Diary w/e 25 Nov 17

Sun 19 Nov

Elissa and than overnight and to breakfast. At church in the morning a treat with Chad van Dixhorn on confessions at Sunday School. He is the world expert on the Westminster Assembly. He also preached from John 3:30 ff 'He must increase."
Jonathan and family here for his 47th birthday celebrated with roast beef and Yorkshires. Tea at Rachel's with cake. Evening service Paul Levy on Him 3-4. I blogged notes only to find this Mac had lost them.
   Found our men's Christmas party cannot use the baptist church as they are a dry premises. So I have invited the party tone here in our house. Meat, beer and games is the slogan. This year I have a Christian drinking song for us to learn.

Mon 20 Nov

Pharmacy say they will not deliver this far so I will contact a more locale. Cooked meat balls. Found the TV White Princess disappointing.

Tues 21 Nov

Excellent Ealing Lunchtime Talk, Chris Roberts on Ecc.3. Better together in church.
Enjoyed Ealing Tweet Up at Pho Vietnamese restaurant. Free food and drink and good conversation. Reckon I was the oldest there and the only one without a smart phone.

Wed Nov 22

In think today's wind will blow off all the remaining leaves. Front door handrail fitted. Piano tuned. Piano tuner says it is seriously out of tune, a semitone sharp as if it has been very cold and he will have to return after Katy plays it in more. It can only be the removal process. IPC half yearly meeting with me as chairman. Done in forty minutes including prayer time. A record from a well behaved membership.

Thur Nov 23

Greenford Lunchtime Talks , Chris Roberts on John 4. 15 there including some from the Methodists next door.

Fri Nov 24

Enjoyed a great production of She Stops to Conquer. A brilliantly wittily written drama. Questors Theatre in the small Studio we were front row coming in to late seats just in time.

Sat Nov 25

First time up early to watch the Ashes and England let me down with openers out quickly. A load to the dump and on our return to my surprise we found a recycling bin had arrived, only about six weeks after I ordered and four and a half months after our vendor reported it stolen.
Moorfield's Eye Clinic at Ealing Hospital. Very kind Iraqi doctor angry my treatment delayed four months. Could not inject the eye but did laser treatment.
Tube to Turnham Green, St. Michael's for West London Symphnia Reformation Concert. Loved the Bach, Mendelsohn fine but did not rate the Wagner, Parsifal. Large orchestra. David Leroy on first violins kindly gave us a lift home where we started watching the Crown. Vulgar at times and the children far too old n 1951. Amazing how long before the king learnt of his cancer and the family not told.
