Wednesday.


Cottage in (or near) Thorpe Morieux.

Been a very busy day today. Ann Deaconed, and I read both lessons, at early service. Breakfast then home, after which Ann walked back into town for coffee with friends Sue and Valerie. I did a little work in workshop then changed into funereal garb, took car, picked up senior choir member and drove back to Church, where we met Ann, for funeral (we both sang in choir) at twelve noon of friend Colin (retired Colonel). Sad service; he was only sixty seven. Had heart problems a few years ago. He'd looked much healthier these last few years, and was very active. Died in his sleep a fortnight ago. After service went to British Legion headquarters in town for tea, etc. Ran Margaret home; then home, afternoon nap, light meal, then back into car, picked up young aquaintance Danielle, and took her into Ipwich hospital, where our old friend Roy (who is Danielle's grandfather) had a fairly serious operation last Monday on his private insides (or 'innards' to use the correct medical term). He looked pretty groggy still, but brightened up a bit while we were there. Got home just before nine and both ready for bed now.
Goodnight all.

Just a reminder to send a card...
Robert Louis Stevenson was 160 today.
I used to like his stories, do you know if he's written anything recently?

Probably not. Have you tried Kipling or Rowling?
