After torrential rain on Saturday, we had a warm day on Sunday for our church day out at Mangreen Hall, just outside Norwich. I’d been feeling quite down the day before and woke up feeling distinctly dodgy, but in the end decided to go and immediately felt better. It turned out to be a really good day – relaxing and invigorating – and the company was excellent, as well as the setting. The picture shows Dot playing violin (electric) with Matthew, and the two of them accompanied me singing one of my old songs that I’d updated slightly for the occasion. A good selection of bring-and-share food at lunchtime, and lovely grounds, including a stone circle, to relax in. Took quite a few pictures. The day ended at 5pm, but we spent quite a time chatting to various people before leaving. Home just after 6pm, and it started to rain about five minutes later. Watched Olympics round-up – first UK gold medal from Nicole Cooke in the cycling road race, who proved to be so hyper that she was completely uninterviewable.

Today has been much quieter. Martin Laurance came round to pick up a CD with one of my Paston poems on it for transfer to an A3 acetate. He later came back with the acetate, which I’ll deliver to Lucy tomorrow. I’ve also put together four A4 sheets of Mangreen pictures which look pretty good, I have to say. Well, I don’t have to, but I will.
