Only in terms of the social groups associated with the church. Married couples with children, and the elderly, are the groups that need tend to need that social support network so I don't feel particularly isolated by that. Given the reverend is a married man with children most of the sermons...

At the end of a very frustrating work day I like to potter about in the back garden, talking to/feeling the plants.

I do watch the news before work, it's interesting to see what they consider worthy of reporting.

I'm torn between spending a few hours between work clearing the front garden, and paying someone far more skilled to get it down to a more manageable level.
