A relatively quiet week for us, but interspersed with
some lovely visits.
From Port Lincoln, Coral (Brian’s sister) and Vivian came
for a few days, and we tried very hard to teach them how to relax, Pfeiffer
style. I never tire of taking our visitors for a drive around the Portland port
where there is always something interesting to watch, or around the local
beaches where you just might spot a whale, or seals, or simply watch the gannets
flying low over the sea.
Then we had a delightful and unexpected visit from Lois
Windridge (nee Kempe) and her sister Eunie. I always marvel at the ways our
lives can interact over the years. The recent resurrection of an old photo
shows Lois and myself as young children, along with our families, at a
confirmation gathering at Hamilton. Then we re-met many years later at Box Hill
church, before getting to know each other much better during the Compassion
tour to The Philippines. Amazing!

Health-wise all remains stable. So much so that I decided
to slowly reduce one of my (many) pain-relief drugs. I gave myself all of 4
days before going back up to the original dose again! That really surprised me –
and made me realise what a fine line there is in managing the pain in my lower
back and left hip, and how thankful I am that there are drugs that keep pain at
bay without turning me into a complete zombie.
Meanwhile we’re enjoying watching the Olympics (that’s if
we don’t slip into ‘nanna-nap’ mode - although there's no chance of that after watching Kyle Chalmers come from behind to win a swimming gold medal).
