14th Making a Hurricane kit for Jonathan.
15th Now a Spitfire kit fr David. Started on the Victory but found the instructions inadequate. I was never to finish it.
16th Enjoying games with Bulmers. Back to Bible reading after ten days. Over the years I now think my inconsistency in daily devotions was not merely a spiritual problem but linked to my then undiagnosed cyclothymia = bipolar problem. Around three years later someone, a neurologist, did not diagnose it but said my mood swings rendered me unfit to be an elder. I was defended by a fellow elder, anthems consultant physician. But my supporter unlike my critic was an elder. My critic aspired to be one but was a baptist and not a team player. he is an outstanding leader and became a very able missionary. But like lots of missionary leaders he was only happy when others danced to his tune.
18th Back to Jos with a generous Christmas present from Onamusi.
