Our eggcups are still on a boat somewhere in the Atlantic (hopefully floating on top of...), and so for the weekend boiled egg we've had to improvise... Yes, that is our loo roll! I was a little concerned about the pepper that missed the egg...

House hunting began in earnest this week. Nicci started on Thursday and Friday, narrowing it down to the top two, which I looked at on Saturday. Both were on the Bay near 'Bird Island' (a nature reserve with loads of walking and biking trails). Although both are lovely, we have put in a provisional offer on the larger of the two, which has a private sun terrace area. We'll wait and see what happens. Nicci keeps quoting "do not fret, it leads only to evil" (Ps 37 v 8b)... easier said than done when you've set your heart on a place!

Today we went to church again, and afterwards stopped round at Rick & Sally's to drop off a plant that we got Sally for her 70th birthday! They are a lovely couple, and have a PS3 and a full on home cinema set up with reclining leather armchairs complete with drink holders in the arm rests. Awesome! Anyway, they suggested we go for a walk around Seal Point towards Coyote Point. You pass by a little marina, and at the end you get to look across the Bay to San Francisco city and Oakland across on the East Bay. Again, the weather was wonderful. We are grateful to the Lord for an older, godly couple who have shown us real love in our first few weeks.
