A new job...
It happened while I was sitting in church on Sunday. I suddenly realised I was ready to return to work, although in a small and very part-time sort of way. The rector and I were both at the cathedral in the afternoon, for the installation of the new Bishop of Thetford. So I crept up to him (the...

We're home!
Never did find another wi-fi station in Western Scotland. Probably would have found many in Glasgow, but we didn't venture that far. Had a great week with excellent weather - bright sunshine, while the most of England was suffering under rain and floods, apparently. Really awful journey home,...

Pirate Pete's
Here I am in Bonnie Scotland, sitting in the adult chill-out zone of Pirate Pete's Play Area while 3-year-old granddaughter charges round like a hyped-up Olympic runner, climbing up and down nets and slides and ropes, sliding down, tumbling over mats, etc. etc. In other words, two hours of perfect...

Hazy days
The last few days have passed in a bit of a haze. Ed's kidney stone is on the move, but it's a slow process and unless he keeps sedated up to the eyeballs, is excruciatingly painful. Consequently, he's been dosing up daily and nightly, and the days have passed in a soporific haze. For him, at any...

A good day out
Ed has been very off colour for the last couple of days. His back is quite a lot better, but he seems to have yet another kidney stone hovering, with attendant agonising pain and gut problems. Still, yesterday he took some massively strong painkillers which knocked him out for the day, then he slept...

The saga continues
Yes, you guessed right. Come Monday morning and Ed said, "Hm. My back feels a lot better today. I think I'll just give it another day and see how it goes..." So no visit to the doctor, and he played golf in the rain yesterday. Tweaking a bit last night - surprise,surprise. Still, he had a good...

Going Japanese
Ed has had a bad back for weeks now, but naturally, does nothing about it since it's always going to get better after a rest. It doesn't. Some days it's easier, but others it's worse. Yesterday, he could hardly get out of bed, he was in such pain. We were due to meet our son and our youngest...

Rain...
My cousin came over on Tuesday, together with her daughter and the daughter's partner. My cousin lives in Wales, and about a month ago we went to Wales and stayed the night with my cousin, in order to play golf with her next morning. It rained. We didn't play. My cousin is staying with her daughter,...

God intentions...
Had a busy weekend with the family over since it was Al's birthday (I made him a cake - this is a first!) Granddaughter was angelic (which made a pleasant change) and we all enjoyed meeting up. I had every intention of blogging yesterday, but felt somewhat low and couldn't raise the energy. The day...

A great day out
We had friends from the rectory area over for the day. "Have you been to Strumpshaw Fen?" they asked. "No, where's that?" "Just round the corner from you. It's an RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) reserve. We'll take you." So we went there for the day, and it was terrific. We took a...
