Yet Another Meal
Had yet another meal at the Half Moon today. That’s three in less than a week, but don’t go thinking that I’m always in the pub. I’m not. Honestly.
Today was the over-sixties lunch, provided free for all over sixties in the village by a local charity. Fortunately it’s a very small village.
So today we had Christmas dinner – turkey and all the trimmings, a drink to start and wine with the lunch, followed by Christmas pudding. We pulled our crackers, laughed (for yet another year) at the same cracker jokes and wore our paper hats. It was great. I really enjoyed it.
Had to leave early to dash to the next village for the first TFT session. It turned out to be half TFT (Thought Field Therapy – involves a lot of tapping and thinking) and half EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique – I think. May have got that wrong. Don’t quote me.)
Have to confess I was unconvinced, but have an open mind so will reserve judgement and go again next time.
Had to cancel tonight’s Deanery Synod (I’m Acting Rural Dean at the moment because the proper Rural Dean is off sick) because of the snow. Not that it’s particularly thick round here, but it’s going to freeze tonight and I couldn’t see many people (almost all are well over sixty) driving very far. Well developed sense of responsibility, me. And, it has to be admitted, no wish to venture out after dark in weather like this.
When it snows in the UK we happily grind to a standstill and it remains a talking point for months.
Well, it is called ‘The Old Country’.
