\"Dot<\/a>
Dot in the woods at Felbrigg<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Busy day last Thursday: so busy that Dot got confused and ended up\u00a0doing a presentation at Little Plumstead school instead of coming to the Paston members’ meeting at Bacton, where\u00a0Susan Curran spoke rather well and then almost had a fight with Lucy about the Pastons’ reputation and origins.<\/p>\n

Earlier we had a Chronicle meeting at Rob’s house, preparing the Oxnead event and discussing various other things, including the book. It seems I will be wearing some kind of costume. I may have to leave the country. Afterwards Rob and Penny entertained me to tea, which meant I was pretty full when faced with the fabled Paston refreshments.<\/p>\n

Still, at least we all got there, despite signs declaring the Bacton road closed (it wasn’t). Apparently removing road signs afterwards isn’t included in the contract\u00a0for repairing a road. Not many people at the talk, but a nice evening.<\/p>\n

Dot and I\u00a0missed an extraordinary meeting of the PCC that discussed the parish profile (probably a good thing), but I made some comments beforehand that Howard passed on. I called on him the next day and bumped into Beth, who is looking very well.<\/p>\n

On the same day we emerged triumphant in our table tennis encounter with the Robinsons, despite not having practised. It was interspersed with lasagne and a couple of world cup quarter-finals, both of which were pretty dire. Philip went to sleep at one point.<\/p>\n

Saturday and Sunday were quiet, apart from a lively Communion service and afters at church. Elvira brought a cake, and there was some jamming with Carrie (using my guitar), Dot and a guy from the farm, who plays the piano by ear.<\/p>\n

Today, which has been muggy, Dot visited a couple of schools and continued the task she started yesterday: painting the kitchen. She claims to like doing it; so I let her do it (as if I had a choice). It all makes me feel uneasy, though.<\/p>\n

Have had a look at Godfrey Sayers’ book and made him an offer. Haven’t heard from him; so it was probably ill-judged.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
