Another cold day today - more ice having formed on the top of the water butt at the front. Mary stayed at home with a heavy cold. Warmer but wetter weather is predicted for tomorrow. I had my monthly training meeting with Nils this morning at the earlier time of 10.45 a.m. which lasted for about an hour when we reflected upon what advent means, inwardly, to a Christian - not simply the theological answers that are trotted out. After this, I picked up Sara for the Staff Team Christmas lunch at the Hook & Glove in Farley which was well attended by current staff members as well as quite a few retired clergy and their partners. I had duck parcels, poached salmon and cheese and biscuits and Sara had garlic mushrooms, poached salmon and tiramisu which looked quite heavy as a dessert. The lunch went on quite a bit longer than we had thought and a proposed trip to Tesco had to be postponed in order to get back home in time to be there for Thom. Once again, House Group was held at James's with there being just four of us tonight - myself, James and the two Methodists, Ivan and Duncan. Sara was struggling tonight to try and upload photographs for an album she wants to prepare and send to the USA of the two children's lives so far from birth to the present day. In the end she had to abandon the project as the software simply did not want to oblige. A warmer but wetter night tonight - very dark and miserable. Went to bed at midnight.
