There is an organisation called ‘Shape’ on the island that creates work opportunities for the mentally and physically handicapped. They make soaps and shower gels, recycled paper,
do simple woodwork, maintain a vegetable garden,
make mats and bags and things out of flax or aloe fibre, a blind lady strings beads for necklaces, etc. Although they have been in operation for 6 years, they had their official opening this afternoon.
There is a peach tree in the middle of the front garden, and it was in blossom. So pretty.
As the opening speech was being made, the rain came down. I moved under the passageway’s roof, but Graeme and Arthur braved the weather.

Graeme and I came home and watched the DVD of ‘Fried green tomatoes’. My kind of movie. I ended up watching it with a dog on my lap and a cat on my shoulder.
Arthur stayed up late, going over his sermon, and rose very early. He made me nervous for his sake.
