The pantry is now well stocked with marmalade. I'm very proud of my industriousness. It's such a long job, cutting all the orange peel up but well worth it in the end. W was very pleased to have marmalade this morning with his breakfast. I rather guiltily made myself a couple of pots of shredless marmalade by straining the peel out as I just don't like eating my toast with bits of peel on it. As W likes the shred he can have extra in his.
Tabitha is well ensconced into vicarage life and looks like she has always been here. She's losing her skinny look already and shared our sardines that we had for supper. I can see that she'll eat better than us soon.
Called in to see Mr and Mrs Grant today. They really are an interesting couple. Their knowledge of the village is wonderful and they both have so many interesting stories. Mr Grant's knowledge of the church is particularly useful for both W and myself. I suppose it comes from being verger for so long. I'm glad he has retired now as it was such a lot of work for him but I'm not sure he's that happy about it. I think he's so used to being active and working hard that this recent inactivity is not so good for him. I must think about it more and see if there's anything I can do.
W was at a meeting with the Rural Dean today. I asked him to look out for flea bites. W refused saying he would look odd if he starting staring intently at him looking for bites and that I should stop thinking about it. I agree - I won't think any more about it.
Mrs Cox was in today and mentioned that Margaret was thinking of getting married - if she could decide between two suitors. We were interrupted before this conversation could go any further. I'm looking forward to hearing the end of it.
