A considerably cropped version of trees taken from our car window by Oliver (still 5). Rather artistic, I think.

Yesterday we had a band rehearsal session after Communion: two guitars, two violins and an occasional piano. Went rather well – very enjoyable. Today Dot visited the vicar as she is top woman as far as organising the Richard Rohr sessions in January is concerned. I have already earmarked the easiest jobs for myself, which do not include car parking marshal. Hey, it may be snowing.

Speaking of snow, storms are forecast for the weekend by offbeat forecaster Weather Action, which has a good record of forecasting based on Earth/Sun interactions. Half of me wants it to be right, and the other half doesn’t, because our family are coming to see us and need safe passage. I am watching the Atlantic Charts with interest. At the moment the BBC’s five-day forecast shows no sign of it, which means it’s a near-certainty. I don’t think the BBC’s five-day forecast has ever been right. I pointed this out to them once, and they said they corrected it as it got nearer – not seeming to understand that this didn’t make the five-day forecast any better.

Went with Dot to the funeral in Alburgh of Kit Flatt, one of her governors when she was head there, and a lovely person. The church was totally packed with people I’d never seen before and one or two I had. Weather slightly warmer, but still chilly.
