Alan with Dave at the Manor Hotel in Blakeney<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Last Tuesday was \u2013 not bucking the current trend \u2013 very warm.\u00a0 Dot finished painting walls, and I went to Morrisons and bought lots of food. Later cooked salmon. Watched last episode of Guilt<\/em>, which was very well done.\u00a0 In the evening we drove to Golden Dog Lane for DCC, which was a bit trying, despite the Prosecco and fruit salad. I walked home.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wednesday was \u2013 yes \u2013 very warm. Dot went to the Yarmouth school with the brilliant head \u2013 Maria. I switched on Des\u2019s solar power (I think). Watched YouTube of Alan\u2019s funeral service as it happened: all very good. Dot went to the garden centre and bought a huge pot for the front garden and a huge hanging basket for the drive. Erected latter with help from Mark. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the evening we drove to Salthouse for a Private View involving Charlotte Ashenden. Welcomed by Ian Dyble, the vicar, who remembered us from last time (and probably elsewhere – not sure where, but he used to be at St Thomas\u2019s). We\u2019re on the same wavelength. He also paints and writes verse. Also met Charlotte\u2019s husband. Afterwards called in to the upscaled Manor at Blakeney and went to the loo. Beautiful light at Blakeney (not in the loo). Ate mussels at home then watched Ladies in Lavender<\/em>, a film which was surprisingly good.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday was, yes, very warm again. Dot\u2019s school visit was cancelled, so she spent much of the day in the garden. In the early afternoon I walked up to Richer Sounds to ask about replacing my aged, old-style sound system; got a lot of chat from Roger, but nothing all that helpful. Bit disappointed. Bridget came round to clean in the afternoon, and David came around 5.30 to meet her.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday was \u2013 you guessed it \u2013 very warm. Dot and I drove to Bawdeswell Garden Centre and had a snack and cup of tea with Julia Higbee, as well as a discussion about her church, which has problems. After we got home Dot watched Alan\u2019s funeral service, and I watched it again! Then out for street meet – Des and Chris back from Portugal , Mark, John and his eldest daughter; Matthew. Quite hot sun Fish and chips, then watched cricket and football. Former much more exciting. Tired out.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Had a very bad night: started by feeling vaguely sick (though not ill), then had a very heavy stomach, and couldn\u2019t sleep.\u00a0 This made Saturday a very odd day. Also a change in the weather, with much more cloud and even a (very) little rain in the afternoon. This was just after Dot had allocated apace for all of her new plants and cleared up, with a little help from me. Mark has also spent hours (literally) on cleaning his car, and I wrote to Rosemary Town, and sent her a couple of pictures. Also posted the letter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, David had FTd us, and I was able to thank him for a Father\u2019s Day present he\u2019d sent me – an SF book by Ann Leckie called Translation State<\/em>. I enjoyed her previous ones. We had our main meal at lunchtime, I lay on the bed for a while in the afternoon \u2013 may have gone to sleep \u2013 and after tea we watched the Test Match highlights, preceded unintentionally by the Trooping of the Colour highlights.\u00a0King’s Birthday, and all that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
