That was March

 


The great thing about March is that we have finished with February!  There are more sunny days, less bitter cold, more looking forward, less moping.

My month started with eight days with the lovely Holly-Dog.  (I have been mis-spelling her name.  Sorry, Holly).  She made me very welcome and has invited me for a few days in May.  

I've had quite a few meals out.  Some time ago I made the decision to reduce the number of times I eat out and so make going out much more of a treat.  This month I have had lunch out thrice and brunch once, as well as a couple of meets for coffee.  

I've been swimming three times.  I'm in a group of five who call ourselves Monday Mermaids.  We are all "ladies of a certain age" and we hire a small private pool for an hour.  It's great.

Jack has been twice and made a start on the garden for this year.  He also came with a friend for afternoon tea and with his son for coffee.  Many years ago I conducted the weddings of both his son and his daughter and it's a real pleasure when I see either of them.  

I've been leading a lot of worship as one (non stipendiary) priest has been away on a cruise and another (stipendiary) has been in hospital.

  3. I'm with you about February, I'm always glad when that month's over and done with. We hardly ever ate out when I was a child, you went out for a meal for a special occasion and that was it, how times have changed. Your Monday Mermaid sessions sound lovely, nice to catch up with friends and have a splash in a pool.

  6. Your gain is our loss! Here in Mew Zealand we are preparing for rain, wind and cold.
    And you are off on a cruise some time are you not? What a lot to anticipate with joy.
