Sunday.

Last night's supper - salmon steak fried in a little olive oil, ratatouille (spelling probably only an approximation), potatoes, and runner beans from the garden.

Sunlight and a stormy sky yesterday evening.

Went to morning service - choir not required so sat in congregation, towards the back. Shared a pew with lady we'd not met before who had a son with her- seven or eight I'd guess, but quiet and well behaved, who shook hands very correctly in the peace. Worst of being in the choir- tend not to meet new people much. Still, now the choir is only being used two Sundays in the month, we'll meet more people in church.
This evening we were invited to Liz and Bob's for 'drinks at six'. We'd met them around the area over the last few years, but not been to their home. The invitation 'drinks in the evening' can vary a good deal in meaning, but this time various nibbles were served (don't mean crisps and peanuts, but smoked salmon on brown bread, prawns on biscuits, etc.),   followed by strawberries and cream, so that, together with a couple of glasses of a very decent dry sherry, it turned into the equivalent of a light evening meal. We thoroughly enjoyed it, and agreed on the way home that we must ask them back here to lunch soon. Clocks are striking ten now, and Ann's just gone up - So - Goodnight, dear readers.
