Spent the day doing chores, prep, and finishing my first lace book marker.
We discovered the hard way, that NOTHING is open on a Wednesday afternoon. The car’s petrol tank is empty, so at about 1.00pm Graeme went to fill up so that I could travel to Deadwood this evening – only to find town (including the petrol station) closed - dead - like a morgue. I felt bad that Deadwood’s Bible study had to be cancelled simply because I did not have enough petrol to get there.
The shops close at 12.00am on a Wednesday. On Saturdays, they are open from 9.00am to 12.00 noon, and open again later in the evening from about 5.30pm to about 8.00pm. It takes getting used to.
4.30 pm Jamestown BWA. There is a good spirit between the ladies. Even those that do not make it to the meetings, are getting involved in preparing for the planned coffee morning on 10 July. It is great to see the different interests and abilities complementing each other. Brenda has arranged for her daughter in SA to collect ladies’ magazines (these types of magazines are not available on St Helena); Maud is already selling her flowers and putting the money away to be handed in on the day of the coffee morning; Iva has made a few tray cloths; Sandy Bay ladies are making teddy bears; Elaine is laminating recipes and printing the invitations; Wendy is knitting; etc, etc.

Yes, in the U.S. many gas stations and quite a few shops are open 24 hrs./day. Not to say that this is good as our biggest health concern here is stress! However it does mean that we were unprepared for shortened opened hours there. It taught us better planning though.
ReplyDeleteSounds like BWA is going wonderfully!
