I slept well last night - these cooler nights certainly help. Today Sara had an appointment with the doctor at 8.30 a.m. and I had to be in the office in Salisbury early too. I cooked a breakfast of black pudding and sauteed potatoes and hoisted the Saints flag on the pole to celebrate Southampton FC's salvation. Later in the day, further good news came when I heard that Saints captain and goalkeeper, Kelvin Davis, had decided not to move on to West ham but was going to sign up for a further three years with Southampton. As the Player of the Season last year this is indeed excellent news for the Saints. Further news was that the current Head Coach, Wotte, was sacked as the new owners want to find a more experienced manager to lead the squad. Things really are looking hopeful now. I spent the day in the Salisbury office with two long teleconferences and a meeting with Serena to discuss policy issues. I lunched with two managers from our Customer Services Dept. (an Indian Curry meal). I thought how strange it is going to be soon to come to the Salisbury office and find no Sara! Tonight we had our usual House Group - Steve, Ivan, Sara and Dawn. Klynn has visitors and Max is on holiday hence the numbers were down. We discussed the topic of questioning our faith and the dilemma of God's plans for our lives versus our free will. It was not a dilemma which we could easily solve and no doubt will require quite a bit of theological research. In the test match, England received a thumping today. In reply to England's 435 all out, the Aussie batsmen made 249 for 1 by close of play. With rain predicted on Saturday it looks like a draw is now the best England can hope for.

Saints Captain stays; Head Coach goes
