Not the best of days to be wearing a cassock and surplice but I was preaching at two separate churches this morning along with Zoe, one of our lay worship leaders, who was to lead the services - one at West Dean and the other at Farley. Not many at West Dean this morning - just 8 of us but Farley was better attended with about 18. I enjoyed the preaching - a good subject - the Good Samaritan the text of which can be found on my other blog page http://pulpitmichael.blogspot.com. It was really pleasant to stand around chatting over coffee in a cool church on such a hot day. The conversations seemed to centre on flying and cricket! After having dropped Zoe back at West Dean to pick up her car I tuned into the radio to find that Australia needed only 46 runs to win but only had one wicket left. By the time I reached home that run requirement had been eroded to just 22. Lunch then occurred and England managed to get the final wicket - thanks to modern technology - with Australia still needing 14 runs to win. what an exciting Test Match this has been! This evening, Richard, David, James and I took part in a poorly attended Pub Quiz at the Lion's Head. With such little competition (only two other teams) we won comfortably again. Still very warm as I walked home and had difficulty in sleeping again tonight.
