I had a lovely reunion with my former class mate this morning. At least two coffees and an eggs benedict (of sorts - bacon rather than ham) Then a busy scurrying around town to deliver the petition and, on a whim, to call in to see the bishop (who was of course not there).

My former classmate had similar recollections of the departure of the headmaster and of his daughter's leaving school, so I thought it a good idea to alert the Bishop to this potential complication - highlighting the school's duty of care to the children of former staff members potentially affected by the investigation.

Then further mad scurryings around to get dog and cat food and such like before returning home to walk the dogs between showers.

Bed time now and a cool day tomorrow
