Pulling a few things together

1. Gaynor continues daily sessions of radiotherapy. Nearly half way through and should be concluded by end of May.
2. She is tired, one of the side effects of the radiotherapy.
3. We've had a couple of little outings, especially for a meal to celebrate our birthdays.
I have finished a truly great supply ministry with the folk at Morialta UCA. The people have been so warm, supportive, caring and sharing in ministry with them over 11 months has been a joy. (lots of adjectives there!)
4. I have 6-8 weeks helping out at Argent, a congregation of a dozen elderly souls (youngest in early 80's?) with their old church located on the edge of a cemetery. It is about 7 hours per week, so not much chance of doing more than preach and a little pastoral care. I helped out over Easter in 2013 so do know the folk, although a few members less now.
Now I've got to do some serious thinking, etc. to find things to do each day lest the days become unbearably depressing with so little to occupy my time. Can't spend most of the day reading! Suggestions welcome.

Radiotherapy

Very determined

Gaynor has had a very determined morning.
A walk up and back to the local shopping centre.
A walk to and from  the nearby postbox.
Now she is puffing.
I try to tell her not to do too much, but she wants to prove she can.
Oh well ....
