Finished off tar on gutter and roof and no sign of leaks.

To chorus to rehearse music for first "Merlin" recording with Debbie Miles-Johnston. To Victoria to meet Mark and Mariana who is charming and glamourous - pizza express. Very nice!

Wednesday to swim (20) and then to police station to take photos of damaged door of the Escort. Waited 20 minute - only one PC on at first.

It was excellent with a wealth of material. Particularly liked Julian of Norwich quote. Meditated on Matthew 11: 27- 30 in a modern version "Come to me.

I won't lay anything heavy or ill fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly." Eugene H Peterson "The Message" I came up with hymns in response to the hymn "his eye is on the sparrow" - Jesu lover of my soul, Come unto me from Messiah, O come to the waters...
