A cold snap on Tuesday. Snow in Llangollen,

a little bit in Harpenden

and at HSBC in London.M saw a few flakes here too. What else could I do on a cold wet November day except make a video. Went for an afternoon ride to Mortimer on Wednesday with Kelvin and Stuart. It was cold but sunny. M went to a talk on Prosperity and Piety given by Joan Dils of The Reading History Society Went swimming on Thursday morning. There have been sightings of parakeets down the street and I saw my first one. We popped into town on Friday morning and met James, Madeline and Owen for a coffee. I then went to pick up my glasses. I have long distance ones now as well as readers. We took Madeline to see Robin Red Vest at South St on Saturday afternoon. Think she liked it. She was very absorbed. Also think I left my new reading glasses there. There's lots of parking round there now that you can pay for using the RingGo app. Went to RSAC after to set up for the university band night. They had sold out. Went to Judy and Mike's for dinner with Ralph and Sue. Tony came round for a rehearsal on Sunday afternoon.
