To Immaneul Brentford  where I prayed at the ordination of the first two elders from the congregation. Gethin preached in the evening at Dean hall. Confirmed we will host the men's Christmas party since the Baptist church will not allow us beer. Set traps at night. Caught small mouse.

Awoke to misery from down under.

Ashes campaign



Legs bandaged by the best nurse so far, an Ivorian.

I have found I can have my facebook in Hausa but will it auto correct? Ina da shakka.

At last all the packing boxes have been removed by our removers and our hallway is clear. 

Two tickets booked for the first day of The Oval India test in September. Lord's ballet awaited.

Joiners at work. Found them on Checkatrade. Not used it before but have been asked to recommend on it by our plumber. 

Since we moved I have learnt a new skill; how to load a dishwasher. 

The Sikh joiners did the work on time. Later Elissa came for dinner as Rachel was with Ethan in Northwick Park casualty. Three hours to examine a bleeding head wound suffered after a playground altercation. A MacDonald's cheered him up when they came round.
