Friday 4th December

I was astonished to see just now, that 23 people viewed yesterday's blog.  I usually have about half a dozen, if that. 

This has been a very trying day.   Bill was not at the hospital today, so when I got there I 'hid' my handbag under his desk - and when I got back from my chaplaincy round I found my purse had been taken out of it.    Usually, when he is there it is safe enough under my own desk, but I think in future I will keep it locked in the car.

There was very little money in it, but all my cards and UK driving licence.   I went to my bank and stopped that card, then had to go home and put a stop on my Lloyds card.  Finally I went to the police station to report its loss because of my driving licence, and the fact that it will take a little while to get a new one from Swansea.  I never exceed the speed limit here so I'm not likely to be pulled over and asked for it, but I wanted it placed on record that I am driving round Shawnee without one until its replacement comes.

Thinking about it this evening I have to say I was touched by all the kindness I had.   The customer service rep in my local bank; the person I spoke to at Lloyds who said it would take a few days for a new one to arrive and would I be alright; and the sympathetic police officer I spoke to.

That is really what my day has been about, so there isn't really anything to add to this.
