The DIY begins!

A quiet day at home today. Molly and Mary took themselves off to school on their own today and Sara and I spent the morning in DIY mode removing the old curtain rail in the dining room and replacing it with a new wooden pole. The result was spectacular with the curtains being pulled further to the sides of our French windows and giving the dining room added light. Sara tidied up the whole of the dining room (we have guests for dinner on Saturday night) and I sorted out some old books - mainly John Grisham novels and football yearbooks - to donate to the church's book sale on Saturday morning. Sara went into Salisbury to have lunch at the Fisherton Mill with Jan(et). I walked up to the school to pick up Mary at 3 p.m. and played some darts with Tom in the garden with his new dartboard which I had prepared for hanging on the shed. Tonight we had our usual house group - Ivan, Duncan, Paul, Richard and Klynn this evening. We discussed the gifts of the Holy Spirit and Klynn stayed behind for his usual additional spiritual experience.
