A lot of people in church this morning - perhaps it was the extra hour in bed that got them all moving? Max played rugby this morning and his team was soundly beaten but at least he had a free lunch which seemed to compensate him a little!
Georgi decorated a small cake with chocolate spread and wallnuts - it looked good.
Waldo Emerson 19c said, 'Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could
Some blunders might have crept in; forget them as soon as you can.'
He also said: 'Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely.' I go for that.

Clocks back tonight. Bad news: I do not like the long dark nights. Good day today. I had a long swim this morning then coffee and a short rest before lunch and out to head a tour; met some interesting people as usual.
Watched 'Strictly Come Dancing' tonight; the costumes were weird (even on Halloween Night), the music didn't seem to match the dances and Anne Widdecombe has become a BIG JOKE that's not funny any more. I hated it. Kids in bed insisting they will be up at the crack of dawn - I don't think so.

Horrid day today, high winds and torrential rain. Our tree in the front garden looks as though it is on the point of falling over - it's leaning dangerously; but thankfully even if it goes to ground it is in a position that will not harm
anything or anyone except perhaps for one of the many cats who use our garden as their public toilet. Cats,
though with their sixth sense rarely get into any kind of danger from falling items - they are too sharp by far.
Georgi and I made a lemon drizzle cake today which is a huge success and is disappearing rapidly - mainly into Georgi's tummy!

Wednesday
Decided to take Max and Georgi into town this afternoon - I did suggest we all went to the garden centre and I still can't believe they refused to go! It is strange taking a teenage boy to the shops as no matter what he looks at he never wants to buy anything (perhaps because we didn't go to PC WORLD). His sister on the other hand wants to buy something from every shop - you can never have enough of anything and she constanty bemoans having to live without whatever catches her eye. I am a mixture of the two of them - I want everything and buy nothing.
I am looking forward to the cricket from Oz in a week or so but however much I insist I will listen to the comentaries live - I know that I won't. It will be all second hand news for me.

Just watched a programme about young people and the ever serious problem of drug taking.
It doesn't reall matter if you take drugs in the privacy of your own home involving no one but yourself.
You are still ensuring that an industry based on exploitation, fear and murder is perpetuated and
prospers. Perpetuated by YOU.

Monday
Beautiful bright, sunny day. Took a £50 note out with me to buy a few things for the kids and spent it in the first shop! Jeans, boots, shoes and a pair of pyjamas and lo I had to top it up.
It made me a bit cross today to read in the paper that Bristol City Museum , Manchester University Museum and others had covered up their display of unwrapped mummies and removed an Iron Age bog body and a skeleton of a child with rickets and 'Seventeen other museums are becoming increasingly nervous about displaying ancient human remains.' Apparently a small group from the Pagan Organisation Honouring the Ancient Dead have complained. Perhaps other people remember when we ceased to live in a free country.

Sunday
Very cold today when I came out of church and was waiting for the bus - I thought I didn't have time for coffee
so went straight to the bus stop - guess what? the wretched bus was 5 minutes late....time for two coffees.
Lots of folk from the congregation had arranged to go walking in the woods: I might have joined them but unlike me they were all ready with a change of clothes and footwear. I noticed that not one of the would be hikers was a day under 50+ but as someone once said - 'being 'over the hill' is much better than being under it".
I agree entirely.
