She spent last night preparing some really very creative prayers for this evening’s weekly big college communion service. So I’m somewhat surprised to get an email from her just before the service begins. She’s at home with the bi-annual (every other year) migraine, the older VKIT is having a rough time having had the first of two sets of braces fitted yesterday and I’m on the Eurostar doing 180 miles an hour in a direction away from home.

The challenge is how we and she can integrate into the college, with its mixture of single people (or partners away from their spouses and grown up children), and married people who have VWITs who are very much there for their VITs, despite in some cases the very real demands of small children. I’m feeling very “not there” for her.

On the bright side, the college tutor wants to meet us, and we can even muster 4 out of the 5 humans in the house to do so.  The other one will be in Iceland.

And I missed the coffee morning. I was discussing challenging clients with my colleagues in London, and now I’m writing this from Belgium…
