August 14th

Crucifix Orchid

Played tennis with the girls this morning before Ian arrived. They are hitting the net more often than not! When Ian arrived we went over last weeks activities with Ian and discussed the programme for the week. We are going to have to spend quite a bit of time preparing for our prayer event but we will be involved in all the same things as the last few weeks as well.This afternoon we had to go food shopping again. I shall be so glad when I am not having to live week by week as it is challenging to manage meals and budgets! I had not thought that this would be quite as tricky as it has been.


This evening I went along to sit in on the deacons' meeting. I have only been to one meeting before quite a while ago and I found it a worthwhile experience.
Custard Apple
I forgot to say yesterday that a lady at church gave us a crucifix orchid to look at. She said they are quite prolific over here and she has loads in her garden. It is a shame we can't bring any back as they are truly beautiful. She also gave us a custard apple to try - not so beautiful. Still, shouldn't judge a book by its cover. We are going to all try it and see what it tastes like!
P.S. - Custard Apples have a very intense sweet, melon-y flavour, but have a more gooey, sticky texture.
