Monday's Lunch

Well it was another great turn out at The Golden Phoenix on Monday. Some new boys turned up in the name of Phil Kirby and David Tilley. It was great seeing them. Man was it cold at The Phoenix yesterday. I gather the furnace was out for a couple of days.


This morning I had the sad pleasure of singing in the choir at The Cathedral for Dr. Ralph Butler's funeral. A large number of his friends and colleagues turned out to say farewell to a scholar and a wonderful man. One of the most poignant moments in the service came before Albert Spurrell read the first lesson. Albert reminisced about how good a skater, both roller and ice, Ralph was. He said he glided across the ice or the concrete and that anyone could skate with Ralph. He made those he skated with look good. I have inserted the last page of the ordo for you to read.
