Remembrance Day




There was an Armistice Sunday service at the Cenotaph this morning, for Remembrance Day. There was a parade of a marching band first, then the police force, then the various groups like scouts, brownies and so on. I didn’t stay for the Divine Service by His Excellency the Bishop because I couldn’t be bothered with empty religiosity, and the boys would have been bored, so we walked home as soon as the fun part was over. Quite a good turnout by the looks of it though. In the afternoon, we went to the pool. I didn’t swim, since I’ve started reading the third book in the Francine Rivers series and it was far more entertaining than swimming. Nick and the boys were in the water for a good two hours. They were all quite tired in the evening! As usual they fell asleep in church (just the boys, that is, not Nick). The service was good and quite well attended.
