This is Dot sitting under the clematis in our back garden: a really beautiful sight when it’s out, which unfortunately is only for a week or two a year. The picture was taken yesterday: a pretty acceptable day as far as the weather went. Today was also warm and dry, so maybe summer is nearly here.

On Friday evening we went to the cinema to see The Oxford Murders, which is a challenging and compelling film – quite intellectual in a way, but very satisfying. Lots of maths in it, which I always enjoy. Realised today that 55 is not only a fibonacci number but also the sum of numbers 1-10 inclusive. That’s got to be significant, hasn’t it?!

On Saturday we went to Park Farm for lunch, then on to Aylsham to a private view for Lucy Edwards (and others) at St Jude’s gallery. We parked in the church grounds and had a look inside the large and lovely church. I was feeling pretty groggy in the gallery, but it may have been because I had a mouthful of crab and shrimp pate at Park Farm, and I am slightly allergic to crab on occasion. Before going to Philip and Anne’s for a Chinese meal in the evening I took some acidophilus, which is brilliant for putting your stomach right, plus some paracetamol, after which I felt a lot better, and we had a nice evening. Caught a glimpse of their eldest daughter Louise, who may be moving back to Norfolk.

Today the music group did really well at church. We did one of my songs that I hadn’t played in public before, and I was very pleased with it – but the music generally went well. Followed by church lunch, which was fun as always. Afterwards gave Phyllis a lift home, someone else a lift to the station and then filled the car up with petrol.

Suzanne has been accepted for ordination training, which is great news for her. Sadly it does mean she’ll be away in Cambridge for a while. Norwich City’s last match of the season today: apparently they were all over Sheffield Wednesday, and lost 4-1. It’s not just Spurs who can do that. At least they’ve avoided relegation.
