The Weekend

This weekend was spent close to home helping with young man, making supper, and trying to be useful in other ways. I did get out for a few minutes with Conner on a trip to Morrison's in Oxted. We were in search of infant formula and some bread for supper. The roads around here are so beautiful that it is always a joy to go on an errand. Sunday I went to church with Matt and Conner. It was actually a very nice testimony meeting: no craziness, just affirmation that this is a good way to live, and that family binds us together even when not all are members or active. The expressions of gratitude and family solidarity resonated with me. I'm glad I went. For Sunday dinner we all pitched in to make sukiyaki. It was delicious. Late afternoon, I spent some quality time in the back garden playing ball with Nashi and watching airplanes make their approach to Gatwick. Matt introduced me to an app that tracks flights and identifies the planes. As Anna noted in a text exchange, it is my "dream app."

 Wensleydale and Stilton cheese make a delicious Saturday lunch

The trip to Morrison's is a treat

 An Asian market sells the thin-sliced beef

 Delicious!

 Sometimes I am a major disappointment to Nashi

 The one just south of me (blue dot) is the one I can see

I think Nashi gave up

All in all, a pleasant weekend. When Kim gets a diagnosis (hopefully tomorrow), we will know better how we will spend our last few days here.

That's all for now.

Bella has the exact exact same ball as Nashi. And they look quite similar, except Nashi's nose is browner than Bella's.
