Easter Sunday

 The clocks went forward last night- which means I got up earlier than usual but the clocks said I got up later. The best thing is not to think about it.

Quakers don't do Easter but they do do family parties so I'm expecting fewer than usual at the Meeting House this morning. 

Not Shy Any Longer

 We had 16 people at the Meeting House this morning. Not bad at all. There was a first timer (always great to welcome one of those) and a couple visiting from Blackheath- which happens to be Mike and Su's local Meeting house.

I used to be awful shy. Dunno quite what happened, but it seems to me that I just decided- sometime in middle age- that being shy is stupid so I dropped it. Now, after Meeting, I float round the room talking to everyone who looks like they need to be talked to- and especially the shy ones. There are one or two whom I like to tease. 

 Mike and Su (who came to the Meeting and had a chance to chat to the Blackheath couple) have gone home. Now we're expecting a visit from Odi and the kids- and Odi's new boyfriend. The latest news is that they parked over night at a Tesco's in London and now they can't access the car because the Tesco's in closed (it's Easter Sunday- every damn thing is closed apart from the churches) and the barriers are down on the car park. It's like an episode of Only Fools and Horses...
