A very busy as usual. In fact, Sundays now seem to be our busiest day - not the day of rest it is supposed to be. However, as most of our time today was involved with church matters it seemed appropriate busy-ness. We attended Linda Carter's Praise service this morning with Sara leading some of the Junior Church. The service was as inspirational as ever and Linda did a great job. The service was not fully attended by any means and it is disappointing that so many of the normal congregation don't enjoy this type of service. Tom was due to play football at Laverstock at lunchtime today but the match was called off following the massive amount of rain we've had. This left me with some extra time to finalise the arrangements and material for this afternoon's Food for Thought service in the village hall. Sara took Mary for a ballet show rehearsal in Salisbury and Tom stayed with me. I distributed fish fingers for home cooking and cooked 60 myself. At 3 p.m. we all went over to the village hall to prepare for the service. Thanks to fantastic help and support from Linda, Richard, Steve H, Petra, Nicola, Hamish, Cynthia, Rosemary, Gillian, Klynn and Susan the afternoon went really well with over 40 attending. Sara's play about Jonah and the Whale was well received and she is likely to receive commissions to write more such small playlets for the church events. She was very confident with her audience and seemed to be relaxed and enjoying it. We had a few problems with the projector's remote but all in all I think it went well. Hamish made a great Jonah and Susan's whale (pictured above) was wonderful. Mary played the King of Ninevah which she also did with ease and confirm. We then served fish fingers, chips and mushy peas with a substantial number of fish fingers over which Susan, Dawn and us took home to freeze. I returned home quite exhausted. I phoned Mum to ensure she was okay. She had had a lovely but very tiring day with my sister yesterday and her arm was hurting her. I was intending to have an early night when Klynn phoned suggesting a pint in the Lion's Head. I went down there at around 9.40 p.m. and Klynn and Joe C joined me for a couple of pints - returning home at midnight - so much for the early night! A tiring but rewarding day.
