As expected, promised thunderstorm missed us out.
Not enough thunder and lightning here for my taste.
(All right, that’s true of pretty much everywhere. But I’m not going to move to the Congo just for the lightning; too hot. Mebbe one of the more congenial bits of South America.)

Arrived in Corfu, an overnight stop before we continue on to Paxos. Our room’s small balcony has a lovely view & this morning overlooked a parade of celebration that Britain gave back control of the Ionian Islands to a newly liberated Greece in a largely peaceful way.
I forgot to bring my Union flag. What a shame.
They likes a uniform and a band does the Mediterranean.

More sun. Might get some rain by the end of the week, if we’re lucky and they don’t cancel it again.

I won’t keep boring you but, suffice to say it was 72°, in proper numbers, at 7 30am.
I’ve not heard any TA for a week & probably won’t this week either. By reports this appears to be a good thing.

Have read this properly now, Fishy, from the comfort of my own Waptop, azzitwere
Mr C’s CofE Church used to Baptise children during the morning service & it was always chaotic . They liked the Congregation to welcome the babies/children ‘en masse’
At my Church Baptisms were by appointment at 3-30pm onna Sunday afternoon, with only families/well-wishers present
Under the Noo regime,Baptisms are held once a month at 11am onna Saturday, apart from the lucky baby boy who was Baptised at the 11am High Mass on Easter Sunday .

It is strange, to me, that at a time at which it is less and less likely that a child will still be attending the same church by the time s/he comes to confirmation, what with the way everyone seems to move about the country now, the church is being more and more determined to tie his or her religious life to the place in which he was baptised. The whole congregation is not going to be involved in the child’s upbringing, so why drag them into it? is my feeling.
Not to mention that not everyone in any congregation is enamoured of babies (and still less of three- and four-year-olds crashing about the church throughout the service brandishing toys and shouting) and not everyone wants their service to have these added to it.
