On Leap Day (Feb 29) I attended the last library session and was astonished to find 18 people attending \u2013 far more than the other three sessions put together. I didn&#8217;t hang around for long \u2013 just checked with Lucy that the quiz and survey I had put together for this weekend were OK.<\/p>\n<p>Then yesterday evening it was out to Dayspring again for a trustees&#8217; meeting with an additional member \u2013 Rebecca Matthews &#8211; who I believe is from the local tourist organisation and who might become a trustee. She certainly knows a lot about funding. We discussed forthcoming events for the year, which left me feeling rather exhausted. I need to get writing monologues, dialogues, songs and poems. Meanwhile we have to hope the weather tomorrow and Sunday is as good as it has been these last few days.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday I visited my aunt Josephine in her temporary abode at Cromwell Court on Cecil Road, and after taking her for a short walk we sat on a seat in the sun for a while. She&#8217;s keen to get home and independent again, though it will be difficult for her. The sudden loss of her friend Joyce means that she&#8217;ll be on her own for more or less the first time in her life. She&#8217;s a strong woman, though, and good to talk to.<\/p>\n<p>Today I made my second visit to Sudbury in a week because my brother Phil wanted to pick up a bike he&#8217;s ordered online from Halfords. He doesn&#8217;t like driving on his own. Took us some time to find the shop, because it was wrongly marked on the map, but we eventually tracked it down. Not too bad a trip really, though I&#8217;m not feeling 100 per cent. Think I may have a slight infection. Again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paston is working up a head of steam leading to the Big Weekend atarting at 10.30 tomorrow.
