Flat Tuesday

10.00 am Sandy Bay BWA. We started studying the Gospel of Mark. Some of the ladies have made up fabric teddy bears for the craft market, and Daphne brought me another piece of lace to attach to some linen. It seems that the ladies are now in earnest about making things to sell at our coffee morning :) On the way home, I took photos of the morning glories that are growing along patches of the road.A close up of the pretty flowers.
Another quick lace making lesson from Wanda. She was happy with the section that I had done, and then showed me how to do the more complicated section that followed. I was encouraged when I could understand what she was doing – I now have to try and do it myself.
Steve Terry very kindly made Graeme 2 book cases out of the wood that Nick Thorpe had given him. These were delivered on Friday, and Graeme spent this afternoon treating the wood with an anti insect application followed by a wood oil. Hopefully we will soon have our books packed away. These book cases are another testimony to the unusual generosity of the people.
5.00 Cape Villa Bible study. There are now 10 people attending. It was one of those times when it felt as if the words were dropping out of my mouth like lead balls to the floor. Flat.
7.30 Jamestown Bible study. A number of the folk were away attending a memorial service for a Saint that had died in SA. Somehow, this session also felt “flat.” Graeme and I cheered ourselves up by listening to a DVD of a sermon by a dynamic preacher – not most people’s idea of a “pick me up”, but it did the trick for us.
