Wit Weekend

Saturday. Good News Club was attended by the regular group of about 12 children. It was a "strange" meeting. All 12 of them paid attention throughout the lesson AND the serial story that I read to them afterwards.

Sunday. 4 children showed up for Sunday school. A few minutes later they disappeared.... They had gone to fetch 2 friends so that they could qualify for the little gift for those that bring a friend. The whole system of stars, stickers and gifts as rewards seems to be important to them. Once again, after the lesson, I was asked whether they could come over to the manse to "play with the kitten". Clawd does not play well with strangers - he claws them, and attacks them. (He especially loves diving into, and hanging from Megan's waist length hair.) They simply wanted to spend time together at the manse.

Monday. Our last visit to our "girls" in quarantine! They come home on Friday.

We are sure they understand us when we talk about it. Abi has started peeing in her food bowl - an act of defiance.

We discovered a rabbit's hole in the enclosure today. There is also a mouse that we have seen sneaking in from the grass outside and into the area where their food is kept. A myna bird also visits them regularly, judging by the pile of droppings on their dog box. They do not lack visitors.

Graeme used an old pair of shoes for his quarantine visits. They have to be dipped in Jeyes fluid when we enter the enclosure, and again when we leave. Obviously not the best way to preserve shoes. They have JUST held out for the 6 months.

Cho listening while we told her that we will fetch her on Friday.

Our girls.

The Saints take the Anglican Christian calendar very seriously. Thurs was ascension day, and the shops and schools closed mid day. Today is WitMonday (Sunday was WitSunday, or Pentecost) and it is a public holiday.
