It’s been hot again today, although we had a few patches of cloud cover during the day and even a short shower of rain this morning. During the morning I helped Aaron to finish his pompom, and then got Caleb started on one. Caleb did very well with it, successfully winding the wool round and round the cardboard circles, and then I cut and tied it. He also did a bit more knitting, but kept on snarling it and dropping stitches, so I advised him to give it up for now, which he was glad to do. In the afternoon we went to the docks, Donny’s side, to feed the fish – just for a change of scenery and to get out the house for a little while. It was great. The tide was pretty low so we could clamber over the rocks, and we saw a school of very large rockfish at the water’s edge. We had some juice and biscuits there, and then also sat on a bench outside Donny’s, in the shade, where we could watch the ship belonging to the French people who are doing the rock stabilising, being offloaded. The crane was working quite quickly to get sheets of fencing off the barge and onto the wharf. They have also brought over a little one-man helicopter, which we have not yet seen.
Church tonight was very good – Nick preached about miracles, and why we don’t see them anymore. His main point was that miracles highlighted a turning point in the history of the church – like when the apostles were planting churches, or when Jesus was ministering. They had already tapered off by the time Hebrews was written, about 70AD. Very interesting.
