We had a surprise visitor

25 Tishrei

We had a surprise visitor today. Doctor Sextus said he was just passing through the area on his way back room the coast. I think it was an excuse because we're a bit of a way from the coastal route. We do get travellers but they are usually looking for Rabbi Yeshua, it was very quiet around here before he came along.

Anyway, I introduced him to the twins. He was impressed with their progress. Apart from the spots they were really healthy. In fact, he told us, twins are often smaller than other children of the same age but my two were "impressive!" He said the itching sickness was common among Roman children too but usually passed with no lasting ill effects. He thought Devorah's treatment was excellent. Shmuli asked him if he would mind coming to see Old Silas. He could pay him...
"Of course, but we'll see if I can help him before we discuss payment."
Shmuli dashed off to get his wallet. I do hope he can help.
