Rain, parade and parcels

The day started with a telephone call telling us that we could not visit our dogs today, as they were busy with emergencies – a sheep having difficulty birthing etc. We are not allowed to visit our dogs “unaccompanied” by one of the quarantine workers.
At 11.00 pm I met Elza and Maureen for coffee at the Coffee Shop near the wharf.

Lucky for me, Maureen told me that the previous ship (not the usual one) had brought mail from the UK and Ascension. I hurried off to the post office to find a number of parcels!! Whooppee! Gifts from our daughter who lives in London, as well as from 2 different friends in the USA.
As I was leaving the post office, there was the sound of music in the street. The Saints use any excuse for a parade down the main street. This time it was an Easter parade by one of the primary schools. People wearing Easter bonnets, children dressed up as bunnies, etc. One of the ladies from the Deadwood Bible study (Winnie) was in the parade with the autistic boy (Keenan) that she cares for. It has been raining on and off for the past 2 days. Usually I don’t take any notice of the rain, as it is just a soft drizzle. This time, however, I got a bit wet walking home. It was refreshing and cool after the hot days that we have had.

Went to lace class in the evening. Felt a bit frustrated, as I knew that I was doing something wrong, and could not quite see what it was. The class is full now, so Wanda asked me to pop in to her shop on Saturday for her to help me then.
