The Archdeaconry Service on Thursday night was good; the Archdeacon preached a very good sermon and the Cathedral was packed. There was a bit of confusion over who had been elected Churchwarden at St. Matthew’s which perhaps has not yet been settled. I may say more about this later.
Friday HWMBO woke up in more pain than he had been experiencing previously from his tooth extraction, so we called Kings at 9 am and they advised him to come in. We returned there and the verdict was that the extraction site was infected, so they gave him amoxicillin. He’s still mostly eating soup and soft stuff, but I think the pain has abated and he’s speaking normally. So that’s good. However, it pretty much has made the weekend a drab affair.
Yesterday was the Mayesta (church fair) at St. John’s Larcom Street, where I often preach on Sundays. It never actually poured, but it was stubbornly sodden all day, with mist one minute, small droplets the next, and no rain the next, repeat all afternoon. I was on the door and I think about 200 people attended, which was good. As to how much money they made, I’m sure it was respectable but perhaps not as much as last year. We all had fun, though.
Today we had a confusing day at church, of which perhaps more later. It’s cool, but sunny. Now it’s rest and relax, gym later on this afternoon, and perhaps I’ll mow the lawn again. *sigh* The life of a country bumpkin.
