It went by rather speedily at 1140, I had a chance to raise my hand on Rob's last journey. It was being follow by helicoptered members of the cortege, the rotors making a real distracting noise no doubt filming the event.Marjorie has gone to friends husband funeral. Its a big one, he knew a lot of people.
The coffin is doing the rounds of where he farmed in his youth.I shall be going out shortly to see it go by.

No FBG, no phone call. Gonna give em hell later!!!!Heatwave here @Annb
I'll ask the heatwave to come your way...
Stand upright and put him in row z.@Lamont D Mark Wood hurling them down at 97 mph. Misjudge one at that speed and one is in serious danger. Best way to play those is from the armchair. How the heck do people catch edges at that speed? Different beasts top sportspeople.
I was watching pre season training in 2016, and I just lost weight sitting.Thanks John and I hope the medical appointments go well for you. Interestingly, eight years ago today was also scorchio. Wonderful photo of #1 grandson, aged 3, on the beach at Sunny Hunny in JKP's Facebook today. Hat, UV protective gear, huge grin. Nice contrast with his Year 6 "Prom" photo from Wednesday. Yes, Bob your words but Joan's voice is more dulcet.
Not long enough!
Is that a quote from a Leonard Cohen song @ianpspurs?there's a crack in everything.
The first report is damning of how our country is run.Good morning all on what is in many ways an Elbow day (Lyrics) here in L.A despite a few reminders that now we see through a glass darkly - just to "keep us honest." So many people here with health care, especially communication and access issues, with which a better led country should be able to deal. For me the key takeaway from Lady Hallet yesterday was that British, mainly a certain type of English public school, exceptionalism has so much to answer for: we must, apparently, never, ever mention that B word or Boris. Until we do things won't get much better. First day of long vac here (wonderful memories) so I'm watching Disney with my granddaughter who is going with JKP to have her nails done and then lunch, as a birthday present. We have three grandchildren's birthday's within eight days but one is in Winchester. Nice enough place Winchester but it isn't Cambridge or Fenland - there's a crack in everything. To all those battling "bureaucracy" hugs, thoughts and prayers. @gennepher thoughts and prayers with you if today is anywhere near as gloriously summery there as it will be here - Genn's Inferno. @dunelm thanks for sharing the art and bon voyage when the time comes. As @dunelm said
Peace be with you all
Yes but inspired by its use in an essay by the C of E minister/poet/musician, Cambridge Don and all round good guy imho, Malcolm Guite. Not a fan of Cohen.Is that a quote from a Leonard Cohen song @ianpspurs?
It was the Dereham one @ianpspurs. Not as big as the Wroxham one but still a good shop and it's major advantage is that it is just over mile away from our village.Enjoy Roys - Dereham? Hoverton?. The Wroxham Emporium and town itself looked quite pleasant on my quick view. We didn't stop for coffee as my boys were taking me for a meal then Pike fishing from a boat on The Broads as a birthday present.
Roys was only able to take cash as they couldn't take card payments - so it looks like supermarkets probably are having problems also.Oops. This might ruin a few days

Welcome to the first and probably last day of real summer! Sorry @gennepher.
Painting getting done.
Mrs L is hibernating with the cooling fan.
Listening to cricket, eye on gelf, arrows tonight.
Haven't listened to politics at all, gone boring now! Can't moan as much now!!!!
Garden time soon.
Ah, but that was the 10 th volume, just starting vol 11....Not long enough!
Sure Ian the life of his friends is precious to God. Just had a phone call from Marjorie, she has finished up at the Green Hill Hotel in a post service get together. She is there with Brian and Mary, Robs sister in law and brother. So what time she gets back is any bodies guess.Hugs for you @lindisfel
Whilst tinged with sadness, such major rural community events can re-emphasise the cohesion around shared values. I'm sure Majorie will value and gain strength from time with the community. I sense you two highly value that community cohesion and are loved and valued in return.Sure Ian the life of his friends is precious to God.
