Bonfire Night

 

Captain Butterfly took this photo of the bonfire on Saturday night. It was as splendid as ever, and crowds of people came. The firework display - the bits that whizzed past our windows - was spectacular.   It was still blazing away on Sunday morning, as I saddled up the pixels and Zoomed to the meeting. It was an upside down meeting as our speaker was delayed (traffic I think) and so we had the Watchtower study first, followed by the public talk.

It was a very reassuring meeting, reminding us of Jehovah's loyal love for all who love him. It is so important to talk to Jehovah all the time in prayer. I can definitely improve on that - and many other things. I do often ask that, one day, Col and I may be able to thank Him for this beautiful earth from perfect hearts. Something not possible for us yet.

Monday started sunny, with my two Zoom sessions. We had forgotten to tell the Oz Branch that our clocks had gone back! - but he worked it out, and appeared. Apparently just as it is starting to get much colder here, it has suddenly got colder in Oz. Yet they are supposed to be heading into the burning heat of a Sydney Summer - it is us who are heading for winter. And Col had his Zoom session with his siblings in the afternoon, after which I made us our supper: cheese and onion omelette for Himself, hot buttered toast (with seeds) for me.

I feel an urge to write a poem. It would be called Seagulls and Bonfires... but so far the title is all I can manage.
