It’s past midnight. I was up late
trying to help Taine to get Skype working. And helping her get her computer
sorted out. It was a bit of a mess. Her desktop was messed up. So, today after
we had breakfast we went to the Anglican church in the village.
Everyone was really nice. [redacted] The British though are quite
unlike most Americans when it comes to religion, they’re pretty laid back.
Of course the priest had a British
accent, and it was difficult to keep a straight face at times as it seemed very
much like a Monty Python skit.
After church, I helped Taine serve
tea and coffee. I helped her clean up too. I didn’t mind. It was a good way to
meet people.
Then we went home and had lunch. We
watched Father Ted on the tele, and had some good laughs.
Then we went to a plant nursery and
Taine bought a plant, rhubarb maybe? I forget. They had some really cool clay
things with stars, but I’d have never been able to get them home. Jan would
have probably liked them. They were hollow so you could put those lights in
them to light your garden paths.
Then we went to Flatford. I found
some playing cards for Ben (my boss) and some fridge magnets that had the names
[redacted] and [redacted] on them. I think Jan and Robert will like that. It has
the coat of arms on it.
Then we took a boat ride down the
Stour. It was quite pleasant. £4 for thirty minutes and Taine paid for both of
us. It was quite nice of her.
Then we headed home and had scones
and clotted cream again in the garden. It was a gorgeous day. I kept joking
that I brought the nice weather with me from the south of France.
Then I took some pictures of Taine’s
garden for her, and I helped her get them uploaded to her computer, which led
me to helping her get her computer in a more efficient working order.
It’s late now. Time for bed
