The temperature dropped precipitously overnight; after a good run in the stifling heat yesterday morning, I couldn’t get loose in this morning’s chill (down from 17° yesterday to 9° this morning) and in the end, mixed walking and running. Coffee and fruit, shower and dress, and spend most of the day here with the dogs while Margaret attends the Blackfriars conference on natural law. I’ll head in myself later in the day to connect with Jonathan Birch, and will probably go tomorrow as well to buy a round for Simon Dürr. Apart from all that, it’s write write write as I’m overdue for a couple of Sunday preaching commentaries. Conveniently, I’m not preaching at all this week.
