A Bible and a bottle of stout

Posted in Family, friends and Church

'Tis I again.

Thanks for the comment DeeDee, it's nice to know I was missed.

I haven't time right now for my planned blog on stuff with a cover on (watch this space) as I'm planning a trip into Darlington in search of a Bible as a Baptism gift. Yes, H is to be baptised on Sunday! That's just two days before the anniversary of my own baptism.

I do hope he remembers to get to his baptism class tonight! Last week he went and couldn't see anyone around so he set off for home, missing the fact they'd moved to another room. That one needs prayer - too easy for it to go by the wayside because it makes it harder to go back.

I have a few other 'musts' for my list today. I'm going for coffee and to collect a bottle of stout from my friend. One of those odd consequences of being in a Bible study group: I'm sure there are enough stories to write a whole series of books of anecdotes entitled 'Things I learned in Bible Study': it wouldn't necessarily have anything biblical at all between the covers! Our group was sharing prayer requests and my friend gave thanks that she had made all her Christm,as puddings on Sunday, and when we'd all finished exclaiming in admiration (none of us has got that far yet) she told us how she'd asked her son to buy the stout for the recipe (he's in his fifties, by the way, she wasn't leading a child astray!) and had found they only came in a four-pack and what was she going to do with the other three? I offered to take one off her hands as my pudding has advanced as far as soaking the fruit in brandy and I was wondering about putting something other than milk in it - the recipe allows for stout or ale. Oh, dear, we do sound like a boozy lot! I feel I ought to confess we have just started both the sloe gin from two years ago and the damson I made last year, and both are fantastic. They are a very special treat, though.

Other must-do jobs: there is a rose tree to plant but yesterday was just bitterly cold so I chickened out. Ironing - what's new there?! Put more stuff on Ebay... I am looking forward to the day I complete that job! There is a lot to list. Clean out the fish tank, change the bedding... I had better get moving.
