It all went well: JF peaked in the first session, which was a brilliantly poetic, broad-brush look at mysticism. But his subsequent stuff was also good, and there was a very nice feel to it all. The volunteers got on well as usual.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, there were very few people at Communion yesterday, and I also found myself doing a solo on guitar when Dot was grabbed to deliver (that can&#8217;t be the right word) the Cup. \u00a0Oh, I think it&#8217;s administer. I could go back and change it, but I&#8217;m on a roll. In the afternoon we went to the cemetery at North Walsham, timing our arrival precisely to coincide with the only shower of the day, which stopped as we drove off. Had a cup of tea with Jessie, who looked well. In the evening we picked up JF (remember him?) from St Julian&#8217;s and took him to Nicholas&#8217;s, where we all had dinner: lamb foll0wed by blackberry and apple pie, all expertly cooked by NV. Is there no end to his talents? JF is a pleasant and gentle grandfather who lives in Santa Monica, but still thinks a shirt and trousers (sorry, pants) is the right choice for a Norfolk September evening. Worth thinking about.<\/p>\n<p>My Twitter account got hacked last night, so I have been fielding emails and tweets from people telling me so: this will no doubt continue, although I changed the password first thing this morning and switched it on Facebook too, just in case. David helped with putting all my photos in Dropbox, a process which I have been informed by Dropbox will take 23 days. I feel they may be exaggerating. I hope they are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Still keeping busy in mildish, dryish weather, but there is an autumnal feel to the air.
