin, then as a Christian we are ‘alive’ but still on strings – still bound to the sinful human nature. One day in heaven we will be a ‘real boy’!
We went down town after the club and were home again in time for lunch. We brought the kite back with us as Longwood is an excellent place to fly it, so after lunch and a DVD, Nick took the boys, and Kay and Josh who had been with us for the DVD as well, outside where they had many successful flights, each taking turns to hold the string or launch it. It had turned really cold in the afternoon, so Milo for all was appropriate.


I hung up a load of washing before we went out this morning, and when we got home it was dry. It’s a miracle.
