Fresher today but still very warm. We didn’t robe for church this morning. All a bit chaotic with another visiting priest who didn’t seem to know what he was doing. Very long sermon too, mostly full of anecdotes.
Our clergy / readers only robe for the early morning communion but chose not to because of the heat. They looked rather mismatched as the retiree with PTO opted for suit and clerical collar while our rector was more casual with open necked shirt and no jacket.
I hope you had a lovely sleep in your new bed, @Piglet.
Mt mother was at an Open Gardens Village event last week, mrs whibley. There were bicycle rickshaws to transport people with mobility issues. I was ricocheted all over the place my mother told me.
We had a lovely day yesterday. Church was lay-led. One of those leading the service explained at the start that she was struggling as her dog had just been pts, and if her voice started breaking, that would be why. But I am here, and God is with me she said. The sympathy of the congregation was palpable. The sermon, delivered by the other lay leader, was excellent but superfluous after that simple statement of faith.
In the afternoon a fortuitous downpour put paid to my plans to get the grass cut.
In the evening we went out to dinner with friends we had not seen since before lockdown.
Fresh, and occasionally somewhat cloudy, in Arkland the Draughty, with a top temperature of just 72F for today and tomorrow - back up to 80F on Wednesday...
Lunch is TINNED SALMON n'CHIPS. With BREAD n'BUTTER.
Feeling a little seedy and headachy for some unknown reason, I'm taking things even more quietly than usual today, prior to Pilates tomorrow.
So far today I've cleaned the loos, done a pile of ironing, walked to a friend's house with a pile of clothes and been filmed by my husband for a video he's making. The clothes drop off was for a 'swish' on Friday. The idea being you have a party and swap clothes you no longer want for things that someone else doesn't want but you might. I'm away from tomorrow till Friday afternoon so my friend is taking them in for me. The video is for a charity that helps people make their homes more energy efficient. I had to chat about the report we'd been sent. My one conclusion so far is I need to go on a diet as I don't look at all like I would want to.
The rest of the day I'm not doing much, though I do need to crack on with some knitting and I promised to cook the tea as my husband is out at a Churches Together meeting tonight.

One hopes the salmon was (?were) removed from the tin before consumption ...
