Getting away from it all


After one of my rare Sunday service efforts – Paihia at 9am and Russell via car ferry at 11am, followed by lunch with the visiting congregation at the latter – we have escaped for a couple of nights. To get away for a bit.
And have we got away! There’s no one we should visit. There’s no cellphone coverage. We can’t even sight up the satellite for our little Freeview TV setup. And somehow, the thumbdrive with the two projects I’d planned to work on, got left at home. Come to think of it, I can’t even upload this post to my blog.
But the weather which promised to be very hot has turned out very pleasant so far. There’s a grand beach just down the road. And we have books. Everything else can wait until we go home in a couple of days.
The moral is: at our stage of life, you take it all as it comes. Today hasn’t turned out as we thought. But it's here. And we will wring every bit of enjoyment out of it that we can.
