Warm today, but overcast with a few light showers, but sunshine later in the day. We went to the Eucharist at St Catherine's where Andrew Sims, preached his valedictory sermon. He'll no longer be a regular worshipper in the parish as he starts ordination training at St Padarn's in September. He's already a relaxed public speaker, and he delivered a sermon that was both a personal reflection on a major change in his life after fifteen years as a member of the St John's congregation, and a reflection on two of the three scripture readings for the day. I think he's going to enjoy his two years of study and training.
Afterwards, a bring and share buffet lunch took place at St John's in their honour. About a hundred people took part. Clare went straight there. I popped home first to collect a few books I thought might interest him at some time in the future. I arrived just after Clare had sat down, keeping a place for me at table with Paula, Clive, Hilary, Bill and Sally. Andrew and his partner Martin have been mainstays of St John's congregation. They'll be greatly missed. It was almost three by the time we got home. After a cup of coffee I recorded and edited Morning Prayer for three weeks hence, then walked in Llandaff Fields for an hour and a half. After supper I made the audio into a video slideshow. I've now got two videos ready to upload eventually. Before bed I watched a couple fo episodes of French Canadian spy thriller series 'Classified'.
