Manoeuvring
Aug. 23rd, 2025 10:17 am 1. I noticed- on the way back from Wilmington- that the trees are beginning to be tinged with brown. For, "Summer's lease has all too short a date...."
2. We have eight people staying with us currently- and the ninth is on her way. Thus far we've manoeuvered round one another quite elegantly and there have been no collisions.
3. Frances (that's Keith's friend) was telling me what she believes about the current state of world affairs. God, she says, is "sifting" humanity, but don't worry because he has a great future in store for us. This is is what I think too- only I wouldn't put it in theistic terms. That future, she goes on to say, will be pioneered by Britain and Israel- and here she loses me. "Why Israel?" I ask. "Because it's the centre of the world....."
4. The six year old breezes round singing to himself in what sounds like a proper language but probably isn't (though who knows?) In my days as a religious loony we used to call this "speaking in tongues".
