 We had a superb night out at Clonter Opera competition last night although it was the first time in all the years we have attended the competition that the winner wasn't either our first or second choice and I thought both selected by the audience and panel were not logical decisions and I know that all our table also shared my bafflement. The runner up I thought may have been recovering from The Bug and is probably much better than it came over the actual winner was so out on a limb as to make it laughable not that they weren't all good singers but it was just so unexpected. The meal was good although it's annoying that you have to take your own nibbles for pre-performance drinks when the meal is quite expensive and the wine has crept up yet another £1. Beware biting the hand that feeds you is all I could think. It was an early start after a late night for the 8am BCP service which can be quite a depressing affair then home for breakfast, Sue left to return home then back to St Oswalds for the 11am family communion service which requires a change of attire to look sufficiently church wardenly! Then a chance to catch up on the DVD orders and got some clips of trucks in Australia to load on our Youtube channel which although not doing badis a bit in the doldrums perhaps it will do better when I vanish Tuesday for a couple of weeks in Asia. Mid afternoon it was time to head to Over Peover and Messy Church for our sister church St Lawrences where we were yet again blessed by continued trends of upward growth and I think after our teething troubles last month we felt more organised and confident, Jane had to dash back to St Oswalds and leap back centuries in liturgy for another BCP delivery. Tomorrow is the last Ministry foundation session before the half term, hence my trip then to Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. Here are some shots at Messy Church appreciate, lively and engaged throughout. The humble Robin seems a seasonable addition to my garden bird survey, it has been rewarding day for birds.
