Today would have been Sara's mother's seventy-second birthday and we flew the St. Geoerge's flag in memory. In Salisbury again today to interview two crucial witnesses for the employment tribunal in Exeter at the beginning of July. My colleague from Dorking, Belinda, spent the day with me assisting in the taking of the statements. Once again it was a very full day with just a short break for lunch. On the way into work I made a slight detour through Laverstock to drop off the housegroup material to Maxime as she will be leading the group at her house on Thursday - I shall be attending my first Deanery Synod meeting in Downton and Sara will be preparing the house for the visit of her father and step mother on Friday. I was shocked today to find that a good colleague of mine with whom I have worked closely on claims and been on many business trips with has decided to resign and take early retirement. With Sara leaving in July it is going to get lonelier and lonelier as more and more colleagues and friends depart. Tonight Sara cooked us a family roast chicken dinner after which Tom and I went up to the Rec so he could practice his sprinting. He had a very successful day at school today when the sports master recognized his great running ability - especially long distance - and Tom is keen to progress in his athletics. This is a real talent of his and with perseverance at training and rejoining the Athletics Club he could easily compete at a high level - perhaps even competing in the 2016 Olympics if he gets noticed in the right places. Sara's Dad flies out tonight from Raleigh-Durham Airport to London Heathrow arriving at 6.00 a.m. before he sets off for a few days in Suffolk before visiting us. Tomorrow it's up to Dorking for the first time in ten days.
