Good News club has experienced a steady decline in interest over the past few weeks. But today I received a call from a "drop out" asking to be allowed to attend this coming Saturday - the reason? We have spread the word that we are going to Rupert's Bay - one of the spots where swimming is allowed.
Arthur and Graeme had their eyes tested today. Arthur's left eye has deteriorated a lot, so he is getting new specs. The procedure is interesting. Eyes tested and frames chosen on St Helena. Frames and prescription sent to UK, where spectacles are made up, then sent back to St Helena. When the specs arrive, (4 to 6 weeks later) there is no one to adjust the frames to your face, or check that the correct lenses have been put into your frames. You just say "thank you" and wear them.
I am not feeling great this evening, but guess what? Arthur not only bought the ingredients for tonight's supper, but he also cooked it, and served it to me.
