Monday 28th October

Am not feeling too well, one of those long term headaches at the base of my skull has set in.  I dread them because they take weeks to shift.    Poor Bubbles was a casualty of it.  She likes to go out on the porch just for a short while in the evening, but before I could let her back in I had taken a pain relieving sleep aid, and fell fast asleep until 5 o'clock.  I jumped up, let her in, went back to bed, and she climbed into my arms.   She wrapped her little paws around them, was literally clinging to me (this is why I wear long sleeved night shirts)    Bless.
 
 So not done a lot....watched the news

In the news.......

It has been said that molten lava is a new kind of weather phenomenon, and the news has been following the progress of this lava in Hawaii, slowly moving and advancing...
Hundreds of people are leaving their homes.  They haven't made it mandatory, but no one is going to stay put in the face of that.

Sadly, in the Washington state shooting another child has died..  It has been revealed that the gunman, the 15 year old kid, texted the victims and asked them to meet him in the cafeteria, then he followed them in and shot them.  The remaining victims are still in very critical condition.
The school is situated on part of the Reservation of the Tulalip Indians, and the gunman was a tribal member, I think all, or some, of the victims  were as well.  I am familiar with the tribes round here, the Absentee Shawnee; Seminoles; Citizen Potawatomie; the Sac and Fox Nation; the Choctaws; and I have heard of Apaches and Cherokees, mainly from John Wayne movies, but I had never heard of the Tulalip Tribe.

I wish I'd had my camera ready when they showed a picture of the house, because it looked quite nice and sizeable, a bargain I would have thought, for £140,000.

This evening a couple of Fr Clark's friends organised a dinner for him and his wife at a downtown restaurant.    There were 20 there from Emmanuel and Shawnee Peace Fellowship, and it was very pleasant.   They leave Shawnee tomorrow, the 29th.
