Winter

Winter is here. In other words, it rained. And after having rained once (for the first time in several months) it will probably rain again. Especially when you need to hang out the laundry. Clouds come and go, rain comes and goes. It looks like it will be clear for a while, so I hang out the laundry and after an hour it is half dry but clouds are gathering. Do I dare wait another half hour? Do I bring them in half wet? Better than all wet. Or some days I leave them out all day, and it doesn't rain, but nothing drys because of the coolness and the humidity.

Rocket fire from Gaza is always on the edge of our minds. Not that we go around worried or scared all the time, but it adds something very serious to life, and our hearts are with people who are in real danger.

I have added several Psalms to my list. I avoided using them earlier, because they are usually just one or two verse, which is quite different from singing the Scottish metrical in groups of six or so verses each. But really they are quite nice, in spite of being very short.
