This morning dawned with more low cloud, but at least no rain, so off to Church for Pentecost. Our minister is currently preaching a series of sermons on St Paul's letters, but for today turned to The Acts of the Apostles, and the speed with which the good news of the Christian faith spread far and wide from Jerusalem around the Mediterranean countries and even to the heart of the Roman Empire, Rome.

Our prayers this morning were particularly for the poor people in Burma and in a different vein, for the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland which starts next week.

I was lucky this morning to get a disabled parking bay - I left home at 10.15 to try to make sure of that.

After a quick lunch, my mind was tortured by the thought of two strips of plants unplanted.

So, I took my stick and a trusty polythene bag and ventured forth.

Luckily the plants are small and the soil is very easy to work just now after all the rain we have had, so although bending over is not easy (and is really not desirable) I managed to get all the plants in.

A great feeling of achievement!

And now the sun has come out.
