I have had a dread hanging over me for the last weeks as a long time ago I lightheartedly agreed to do a reading in the UR church with D. The previous speakers in the series had all been proper grown up people who spoke on serious subjects and I did not think I was quite up to it. Also I always have two main worries, firstly that no one will turn up and next that lots of people will come. In fact, it was about the right number and everyone was kind to us about it, but I am glad it is over.
Today I made a pumpkin pie to take to a Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. It made me feel like ma in The Little house on the Prairie as I was rolling out the pastry on the kitchen table.
