Many thanks, Chris, for your efforts on our behalf. It is nice to be able to post again (and to read other people's posts). The past few weeks seem to have been full of computer systems going wrong. One of our professors encountered problems with what we call eDiary (an Exchange server), which have taken weeks to sort out (here's me thinking that they have been sorted out, maybe there are still problems ahead - and, unfortunately, we know that he has lost some data, to some extent the fault of a person who was trying to help him).
It now appears that Celebrity's scooter was taken by someone who knows her. Nobody has owned up to being the one who did it, but two girls are now accusing each other. One has claimed that she took the scooter back to the Co-op, but unfortunately the Co-op staff appear to have no knowledge of this. Beloved has met our community policeman, and is seeing him to-morrow. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a good way forward here.
And this morning, Celebrity and I will be attending our local (CoS) parish church. Beloved and Celebrity enjoyed the Easter service there last week. This week there will be Sunday School (no Sunday School last week because of it being Easter), so we are making a definite step towards moving away from the church we currently belong to (if belonging is the right word). It will be the first time (apart from the service I attended after parading with the Rainbows) that I have attended a Sunday morning service at this church since we went there for a couple of weeks after moving to our present house. Then, I was reluctant to find myself back within the CoS, Beloved and I having attended an evangelical Episcopal church since we married. Now, if I want to attend a church which is physically inside the community where we live, I have little choice - the Roman Catholics, a struggling Methodist congregation, and the CoS are the only mainstream denominations represented. 'CoS', by the way, is my abbreviation for Church of Scotland.
