Weather is still quite pleasant, and we&#8217;re completing our holiday preparations following a visit to Carrow Road. I sat with Philip Robinson and Dot sat in her usual seat; so we were at opposite ends of the ground. Norwich won 3-1 after making hard work of most of the game.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier today I was up with the lark (assuming it was a fairly tardy lark) to speak at the Hub Church breakfast meeting at Cringleford. I was standing in for Heather \u2013 no easy task \u2013 and I was a bit worried about precisely what form the event would take.\u00a0It turned out to be quite a small gathering of\u00a0agreeable people. I decided at the last minute to talk without notes, which was a bit hair-raising, but I think it was the right decision. I spoke on living water (John 4), and one child of about three definitely tuned in, asking if the water in his bottle was living. Karen was leading, and we had breakfast first.<\/p>\n<p>Afterwards Dot and I went to Homebase to buy some taps for the bath, replacing the mixer tap with shower attachment which is now redundant (and dripping).<\/p>\n<p>Last night we had Jessie, Roger, Debbie and Philip round for a meal, which was of course a whole-day event, though they didn&#8217;t arrive till 6pm. Dot put everything into it, including the house and garden. Excellent meal, and a nice evening.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday (working backwards) we were at Angela&#8217;s again, mainly looking through Ethel&#8217;s old pictures, which came mainly in the form of slides. The process was therefore time-consuming. We had another pleasant meal in the George halfway through, but didn&#8217;t get home till about 7pm. Still, we have just about completed the task.<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday was just as full. Glenn and Colin (plus his son Billy) came to put in the bathroom electric shower, which required quite a bit of drilling and cable-running. \u00a0I thought they would continue the next day with the rest of the work, but no \u2013 this will be done while we&#8217;re away in Switzerland. In one sense, this is good. In another, it&#8217;s a bit nerve-wracking.<\/p>\n<p>Our big suitcase left us on Tuesday via Baggageman. Big too big really, but the next size we had was too small. Now we can&#8217;t remember what&#8217;s in the big one. In the afternoon Dot went for a walk with Anne and her grandson Charlie, who is not lacking in confidence. In the evening Judy took us to Cake &amp; Compline at the Archers&#8217;. \u00a0Delightful as always.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Feeling a lot better, though not 100%.
