Ploughman's Lunch

Thom had his drama examination today and was feeling quite nervous as he left for school.  He has to give a 4 minutes presentation of a monologue he has written and has chosen a piece about a young kid from a deprived area who has been given a chance to better his life by being offered a place in an American Football Team.  A good piece.  He later came home to say that he felt he had done well and some of his peers remarked that they thought his was the best monologue of the 30 which were given.  This morning, I accompanied Sara to a meeting of the Winterslow Lay Pastoral Assistants at Cynthia’s.  This was after a false start as Sara had thought it was taking place at Dennis Barnes’ house where he has a garden party this afternoon in aid of the purchase of a new chasuble for All Saints.  After the meeting, Sara was working at the Lord Nelson and with our kitchen out of action (the builders are here for a third day today) I had a ploughman’s lunch in that pub.   I worked in the study this afternoon filing some important documents with Companies House and writing some letters.  It is not easy to work with all the disruption from the kitchen.  The builders left at around 5 p.m.  A quite night in this evening watching a documentary on the History of the World with Andrew Marr.  Went to bed at 11 p.m. but found it hard to sleep – Sara’s snoring has kept me awake so I am writing up this blog at 2 a.m.!
