Rat infested sheds and surprising new glasses

The disturbing thing about blogging is when people like Tom can actually tell you better than you can remember yourself exactly what you have been doing and even what you will be doing in the near future. Actually, I suppose it could potentially prove quite useful...

A quick run down of recent events before I do a bit of (paid :-)) work for my Dad...

I can't remember too much happenign on Sunday other than that I once again cooked Sunday lunch and went for a fairly wet walk with my sister and her Andy.

This morning a load of us from St Peter's bundled down to a local infant school to do a bit of social action. For most this meant painting bits of the playground, that sort of thing. For myself, Alec and Andy, this meant clearing out a rat infested shed full of nursery toys. Nice. Anyway, it was good fun, and its exciting to see opportunities for getting involved in serving the community opening up at home for good old St Pete's. Long may it continue.

This afternoon I went with Madre not only to buy some brilliant new trousers (brilliant because this means I can now have the joy of wearing trousers without any holes in - and also because she cery kindly paid for them ;-)) but also to buy some new glasses. After a lot of deliberation with the very friendly woman at the opticians, we (I feel she would want me to acknowledge her part in the decision, particularly when she took so much time and trouble to tell me about the exploits of her children and so on) eventually chose two pairs, one of which I think may surprise people (hopefully pleasantly) when they see me wearing them, but I shall find out when I get them on Monday. Despite myself, I can't wait!
