This is the other Amy, daughter of the other Vicky, our friend at church. The picture was taken at Mangreen Hall nearly three weeks ago. Now we’re on the brink of the big event at Dunston Hall – our ruby wedding anniversary celebration tomorrow. Yesterday and today have been warm, and it should be warm tomorrow, but thunderstorms are forecast. Well, at least it will give us an atmosphere. I think we’re almost ready.

Yesterday Dot and I went into the city and had lunch at Caffe Italia before buying some chocolates as prizes for tomorrow’s quiz. Then I went home, via the Cathedral, and Dot stayed in the city for a while. I then returned the courtesy car and retrieved ours – without dents – from the Rackheath garage where it had been languishing for a couple of weeks. Got it home without incident, just in time to let Dot in.

Today Dot went to Park Farm, and I paid in some cheques and visited the Cathedral again. I have now finished my prostate account – or at least brought it up to date. Nearly 12,000 words, and 30 pages of A4. Dot has started to read it.
