Maundy Thursday

It may have been Maundy Thursday today, but we didn’t take part in any of the activities that mark the day. We simply went about our normal day, which involved lazing around in bed this morning, with all the best intentions.

However, I did make a mental note of the last commandment Jesus gave to his disciples at that last supper, and of which we remind ourselves today. He said, ‘….. love one another, as I have loved you, you are also to love one another.‘ How wonderful if we could all do that, always? What a wonderful world that would be!

After my ‘Thought for the Day’, I finally managed to get out of bed and phone the Land Registry to ask how to amend the ownership of Mum’s house. Apparently, my Dad’s name is still on the deeds….. I spoke to a chap who was incredibly helpful. He sent me a form, which I duly filled in and posted off forthwith. Excellent. A sense of achievement for once!

We had a bit of a to and fro text message conversation with Kenilworth Newbies this morning. ‘Can you come over this afternoon to let the plumber in?’ ‘Oh, scrap that, Danielle will be in‘ ‘Hang on, Danielle will be out, so as you were.‘

In the end, we did go over. Michael had meetings and needed to be in them, and the plumber’s visit coincided with his absence. When we got there the plumber had yet to arrive, but Michael was downstairs having his lunch break – without any lunch to eat. “I’ll just nip to Sainsbury’s and buy some sandwiches,” I said, and rushed back out again.

When I got back, Steve, the plumber was there. Michael wolfed his sandwiches down in readiness for his meeting. Then stopped. “I think I’ll email them and tell them I’m dealing with an emergency plumbing situation and will join them when I can.” What a good idea! And……..relax.

We stayed for a bit longer and I put together a little ‘Easter Tree’ with little eggs in baskets, for the children to enjoy and as a surprise when they got home. I am sure they’ll enjoy it! The Kenilworth Originals will have to wait for theirs until they get back from their trip.

This afternoon John and I went into Coventry to have a conversation with a real person at the Virgin Bank. John puffed his way up the incline to the High Street, only to find when we got there, that they had new opening hours and had closed at two o’clock…. Booooo. Ah, well, I am sure the exercise did us good and at least we have rekkied the joint now.

A bit of telly this evening and that was us today.

Take care everyone. God bless us all this Eastertide:

May we be blessed with Love; 
That we may show patience, 
Tolerance, kindness, caring and love to all. 
Amen
