A day without any appointments at last - except for the House Group this evening. Thursdays have now been designated our "day off" and so Sara and I decided to use it to clean and tidy the house - first of all completing the construction of Mary's desk/dressing table which Sara had succeeded in putting together other than the last few pieces which entailed fitting the top on the pedestals, adjusting the door on one of these and fitting the drawers on the other. This required some "spacial awareness" to understand IKEA's diagrams. I was pleased to be able to complete the task using proper tools and now Mary has a usable desk. Sara and I cleaned our bedroom in preparation for the visit of her brother Adam and sister-in-law Lin, who should be arriving for one night on Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately because of the need to look after the children in their care from Thailand their time with us is now severely restricted and they will have to return on a very early train on Sunday morning. So we will hardly see them. We still hope to meet up with Natasha and her family for an evening meal at the Hampton Inn in Salisbury. I also, today, washed all the windows outside and cleaned some of the fascia boards at the same time. It was quite hot at the rear of the house today and we seem to be experiencing a real Indian summer. Tonight we had a small number of House Group - six of us - and we continued our exploration of Hebrews. We also reflected on how useful people found house groups and whether the style I have adopted meets their needs. This reflection will be very useful for my LLM module. Sara attended Test Vallet School this evening with Thomas to discuss the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme and work experience placements - both of which will take place this academic year.

Housework and House Group
