the shortest day (but sunny)

i’ve felt too hot for most of the day.  i think it’s because the outside temperature has dropped to the point where the heating in various buildings has been switched on and turned up.

And when the sun’s out it’s still lovely and warm, so a lunchtime walk turned in to a nice adventure over by where the harbour to look at some fishing boats and see where they are doing some excellent building work which should be done by the rugby world cup

meanwhile esther had some tests for her international school competition test things (one was spelling which she reluctantly entered, but found it quite easy).  She did them last year two and it took months to get the results back so hopefully she’ll get something by xmas!

this evening we had our life group.  Jane went and got a new DVD for us to watch from the church office by a chap called Jeff Lucas.  It’s about Jonah (the Whale guy) and the first episode was filmed at the Majeski Stadium in Reading!

I was delighted to see a pile of british bollards in the background at one point.
