Henry

Woke 6.30. Light when on loo but nothing on downstairs.  For some unknown reason my Facebook page has been changed to a different format. Why? Blackfriars, St Martin's with Bairstow Save us O Lord, enjoyed Joyce Grenfell on you tube, Henry and Dennis came and we did track, painting, games, picnic - he brought some nice chocolate rice cookies. Ate cheese, oranges, lettuce, celery but not egg or peppers! Liz unpacking large Smithfield meat order so I said "Oh you did not see my text saying I am going vegan?" Maria from CAFOD rang. Quiet time. Lourdes group Mass with Fr Andrew and zoom. Liz had servers council on zoom. Did Caterham music list. Started Christmas letter. 

Wednesday work at 3 I was wrapped in the quilt! Liz had nothing. Blackfriars, St Martin's, zoom with Colette, Maria and Rita and some excellent ideas. Zoom Faith action coffee house Thecla was there from Lewisham. Meditation. Started clearing lounge for tree but knee playing up.  Excellent Gresham lecture on the reformation in England which was unwanted. Had to leave it for a planning meeting which went really well. Too tired to listen to Fr Tom on Black lives matter so had dinner and watched Repair shop. Told Adrian my views on the professionals - we need to sit together as a section. 

Both woke in the night so I made hot milk and sleepy tea drink for me. Blackfriars, St Martin's. Very good zoom with Jane and Chiona. Churches Trust on Christmas ghosts. Evensong from Chichester. Got tree down. LSa zoom went very well apart from Virginia being a pain! LSi institute Oxford on migration with Sarah Teather. Vespers for St Francis Xavier at Belmont. Churches trust lecture by Dr Emma Wells on secular uses of mediaeval churches. Had Shelter service on TV but no sound as St Martin's singers were singing Christmas carols this segued into Lichfield cathedral Advent carols.  Liz felt sick so put her to bed!
