The Captain and the slide show

Posted on 8:57 AM by Unknown
Col did his first Maldive trip presentation last night - a talk and slides - and lots of people took his card, so he may be asked to do more.   It was on rather late, but went very well.  A lot of the day was spent in going through it and trying to get it all just right.  But I did do a big shop in the morning.

I was out with Louise this afternoon. We managed nearly two hours - and, bearing in mind these words of Paul:  "I planted, Apollos watered, but God kept making it grow" (1 Corinthians 3:6),  I hope what we were doing was watering.  We had a cup of tea and a long chat with a very hospitable lady who Louise has been calling on for some time now.  It was cold - there was a bitter wind when we left, but the flat was warm and cosy.

Its the meeting at the Hall tonight, so we get back into our Kingdom routine again.

We heard from the Thai branch of the family today via the cousin's group.  He promises us some photos of the children soon.

Col got the car and its new tyre this afternoon - and the bill - AAAArrrgh.
