What are you all up to

Hope that your wife's operation goes well, robsail, for the sake of both of you.

Best wishes for your OH's appointments , millie.

Glad to see that you've made it away this time WN.

For the first time since we came to live here, 30 years back, we did not attend the service at the local war memorial.  We had intended to go  but when we came out of the house we found it was raining heavily.

With OH still not feeling too great, still coughing and sore sinuses, we decided that standing in the cold and wet was not a good idea.

I have to say, that in almost 40 years as organist at Polesworth Abbey, this year was the first year I didn't go out to the Memorial in the middle of our service.  It is usually so crowded, and as I'm usually the last one out of church, it was just too much of a 'fight' for me to try and get to where the choir were, in order to lead the National Anthem outside.  It meant negotiating wet grass, uneven ground and negotiating graves in the graveyard in order to get to the right place.  After having recently had a knee replacement, I wasn't going to risk life and limb, so I 'delegated' this year!  At least it meant I could get things ready in church for when folk came back in for the second half of the service after the outside bit!

After a few days away ,its now back to reality and work 

still, only 7 weeks before we are away again 

Was up at first light this morning to take OH's car in for its MOT. AS it was just the MOT, I waited and spent a riveting hour reading the Club magazine.

Delighted  to  hear  that  you  were  fit  enough  to  be  the  Organist  at  the  Service  David,  and  the  'break'  in  the  middle  would  give  you  time  to  get  your  second  wind  if  nothing  else.

Huskypup,  you  really  are  getting  into  the  " Retirement  Mood "  but  can you / will  you  keep  it  up  thro'  the  years  to  come  ?  If  so  could  you  tell  us  the  supplements  required please,  .  And  I  really  don't  mean  those from  the  Sunday / Funday  papers 

CY,  hope  that  that  was  the  only  "Riveting"  concerned  in  your  stay 

We have now moved on from our w/end "big meet up",nice to be on a club site again instead of the comercial "holiday park"where it was  (although "updated"?) could learn from either club how it should be done

Not a good day today here, wet and windy once again, lights been on for most of the day.

OH been busy up in the attic again, he has to take it a bit at a time as its very tiring on the arms and shoulders. A trip to the skip to get rid of the rubble + a stop off at Aldi to pick up a few things.

I've been busy in the house sorting out more draws and cupboards, really getting into this 

Had a day off from the car by going into Warwick to visit the castle and St.Marys church, still bedecked with thousands of poppies. Lovely sunny morning.

Got back af 3 pm. 15 minutes later we had a thunderstorm with hailstones. Chap in a M/H decided to wait until it started to get an aquaroll full of water.  He was in when we arrived back. I can only assume his M/h has been drained.

Well at the weekend we were up on Hadrian's wall and now we're back home, did manage to call in and see son and family in their new home. It was wonderful to see all those packing cases up there and not down here....
