Hazy sunshine today, warmer too 22C. Despite getting up late I had a decent night's sleep. Still, it's hard to shake off tiredness after such an intense active week. I cooked the usual Saturday pancakes for breakfast and Clare came down to eat with me, but returned to bed afterwards, being unable to get comfortable and relax with the pain.
After we'd eaten and I'd tidied the kitchen, a quick food shopping trip, then it was lunchtime. I had a brief report to send, before I could start cooking a lentil, veg and rice dish for our meal. Mother Siân, curate of Fairwater emailed me to ask if I could celebrate the Parish Eucharist there on 21st of this month. I was delighted to be asked, as it's the 55th anniversary of the first time I presided at the Eucharist in Saint Andrew's Church Penyrheol. Coincidentally it'll be St Matthew's Day again on that Sunday.
Rhiannon and Talyaan her boyfriend posted photos on WhatsApp of their new apartment in Manchester. Kath and Anto have moved their belongings there this weekend. Now Kath and Anto are empty nesters!
I went for a walk in Thompson's park after a siesta. Half of the big pond is now clear of the green algae that has covered the surface this past few months. I wonder if it's a result of the influx of fresh rain water from recent cloudbursts diluting whatever it is that causes the stuff to grow in the first place? As Owain is coming to visit his Mum and spend the night with us, I went to the Co-op to buy some more vegetables, and then cooked him a special chicken, chorizo and beans dish for supper. I took Clare's salad supper up to her in bed. She's experiencing a lot of oain at the moment and needs to lie low.
Owain arrived at seven bearing a bunch of roses for his Mum and a bottle of excellent Languedoc red wine to share. We chatted over the meal, then watched a Canadian crimmie together. Eventually, I left him watching and took myself to bed.
