Yet another scorching hot day. I walked to church this morning for the Harvest Festival service which was attended by quite a number of pupils, teachers and parents from Winterslow Primary School. Sara stayed at home with Tom. It was a short service with Elizabeth leading it with readings and prayers from a number of the pupils. By the time I walked home it was getting really quite hot. I mowed the back lawn this afternoon whilst Sara and Mary (whom she picked up at Sophie's) went to IKEA in Southampton to get a dressing table/desk for Mary's new bedroom. I rang Mum this afternoon for a brief chat. She is still suffering after the fall she had in York. I spent the rest of the afternoon reading my theological reflection text book. Tonight Sara went to Whiteparish to attend the BCP Evensong to support Sophie who was leading her first service as a trainee Lay Woshsip Leader. It was not well attended, apparently, and Sara did not enjoy the BCP format at all - this was the first time she had ever attended one as she had been a Roman Catholic at the time BCP was prevalent in the Anglican church. It still uses 1662 language which, whilst poetical, is difficult for those not used to this style. Tonight Richard and I met at the Lion's Head to discuss the format for the Calendar Girls' Pub Quiz next Sunday.
