The weather remained cold and overcast this morning with
some drizzle. I hoisted the Union flag to half-mast in memory of Baroness
Thatcher and then, after breakfast, completed my application form to become a
volunteer chaplain for the homeless charity, Alabare, after speaking first to
my two lay referees I then drove into
Salisbury to deliver the application pack to their offices and also to bank
some cheques. I treated myself to a
coffee in Café Nero before returning home via the Lord Nelson to see Sara. Whilst in town I met Andrew (our curate) and
his wife Sarah and Andrew told me how he has osteo-arthritis in both his knees
and welcomed me to the club. This
afternoon I worked on the service I am taking at West Dean in Sunday and also
wrote my sermon based on the commissioning of St. Peter and St. Paul. I finished my sermon at 8.00 p.m. just in
time to stroll (or hobble) down to the Lion’s Head for a chat and a few jars
with Richard.
