Yay! It's Saturday

-
It's hard to know which day is which these days. Someone said, "The week now only has 3 days - Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow".
Our weekly routine has always been marked by church on Sunday, Bible Study on Wednesday,  ... and Maccas on Saturday. Well that came to an abrupt end.

I woke up this morning feeling a bit sad - would this be our first unmarked Saturday, how will it even feel like a Saturday?
But then I realised that I need to go to the chemist . Yes, I know, they will deliver for free, but I NEED to go somewhere further than the letterbox. And the golden arches are right next to the chemist. So, there.

Takeaway breakfast, including the soy cappuccino with caramel syrup that is my weekly treat (and I can't make at home).

So - Yay! It IS Saturday one more time.

Trolleys and Butterflies

 When we moved here, we noted that there were very few garden beds - after gardening had been Peter's main activity when we were in Northam. That's OK, he said, I'll just go fishing instead, now that we are near the ocean. Somehow the fishing didn't really happen, and so the plants multiplied - in a variety of pots and raised garden beds.With the constantly changing garden landscape - plants that were successful and others that didn't do so well - plants needed to be moved, and so the plant trolleys were born. The pots were getting bigger and bigger, holding fruit trees and the like. He made wheeled stands for the pots, painting them green to protect them from the weather, and now the plants are moved according to the weather - heat, winds, rain or hail, and so on. During storms they all gather in the patio. And the tennis racquet? Those pesky Cabbage Whites keep laying their eggs on our veggies with the green worms chomping away at everything. He gave himself a bit

The Shelter of the Most High

-
Some days it's hard to know what to feel about this Virus that seems to be stalking all of us. I sense that a lot of us are scared - of the sickness, of dying, and of the next few moths and years with all sorts of financial problems. And worried for our loved ones. It's a time for re-evaluating our lives, and thinking about what happens after death. Yep, I have even updated my Will. So, I have found this Psalm a great comfort. Of course, it is dependent on "dwelling in the shelter of the Most High". Otherwise there is a great deal to be afraid of. Psalm 91 1  Whoever dwells in the shelter  of the Most High      will rest in the shadow  of the Almighty. [ a ] 2  I will say of the  Lord , “He is my refuge  and my fortress,      my God, in whom I trust.” 3  Surely he will save you      from the fowler’s snare      and from the deadly pestilence. 4  He will cover you with his feathers,      and under his wings you will find refuge;      his faithfulne

I love puzzles

I love puzzles, and play lots of puzzle type games on my iPad. I don't play for points - or "coins" - or whatever they want to offer. I especially dislike those games where each time you play you have to try to beat a previous score, and the game sessions just get longer and longer. I like the games where the idea is to complete the puzzle - and there may be points, especially if it is done quickly and correctly. So then I decided to do a really BIG puzzle - I'm learning Chinese. (I'm using the nice little app " Duolingo ".) I'm doing it because: It's fun, like a really big puzzle with shapes and sounds to learn. I'm at an age when I need to look after my cognitive function. I'll be ready when our Chinese overlords arrive.
