Monday was the usual cleaning of the manse followed by a visit to our dogs, then preparation for the week's Bible studies. The dogs were exceptionally affectionate - almost as if they know that they will be coming home soon.
Sandy Bay BWA this morning, and Cape Villa Bible study at 5.00pm. I arrived a little early, and went over to Edie to chat before the study started. Somehow we got onto the subject of the unfashionable home made clothes that she had to wear as a girl. I told her that I also had to wear dresses made by my granny - she even made my knickers. Well, that really got Edie going! She sat there laughing out loud, and describing how she had to keep her knickers up with buttons, and later on, with string... Dreadful, rough items of clothing. Nothing like the soft, silky, pretty underwear that we get nowadays.
When it was time for the study to start, we walked arm in arm to the hall, with Edie stopping twice to have a good ol' cackle.
