I understood that Thursday & Friday were going to be very wet.
They weren't!
In fact, yesterday morning was bright & sunny; I went out on my bike, putting up Barn dance posters & visiting friends, whilst all the sheets & towels dried, on the line in the garden.
We had a late bacon & egg breakfast, so skipped lunch - a great time-saver!
I cleared detritus from the dining room & cleaned downstairs, just in time for a meeting of the Holy Land revellers, in there at 7.00pm, with the well-travelled Broad brothers.
All went well, helped along by a couple of bottles of wine (non-vintage, the Tealls arrived half an hour early, so offered drinks.........)
Eventually tucked into cauliflower bolognaise at 9.00pm.
No Internet access & pixilated TV.
Bt came this morning & doubled the broadband speed, apparently.
Now all TV channels are pixilated apart from ITV, which is rubbish, pixilated or not.
G is making do with recorded Goodwood - I shall sit on the central reservation of the M6 tomorrow evening, for some peace & quiet!
I got up early this morning to writ Sunday's sermon - Mark 10 - marriage & divorce.
I've avoided this one by preaching on the epistle reading for the last 23 years.
Remarried divorcees aren't all adulterers after all.
Phew!
I should have tackled it before - another couple of hours needed to finish it, tomorrow.
We went to Brmingham later; had a scrummy lunch in Pret a Manger - "no-bread sandwich", better known as a salad!
PaM is brill - food is always great as is the tea & coffee - even G enjoyed it.
B'ham city centre is the pits.
We went into Rackhams/House of Fraser, which used to be quite special.
It is cheap & tatty, the basement has changed from household, food & cafe to "Big Name Clearance" - like an expensive Primark, but scruffy.
I shall never darken their doors again!
Visited the Jewellery Quarter to look at wedding rings, but no sale.
Leaving the Pitts & off to bed.
They weren't!
