We headed off to the Leisure Centre and played a few games of table tennis. I was not on very good form and didn't win any of them. We had more unscheduled rain on the way back, so at least I can ignore watering the garden for a day or two.
Not only did we pick up some soya milk on the way back, but a rather nice cake to celebrate our son's birthday and a drying rack I ordered from John Lewis after seeing it in store yesterday which arrived very promptly this morning.
I had a bit of a scunner of a day as it turned out; J was working from home but sending in voice files every so often, and L was in overdrive. She tends mostly to produce very short tapes - sometimes not even a minute of actual dictation - but brings down three or four at a time with their associated paperwork. At one point I had eight of the bloody things lined up on the floor!
It wasn't helped by the fact that I had to leave early for a routine optician's appointment, but no matter - tomorrow's another day.
Supper was a steak with salads (one of potato and one of tomato-and-avocado).
Having had a busy few days enjoying myself out walking after a few days of being somewhat unwell (all fine now) I'm having a gentler start to today admiring the slow, gentle moving of Kiruna Church . It's taking 2 days to move it 3 miles. I am on tenterhooks to know when it's landed safely on its new site.
Son has headed off home, but not before we had a chance to play a few rounds of one of our favourite board games.
While out and about this morning I bumped into someone from my philosophy group which reminded me I haven't really done much on getting to grips with David Hume, the topic for Friday's meeting. I am now trying to rectify that, but I can't say I particularly warm to him.
How long will it be before they start telling us not to rub it, like Greyfriars Bobby's nose? (I should point out that when I visited Bobby when Scottish Voices were singing in his church, I resisted the temptation to rub his nose, and just had my photograph taken with him).
It's been a cooler, but still quite nice, day here, and it's an absolutely glorious evening; I really ought to go for a little amble.
Work was less fraught today, and I actually Got Everything Done, and left an empty in-floor.
Supper was further salads, because it was quite warm, and I couldn't be bothered to cook.
As today’s weather suited me better, I decided to go out to visit Laxton, England’s last open field farming village ( protected by the Crown Estates) and also the home of the Holocaust Centre. My son happened to be free and drove. Very thought-provoking.
On the way home I spotted the Red Arrows, briefly fanned out in the sky ahead. Strangely, my daughter, who is in Norfolk, saw the whole display over Cromer and took some spectacular photos.
I am still off work, I logged in for a few minutes to clear the emails (still nothing happening) and then did some house admin. Master Heavenly the younger was dismissed from jury duty today. He is a bit disappointed to not get a case and might pop in to the public gallery next week.
