An interesting and varied day today. Hoisted the Thai flag in honour of niece Jessica's birthday. The Thai flag created much interest amongst villagers who did not recognise it. Chris was the only person I met who knew what it was. As a naval man I would have expected that. A commute to the Dorking office first thing for meetings with my staff and general admin work. A clear run on the motorway as usual on a Friday. After a fish and chips lunch returned to Salisbury for another meeting and then back home in time to attend the Alpha Course Supper at the Methodist's Church in Winterslow. Although not as well attended as we had hoped, due to a rival meeting at the Village Hall to discuss the "Village Plan", we had 12 attendees and a superb meal - curry, con carne, vegetarian curry, cold meats, salad and rice not to mention wine and dips in the Team Office before (the Methodists don't allow alcohol to be served on their premises). Elizabeth spoke well - she really is brilliant - and despite the small numbers we all agreed that the course should pick up - it was just a pity that the supper coincided with the big meeting in the Village Hall.
After the meeting it was over to Klynn's for a quick whisky and then to join Chris, Janet and Maggie in the Lion's Head for a glass of wine. Pouring with rain when I left the pub, I had to feel my way back home (not because of the booze before you ask!) because it was so dark and I had forgotten to take a torch with me. Writing up this blog just before midnight with Sara watching Rosemary's Baby on the TV.
