As soon as the children had gone off to school this morning, Sara and I set off for the gym where we each put in about 45 minutes of strenuous exercise. We arrived back home about ten minutes before Richard arrived for our agreed game of golf at Wilton. After a quick mug of coffee, we set off and played 13 holes. My game was a bit erratic but I did seem to be getting much better distances off the tee and was hitting the ball fairly straight. My chipping left much to be desired though. I can never quite get all the elements of the game to come together at the same time! We discussed the agenda for the PCC and our concerns for the appeal of the church to younger people in the future. We ate a late lunch of fish and chips at the Bishopsdown pub where there was an offer of two meals for £10 which they serve all day. Good value. Sara did her normal stint at the Lord Nelson's Arms today but our golf would have made it too late to eat there. Tonight, Sara went off to Wilton herself to do a makeover for some teenage girls who were having a photo shoot. This could be a very good "little earner" for her and is more profitable than the parties. John H called for me at 5.30 p.m. and we went off to Chippenham to attend the Wiltshire Provincial Directors of Ceremony and Secretarys' Annual Meetings where we receive feedback on how the lodges have done this year and receive suggestions and directions as to how we do things consistently. A most informative meeting but more so, it was a great opportunity to mix with some old friends and contacts from across the Province. A group of masons from Wiltshire are proposing to walk up Mount Kilimanjaro in February and I have been asked to join them if I wish. I will need to think about it. Fitness and stamina will be needed and it could be a good incentive to get fit.
