Wednesday morning, I celebrated the midweek Eucharist, chatted to people for a while at the coffee morning afterwards, but didn't hang around too long in case the plumber returned, which he didn't. Later I learned that he'd turned up without notice while I was out at church. Thank goodness the chaplaincy house has the luxury of two bathrooms!
At the end of an afternoon of waiting, I walked into town, and visited the fun fair on my return trip, to take some photographs. Children had a school holiday on Tuesday, but after school for the rest of the week, many will dress up and go out with their parents to socialise in the fun fair and queue in large numbers for the fearsome rides. You'll find some photographs here.
Thursday, I drove to Coin to celebrate their Harvest Eucharist. After the service we had a bring and share lunch on the terrace outside the church. A member of the congregation had baked a special Harvest Loaf in the shape of a wheatsheaf, with an interesting bread recipe using porridge oats and white flour, as an experiment. It turned out to be very tasty, and I was pleased to have a portion of it to bring home for supper. On return, no sign the plumber had been, and no message, but I waited in anyway - just in case.
