Funny Old Day

It's been a bit of a mixed bag today. We were at the crematorium chapel this morning where there was a really emotional and moving tribute to a friend and colleague of S who died ridiculously young. I'm in serious awe of the people who can speak so eloquently on these occasions. When the service was over we wandered through the cemetery and visited the grave of my great-nephew. Seems like no time time at all since I was at his graveside service but it's been more than 7 years. Tempus fugit and all that.

We'd driven past the meadows festival in the morning so stopped off on the way back into town and before the deluge! There was a good band playing, Alba Roma I think, and giving it big licks. There's a real mix of stalls there this year and the shows are on as well so it was pretty lively.

Didn't really fancy the food-stall options though so we headed across to the mosque for a curry instead. Best lunch value in town! Don't think I'll be needing anything else until tomorrow's breakfast!
