Made it to church (partly)

Walked my run route and a little more
Up and out for walk this morning, and Lisa Watson joined us too.  I walked Beech Road and back, and then my old run route.  I am very happy with how I am getting on.

Katy is NINE
Katy has had her ninth birthday on Herm.  I have spoken with her twice, and she has been bubbly and full of beans.  She opened her present from me, while we were on the phone and said it was "EPIC".  Max could hear her across the room.  Her gift was a baseball bat and ball.  Later in the day she told me that she hit it hard enough that it went behind Jamie's tent.  I guessed she meant it went along way, and said so, and she confirmed this very proudly.  She had pancakes for breakfast, and a BBQ lunch.  She liked her birthday cake, too.  I am very proud of her.  Her conversation is good on the phone.  I missed being with her.  I want Martha and Katy to come home, now. 

I went to church
I have not made it to church for many months.  I decided to go today, however, I have learned about my limitations. The vicar was there, and gave me a big hug, which was very warming.  I made it there very well, but could not stand during the service, and found myself wondering about how long I could stay.  I ended up leaving immediately after communion, and going straight home to bed.  The topic of the service was about how to handle death.  Every reading was about how a different person dealt with death in a different way.  The sermon analysed their approaches. 

Continuing to potter
I have cleared out another drawer of my filing cabinet.  Just one left to do now.  It works very well.  I sit quietly and go through files, and throw into a big pile.  Max comes and takes waste paper to paper bin.

TV
Other than that, I have watch the tele.  I watched the Percy half blood son of Greek God film, which I enjoyed.  Martha and Katy will love it - I have recorded it.  I watched Frasier too - which was fun.

Well done, Helen.  We are all really proud of you.
Good night all
