Resumed studies, books and cat

Sandy Bay BWA 10.00 am. It was good to meet with these ladies after the 2 week break. We had a shorter Bible study time, and then started making book bags from a strong piece of fabric that was sent to us in one of the parcels from SA.
We received a call from customs to collect a parcel that had arrived from Ascension Island. It was a box of 2nd hand and Christian books and a set of study guides from the sister of one of Graeme’s friends in the USA! We will use these to start a lending library.
The Cape Villa study was poorly attended. Charles was feeling poorly and Edie is getting rather frail. Despite the reduced numbers, we still had a good time together.
Jamestown Bible Study at 7.30 pm. Good to be together again for this study. Steve and Maureen and Scilla were missed.

Life in the manse is full of "cattitude". One minute Clawd is sweet and cute, sitting on my shoulder, (he gets there by claw-climbing his way up the back of my legs and back);

or playing with his pom pom;
the next he is under the bed waiting for a foot to attack; or playing "fierce" games with Graeme's hand. He dislikes being left alone and usually amuses himself in whatever room that either Graeme or I are occupying. He sleeps at the foot of our bed, and is usually no trouble during the night. Mornings are another story - he decides when it is time for me to wake up. I usually emerge from sleep to the sound of purring coming from behind my head; when I don't respond to the gentle wake up call, Clawd starts playing in my hair; if I still remain lying on the pillow, he nips my ear. That usually gets me going!
