Gas ran out

We had a good Sunday School lesson. Megan, who had stopped attending, joined with us again. The other children payed better attention this week. We have started going through the story of Joseph.

The government has commissioned a French company to put up protective fencing all over the 2 hills that bracket Jamestown, with the hope that they will prevent any further rockfalls from reaching the homes and buildings in the valley below. Here is the view of the back of the manse property now. I must confess that the fences do not inspire much confidence in me - especially when I see the size of some of the rocks that came hurtling down 2 years ago.
A photo of Graeme having 'a read'. Our 3 pets love it if Graeme or I sit still long enough for them to have an afternoon nap on our laps.
While Graeme was reading, and Arthur was lying in bed (not feeling well) I was busy preparing our Sunday meal. It is difficult to get beef, and I was happily preparing a small beef stew, and apple crumble. The stew was ready for me to add the potatoes and vegetables, and the apple crumble had been put into the oven. Then the gas ran out... I managed to finish the stew and the apple crumble, one at a time, in the tiny micro wave.

  1. Praise God and Hurrah for CAN France! Some say the netting is ugly but rockfalls are uglier...trust me.

  2. Heh heh...I'm with Gen on that one! I would feel safer with the netting, no matter how flimsy, than without it. They will at least slow down any future rocks if not hold them altogether. Yay!
