An eel on Stronsay

As we were getting off the boat this morning, having made our crossing to say Mass on Stronsay, we were walking up the pier and spotted a large eel. The tide was very low which made it very easy to see. I guess it was about 1.5 metres long (5 feet) and quite chunky. Here are a couple on photos I was able to get:

WELCOME BACK AGAIN

Thank you for the nice comments you have been making about the changes we have made here on this blog. Several of you have downloaded the new toolbar. As Ginger said, it makes it really easy to go to the Prayer blog. It also makes it easy to come to this blog. We hope you will take advantage of the e-mail button on the Prayer blog to notify us when you want prayer or know someone else who does.

Slight Monastery damage

The Christchurch Monastery with a broken chimney.
Since this is the sum of the damage sustained
we have much to be thankful for.

Earthquake damage very close to the monastery
in Cranford Road.

Our prayers continue for all who have suffered material damage
and personal shock.
Our thanksgiving to God for the prosperity of New Zealand
that can afford it to legislate safe building standards for all its people.



God defend New Zealand!

God of Nations at Thy feet,
In the bonds of love we meet,
Hear our voices, we entreat,
God defend our free land.
Guard Pacific's triple star
From the shafts of strife and war,
Make her praises heard afar,
God defend New Zealand.

Men of every creed and race,
Gather here before Thy face,
Asking Thee to bless this place,
God defend our free land.
From dissension, envy, hate,
And corruption guard our state,
Make our country good and great,
God defend New Zealand.

Peace, not war, shall be our boast,
But, should foes assail our coast,
Make us then a mighty host,
God defend our free land.
Lord of battles in Thy might,
Put our enemies to flight,
Let our cause be just and right,
God defend New Zealand.

Let our love for Thee increase,
May Thy blessings never cease,
Give us plenty, give us peace,
God defend our free land.
From dishonour and from shame,
Guard our country's spotless name,
Crown her with immortal fame,
God defend New Zealand.

May our mountains ever be
Freedom's ramparts on the sea,
Make us faithful unto Thee,
God defend our free land.
Guide her in the nations' van,
Preaching love and truth to man,
Working out Thy glorious plan,
God defend New Zealand.

#231 - Wait

With tongue firmly in cheek again, I declare the prompt this week: Wait.  To those of you for whom it is Monday already, I am sorry for the wait!  My internet connection and I have spent the day in a fight.  For the last little while there has only been one of us doing Sunday Scribblings, so it is much worse when I can't connect.  I am sorry!


I hope you enjoy the prompt!
