Rehearsal

Swam 20 and even tried some front crawl and butterfly - water 3 degrees warmer! To Our Lady of the Annunciation Addiscombe for the funeral of Iris Connolly - good turnout and a good sendoff. Church has been painted and looks good. Gill beach was there but made little effort to speak to Liz. Into the hall while the family went to the crem. Nice lunch and lo and behold Fr Joe sat at our table while we were getting lunch so I just chatted and he was OK! He has not spoken to me for 10 years and it really is time he did!  Long chat to Melvyn and Neva about India. To Heythrop and Liz had her interview about the essay - she sent the wrong one in so it is now sorted. I went to talk by bishop on Ukranian Catholic church - I dropped off. Bruce was there. To cathedral for rehearsal for ordination - waste of time as we are consecration torches. Brian was very enthusiastic about Holy Rood Watford. Watched The Apprentice and long chat to Ann on Skype - they fly to Dubai tonight 15 hour flight.
