Sunday

Hi to y'all, Sorry we have not blogged for a day or two but we have just acquired a wireless keyboard and mouse for Junes computer (the one we do all our internet work on) and I couldn't get it to work. Eventually after a whole lot of reading of instructions an'all and juggling about we have got it working okay. Unfortunately our colds are hanging on and June can hardly speak. We were involved in a local Church concert on Friday evening, I played guitar in a sea shanty type outfit, (I was standing in because their guitarist had broken his elbow) I as always did a humerous monologue and sang in the choir. June of course would have sung in the choir but she had no voice (it's been very quiet and peaceful for a couple of days) but she accompanied one of her pupils who sang a couple of pieces, it was a lovely evening. Today has been our family service in Church where we get the children to get involved by reading the lessons, playing their chosen instrument or maybe reciting a poem or even sometimes a dramatised reading involving several children. On this Christmas service we appeal to children who have toys they have finished with that are in good condition to donate them for deprived children in Romania who would otherwise have no Chistmas presents. It is surprising how many toys we get in this way and consequently help in this way. All for now, Grick.

Hello G & J (along with Thomas, Amy, Wendy and Simon):
I hear that Thomas and Amy are with you. Hope you are having a blast!

Right now (10:30 am our time) the girls are at school, Nicki is out meeting with a client and I am at home after an early morning meeting with a client (this also puts me on dog duty:) )

Love to you all.
