The Bow in the Cloud

 

Here is the rainbow that shone over the archeologists last Tuesday week - photographed by Col of course.  It is the bow in the cloud that first appeared after the Deluge of Noah's day.

Our ex-Bible student - the lady of the flowers - has asked me to let her know how the eye op goes, so I hope I will be able to ring her in a day or two and tell her it has gone well - gulp.  Maybe we can re-start our Bible study in time.  We so much want to help her. She is a very kind, hospitable lady.

Medical matters continue to occupy time and energy which is almost inevitable at my age.  Monday was spent trying to find out why I have not yet got a date for my next delivery - of the stuff that has to be delivered, signed for, and popped into the fridge.  It took an age, and turns out to be a problem at the hospital end, with Rheumatology.  Can I face trying to call them?  Not yet.

Tuesday morning Captain B chauffered me to the surgery - blood test - and I was able to do some field service via Zoom in the afternoon.  Then in the evening it was the meeting, moved to Tuesday as it is the week of the Circuit Overseer's visit.

Having the meeting day moves always throws me, as I build my life round the rhythm of  the meetings.  Not that it takes a lot to confuse me these days...  well, it probably never did, but at least I now have old age as an excuse.

I restocked the freezer with cake - marmalade muffins this time - so that should see the Captain's packed lunches through my convalescence.

My next cataract operation is today - Wednesday as I am writing this.  I am hoping that Col will be able to post this tomorrow noting that it has gone well... I am just longing for it all to be over.

And our new C.O, gave us a beautiful encouraging talk on Tuesday night.  The title was: Love, a Perfect Bond of Union.  I hope to be able to blog a couple of points from it when and if I get back to blogging.

Operation done, hopefully a success, different from last time, new system, and more post-op pain.  But v v grateful to have it over with.
