Big girl bed
Went into Cambridge today and bought a quilt and pillow (and, for later, a duvet) for Jo. She got to ride on a bus, which made her happy, and we went to Chili's, where the staff were fantastic with Jo, and the food OK too: we'll go back.When we got back, I chose some hymns for the service I'm taking tomorrow (0930 at Stambourne church - feel free to pop round). I'm really bad at choosing hymns, and it wasn't helped by the fact that I'd not yet decided what to preach about. I have now: militaristic language in church - good or bad? Or other, obviously. So, I just chose hymns that I like and that I think other people will know and like.
Did some gardening - Moo bought some plants last weekend, if you remember - and we cleared some space. Jo got to see: slugs; snails; spiders (various types); a centipede; a caterpillar; several frogs; and some beetles. So she was happy again.
She took around an hour to get to sleep tonight in her new bed (the cot we bought can be converted to a bed, and I made the changes this afternoon). Not an unmitigated sucess.
"Christian, dost thou see them
On the holy ground?
How the troops of Midian
Prowl and prowl around?
Christian, up and smite them,
Counting gain but loss;
Smite them by the merit
Of the holy cross."
Great favourite of Bertie Wooster
