Even though the clocks went back last night, we still found ourselves in a rush to get to church on time. The 28th October is the feast of St Jude and as our parish is the home to the shrine of St Jude, it was packed out with pilgrims. The priests have been advertising for new altar servers and Honor has her eye on that job but she's not sure about it yet.

Henry has gone for a sleepover at Nana's tonight as it is half term and, therefore, no school tomorrow. He only started school 6 weeks ago and seems to be coping quite well. Honor and I have been playing monopoly all afternoon and we are now watching James Bond. She keeps moaning that she is hungry and bored. Guess that's why they call 'em board games! (Groan) - Well it made her laugh as she reads this over my shoulder. Anyway, HM, not long 'til Daddy comes home from footie with a take-away. And we can watch the X-Factor. Who do you want to win? Oh, she doesn't know as she hasn't seen any of it yet. Wonder what she'll think of John and Edward....
