Saturday 10.8.57
It hasn’t been such a happy
day in some respects especially for my darling. I had been to B’m, taking
Annette with me where I found continued progress w the Vicarage. Minnie & H
were in the kitchen when I returned & when I spoke of the progress H was
scornful & sceptical. […] I do not sufficiently remember that my dear one
is twenty years older than I & that all the change & stress of present
events are far more trying to one past seventy than to one past fifty.

Was busy in my study after
2hrs sleep this pm. Finished preparing sermons for tomorrow & planned
services for tomorrow week. Called on Mother & Roy for half an hour this
eve. Roy is rebuilding the scullery to make a kitchenette & seems to be
doing well.
It was a year ago tomorrow
that I had a slight stroke. Thinking back on that experience & the sense of
impotence, the slurred speech & useless left arm & leg, I rejoice in
God’s goodness & my wonderful recovery. I shall never forget the courage of
dear H & all she did for me then.
