After seeing how feisty the kitten gets when I don't do exactly as he pleases, Graeme suggested that we rename him Claud, or, alternative spelling, Clawed. A most appropriate name. See him pretending to be a lion in the jungle.
We attended a Science and Technology morning at the Prince Andrew High School. There were some very interesting displays showing how we have progressed over the years. An old fashioned toilet and bath, with detailed notes (not legible in the photo) explaining how they were used... Note the torn up magazines tied to the handle of the commode with an explanation of why they were there.
Lolly standing next to an old water geyser where wood chips were used to heat the bath water. She tells me that there are still a few in use on St Helena. 
Graeme went to visit Melvyn and Cardinal while I cleaned house. He got back too late for us to visit our dogs. Sad.
Spent the evening doing preparation for the Bible studies, as well as my lace and embroidery “homework”.

Wood chip geyser. One of these was positioned in your bathroom at the manse some 21 years ago. We used it once or twice but it produced a lot of smoke and only a little hot water, so I removed it and resorted to using an immersion heater (geyser) located on the wall outside the bathroom. Be thankful you have a cleaner seamless alternative now.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the "flat" experience at your bible study. It happens and is humbling. Yet sometimes it pleases the Lord to use our words when we think we have done very badly.

Thanks for the bit of geyser history. I wish I could know all the strange and interesting things that have happened within the manse walls... Also thanks for the encouragement. The Saints still speak fondly of you and Caryll.
