Weather has turned very warm. Last night we went on a long guided walk along the river, looking at places where Norwich School painters had produced pictures. Extremely illuminating, but quite tiring. Went for quick meal at the Cafe Rouge – one of my favourite eating spots – on the way home.

Today we have been catching and tidying up. Dot is progressing apace with sorting out the garage, though it would be hard to tell at a cursory glance. I have a couple of boxes in my room to sort through, and several piles of stuff are earmarked for the tip, which should make a difference.

First World Cup game just finished – Germany beating Costa Rica 4-2 in an exciting game, using “exciting” in a fairly loose sense.  Not bad, though.

And the picture? Hard to make individuals out, but it’s taken at Jerusalem in 1980, I think: the Surrey Chapel party led by Pastor David Middleton. My mother is pretty much central at the front (dress even oranger than the rest of the photograph), and there are some other familiar faces.
