Church visitor

At St Catherine's Parish Eucharist this morning, Archdeacon Peggy Jackson was the celebrant. The last time we saw her was at the Millennium Centre during the interval at 'La Forza del Destino' I was saddened that the half term weekend drastically reduced numbers of parents and children in church. We were nearer three dozen instead of five dozen souls, as is usual. I made a point of saying this to her at the end. We'd like her to have a good impression of the Parish, now that recruitment for an new Team Rector is about to start in earnest.

In the afternoon, a visit to the St David's hospital wound clinic, and another walk, this time not so energetic, just in Thompson's Park, and more photos. The place is alight with the colours of crocuses, snowdrops and assorted daffodil varieties, even more so than a few days ago. Such a delight, and in this milder spell of weather, lots of families and dog walkers enjoying not having to go far to have a good time.

Already tonight, I finished the last episode of 'Greyzone', a well crafted dramatic account of the complex issues moral and practical involved in anti-terror espionage, as well as some thoughtful allusions to the ethical debate about the boundary between military and civilian use of technology. More of this time come I suspect.
