Quite the circuitous day!
I also have been going round and round in the same circle whilst trying to pay the monthly bills; no invoices, just receipts, then waiting on the telephone trying to speak to a "person" to tell me how much I actually owe their corporation. Finally I was able to pay three different amounts, in my usual way through my Bank's telephone.
So much for the Post Office Strike! It has lost thousands $ this year, what next??
Yesterday I finished the complicated sewing, an "Advent Calendar" to give to the four children who now live in "our "erstwhile Clayton house". I shall deliver it on Sunday December 1st.
December 8, St.George's is having a Lessons and Carols Service @ 7pm. Carols being sung by our renewed choir of which I am a part.
Christmas eve we have a Shepherd's Pie and Angel Food Cake Supper, once more, Officiated by our brand new Minister; an extremely pleasant retired man.
Great changes for St. G's who we expected to close down in a couple more years. An Eastern Orthodox Community recently asked if they could rent our church and Hall for 4 hours per week, they usually have 45 - 50 people whom they appear to feed very well. Our Bishop signed all the papers two weeks ago. Previously they rented an old church, St.Johns on Highway 7 which was sold; this summer the Orthodox Community rented a Farmer's field and large Tent, obviously they could not survive the winter!
Winter is almost here, I had my snow tires and new windshield wipers plus oil etc; finished yesterday afternoon, then grocery shopping and came home in pitch dark, which did not bother me at all in spite of # 29 being very busy.
I'm still trying to be in touch with Graham and Ana On Vancouver Island after the 2 great storms. They have massive trees around the property and the roads are the same. Without Hydro they cannot work from home. Ian has taken possession today of his new house in Wolfville N.S, but will not move until January. Too much work now that he is his own Contractor but still working with Macquarie University, Australia, also in Norway, Sweden and I think Iceland and parts of Greenland.
Goodnight.
Suzanne
