BCP Eucharist and Pub Quiz

As there was no service at All Saints today I decided to visit West Grimstead for the Morning BCP Eucharist which was taken by Elizabeth.  Only a handful of people there today and it has been many years since I took the Eucharist under the BCP liturgy - even at Old Clee we only ever took it once a month.  After the service (there was no coffee this morning) I drove to Salisbury railway station to purchase my Travelcard for my trip to London tomorrow - I shall be there all day trying to sort out a probate dispute.  We ate roast chicken for lunch which brought more tears as we remembered how Emily would sit at the table for her favourite food - chicken.  It seems incredible that only a week ago today she was pestering us for roast pork.  It seemed so strange to be scraping the leftovers into the bin rather than picking off the chicken to give to her.  How we still miss her. Mary lit a candle on her grave as she remembered her mealtime antics.  Molly came round with Sarah this afternoon to pay their condolences and respects and stayed most of the afternoon.  I discussed church matters with Sarah as she may join the PCC.  Tonight it was the monthly pub quiz and so I joined James and Richard at the Lion's Head.  We were in the lead throughout the evening until the very last round - which was a picture round showing modern day celebrities as children.  We scored 2 out of 28 which resulted in us losing the quiz by only 4 points - which shows just how far ahead we were.  Apparently one team scored 19/28 in that round! Mary is still not sleeping and still upset about Emily.
