"The electricity is out," I was informed. "It's a bit cold and all, but in about half-an-hour, it will also be dark. What do we do -- cancel?"
Hmmmm ... first thought was to cancel.
Fortunately, I had a second thought. When RAD Club began in January 2012, I ran it in my home. I still have all the plastic plates, the long tables, the extra folding chairs, and the means for showing Power Point presentations on my large-screen telly, so we just moved RAD back to its original venue.

| Just like old times ... |
Some slight changes were necessary. We had to play games outside first, before it got dark. We had our craft of decorating fairy cakes before our tea, because the tea hadn't arrived from the church yet.

We had some Christmas carol rehearsal when Sue tinkled the ivories on the piano. And we had a short time with the slide show as we updated what's happening to Phil in Russia (one of the Arctic 30, wrongly imprisoned for protesting against Arctic oil drilling), and prayed for countries in the 10-40 window.

| Our topic this week: sharing (Don't mind if I do ...) |
We didn't have our t-shirt time or our sweet shoppe, but hopefully, we'll be back to normal this next week!
(On second thought ... saying that we'll be "back to normal" suggests that we're normal in the first place!)
