Happy 18th Yaron; Happy B-day Barb

We are now in sticky, hot muggy Montreal not because we wish to be; we have matters to attend to (appointments, fence estimates and so on). We plan to make the best of it (that is if I don’t melt in the interim). Can’t wait until Thursday!!! I miss my daily swim most of all.

No change to Gilly’s condition today. He’s trying to meet all my requests with as much enthusiasm as he can muster (drink, exercise, eat that….), but it seems (to me, anyway) that my demands are multiplying daily.

I included a photo of Gilly with John the cook from Malawi, as promised the other day. John dressed up in his ‘pastor’ outfit for the ‘snap’ as the locals call it. He was so excited with the notion of having his picture taken that he arrived the next day with his whole family, all dressed up in their Sunday best for a family photo. I sent a framed copy to him with Gilly upon his return last December.
