Dogs, then Carols and Cocktails

Graeme and I did some shopping, then went to visit a dear old lady, Maisy (church member) in hospital before visiting our pugs. The pugs have happily accepted their new carers. One of them- Roberta – has even taught them new tricks. It is comforting to see that they are content. The man in charge of the dogs knew Maisy, and her late husband, and told us how Maisy had taught him Sunday school as a little boy, and had played the violin in church.

On the way back, we dropped in on Maisy’s brother. The 2 of them live together. It is such an encouragement to speak to old folks who have faithfully followed our Lord for so many years. We can learn a lot from them.

6.30 am and “Carols and Cocktails” at the governor’s house. Graeme was asked to bring his trumpet along. It was strange seeing people in their fancy clothes, sipping drinks, then heartily joining in a bit of carol singing. This was followed by some delicious snacks.
