Wednesday.

Snapshot of XVth century moated manor house a few miles from us, hidden among the back lanes. Got up early this morning for early morning service, held in a retired (or realisticly- semi retired) priest's home. She is having great difficulty getting about, and asked if the early communion service could be held in her home. She took the service. It worked well- not sure if that's the correct expression but I'm sure you'll know what I mean to express.
Pottered in workshop this morning (fairly successfully), then walked into town to have a snack lunch in the United Reform Church's Room - a new departure - snack lunch is available for £2.50, the original idea was to provide a good lunch for the elderly but these new 'snack lunches' are available to anyone. I had a 'cheddar cheese ploughman's lunch', Ann had a baked potato with tuna mayonnaise filling, both with salad, and tea or coffee is included in the price. A great many of our friends attended. The general feeling was that this is going to be a great assett to the town, and the Church Ladies say they are making a profit for the Church, so it's all to the good.
After lunch changed into workshop scruff and got stuck into a grandfather clock movement whose strike system needs repair. Needs several minor repairs. The one that had been bothering me most (a broken off securing pin which was so small I could hardly see either end) yeilded to treatment more easily than I had hoped - drilled it out. Movement is now back together, and I'll get stuck into rest of problems in the morning (D.V.) Going to knock off now before I start making mistakes. Good night all.
