BUSY ISN'T THE WORD FOR IT

We had a splendid time at the Arch Deacons visitation service last night at St Thomas's in Stockport and after getting back home a quick change and we were down at the Golden Pheasant where they have two quite different seasonal ales on although neither would surpass a pint of their standard MPA. It was quiet there but a pleasant sunset after a mixed weather day. Well it's the end of a working week dfor some poeople although for me they are all very similar, busy all the time. After getting Mandy up to speed again downloading the DVD orders we got the post sorted while Mandy went on to a telephone interview with the solictors regarding the case against Leighton Hospital  for the damage resulting from a two year wait for a relatively straight forward operation. I went off to St Oswalds for the toilet on site meeting, the build is getting towards its rather delayed end at last and when I get back from Croatia Mandy is coming down on the Tuesday after bank holiday to assist with the placement of access stones to the disasbled toilet.I also took a heap of books for the summer fete and came back with another load later, there was a funeral which delayed me a little.

I also did yet another tweak on the bell tower access step with a side trip to Morreys at Holmes Chapel to get some Gorilla tape and then to our treasurers house at Plumley to drop off a builders valuation cert for payment. All this with a bit of editing including the Taunton running day and Birkenmhead trips sees me about ready to load clips to Youtube. We are having our Sunday roast dinner tonight as it's Rogation Sunday and we have food lined up for the evening at the school after the Rogation service. Keith is with his daughter for her birthday Sunday so I'll be officiating on my own as as my first fully sworn in day as Churchwarden. Tomorrow I hope to do some work in the garden and then in the evening we have the spring opera gala at Clonter, also booked the end of term concert at the Bridgewater hall for the RNCM, a drinks reception in the interval with the principle Linda Merrick. We are eating there for the first time, I imagine it costs a bit more than at Brodsky's in the college but will be interesting to see how it pans out. I've checked in for the Zagreb flight Monday and for the return, we'll probably sort the Sarajevo flight check in locally. Here is a couple of shots of St Thomas's church in Stockport Grade 1 listed like ourselves and a whole lot of structure to look after.
