Today we have three guys and two girls here staying in the guest rooms who are taking a little holiday from Europe where they are trainees. They are all from Canada, at least the guys are.
We also had the Bridge Builders advisory board here for lunch and their semi annual meeting. We also had a birthday tea. Whenever a worker at the LMC has a birthday, they get to choose what they want at tea. Today it was Alistair McKay's 44th bday and he chose scones with clotted cream and jam. The other part of the tradition is that of course we sing happy birthday to the tune they choose. Alastair chose the second half of the doxology, formerly known as 606. Then someone reads the same chapter in Psalms as they are old, so Psalms 44 was read. Then they recount on a special birthday memory.
