I thought I must put up a pic of our recent visitor, a Poplar Hawk Moth. Either quite a few of them have come to visit, or one of them really likes our hotel and checks himself into an eggbox room every night.
It is another hot day, but the burn seems to have gone out of it. Have we reached the moment when August begins to tip over into Autumn? We desperately need rain, so I guess the trees will be dropping their leaves early anyway.
While I am hoping for Autumns without number in the restored earthly paradise, just at the moment I am hoping for at least one or two more of my favourite season.
But I wanted to say how amazing Zoom is, and how we now take it for granted. I had two Zoom sessions on Monday morning, one with a congregation sister, and one with my siblings - reaching as far as Oz.
And today I have two Zooms - the field service meeting and one with one of the young pioneers. Oh and Col had his usual Monday session with his brothers.
Medical matters also take up a lot of time. Col had a hospital blood test on Monday, and I have my Cataract operation coming up. I am trying not to think about it, though people who have had it assure me it is not at all bad, and over very quickly.
Col left early for The Field - the Archeologists' Field - today, so whatever wonderful thing he might find it stays with them. But I get to see a photo.
And to get back to Super Zoom - I am very grateful to Jehovah's organisation for transferring all our meetings into Zoom two days before the government lockdown and for providing many young sisters and brothers to patiently teach crumblies such as myself.
I wish it had been around when my parents were still here so they would have been able to talk to - and see - John every week.
