It is 18 degrees Celsius. Relative humidity is 70%. Sun sets at 5 PM and rises again at 5:30 AM. Absolutely no wind--not even close to kite-flying weather--much to Wilf's disappointment! He has crafted several models of kite in the last couple weeks.
The major earthquake in Indonesia and the Baby of Bengal had absolutely no effect here. Pictures on TV indicate devastation in a lot of places including south India.
Wilfred & Laura Olson leave tomorrow afternoon for Kolkata, Delhi, Hong Kong, Vancouver, Calgary, Regina by December 29. It has been a delight to have them here this month. Autumn and Andrew will miss them. Ellen & Laura put together a fabulous Christmas dinner last evening. Christmas is a big deal for most here in Mizoram.
It has been four years since Wilf was in these parts before. He, and we, were quite disappointed when we were unable to obtain permits to visit Manipur.
School year follows the calendar. The new year begins January 17.Harmony McMillan, John McMillan, Robert & Melissa Orr, Bob Parker, Mike Parker, Joyce Taylor arrive January 9. A retreat to which we have invited friends from all over the NE will take place here at Silver Oak January 9-12.
