BRIGHTON CONVENTION



The Brighton Convention begins on Friday - at the Amex Centre.  The conventions are being held worldwide.  The theme this year is PURE WORSHIP.  You may have received your invitations. We have been trying to get them widely distributed.

A highlight is the Video Drama, about the life of Jesus.

Wednesday morning, very early - 5 o'clock alarm - we sent off for the Eye Clinic in Brighton, where, after many tests, and painful eye drops, and lovely helpful staff, they have approved me for my cataract surgery. It will happen after the family visits in the summer - first one eye then the other.  Then I managed to break a tooth in the afternoon and face a Monday morning, at least, at the dentists.   

The only bright spot on the horizon is that we have the Convention Friday, Saturday and Sunday, which will give me something positive to think about.

The moths continue to arrive, and leave.  The above are Dusky Thorns.  I know we have had Thorn Moths on our balcony this year, but I am not sure if we have had Duskies so far this year. I must check with the Captain who is in The Field as I type this. He has rung up to tell me that he has found a couple of coins, and also seen a Marbled White, and a Clouded Yellow. Oh and a terrifying moth-catching spider that he seemed to be getting on terms with. 

I have had a reasonably busy morning - changed the bed, done the washing, made the soup - hot and spicy (hopefully) - checked in the Abel & Cole delivery, and done my studying on the balcony while getting my morning dose of sunshine.

I now need to get all my paperwork into order - clear my desk for the Convention tomorrow - and I also have a Zoom session - a double Zoom - with a sister, which I am looking forward to.
