Sunday.

Another quick pic of Ann's Amaryllis. There are three stalks each bearing four open blossoms. It really is an incredible great plant.
A week or so ago we received an invitation to 'Supper and a Social Evening' in the Church Room at the URC, which took place on Friday evening, and was an unqualified success. It was to thank everyone who had helped to make the Ansell Club Lunches so popular, and their partners. There was a choice of two hot meals (chicken casserole and jacket potato or Chilli Concarne and rice). We both had the chicken -very good it was, too. There were four tables of about eight people each, and four quizzes to be done during the meal. This was a very good idea as we only knew one person well on our table, and discussing quiz questions whilst eating is a good way of breaking the ice. The prizes for the four quiz papers were tickets to the cinema club, and our table won two of them (but by common consent we gave the second ticket to the only table that hadn't won one, so that someone on every table had a ticket. I should have said that there was also a good selection of home made puddings, of which your blogger is ashamed to confess he sampled two. At the end of the evening we walked home feeling that everyone on our table was now a friend. One of them, a young man Tom, is going to call round tomorrow evening to help me sort out a couple of minor problems on this machine. He is a computer technician. Must knock off now, got a couple of 'phone calls to make before going to bed. Goodnight all.
