Good morning all from a sunny Glasgow where it is 12°C.
Pants, I hope to fix the last dress today. However, I have a lovely denim dress with puffed shoulders, which I cannot get right. I'm sure Karma would be able to sort it!
Belated birthday greetings to GG, I hope you and Gingster had a lovely day.
Condolences to you and your family, Kitty and sorry to hear you are unwell, Greyduster.
Yesterday turned out to be unexpectedly busy. I was in the middle of washing my hair, when the P.P phoned, saying that there was no sign of the chief sacristan, who was supposed to be opening up the church for Mass and he wasn't answering his phone.
I confirmed that he was indeed opening up and I was supposed to be taking over later , to tidy up to let him leave.
I quickly got ready, rushed down to find the curate in a flap and grumpy mood..He was even grumpier, when I said that we had no idea where the chief was. The curate is very traditional is not keen on women being in the sacristy, but he had no choice, but to put up with me.🤣
He changed his tune when he got stuck in his alb. The tie at the neck had been tied in an impossibly tight knot and he was stuck. After much huffing and puffing, he allowed me to help. Anyone coming in would have wondered why I had my hands round his neck. 😁
Eventually I had to cut him out of the beautiful, antique alb. Stomping off, he muttered, I will never be able to wear it again.
In fact he will. I got the knot out, repaired the alb and left it ready for this morning's Mass., with a note, saying that he could wear it.
As I was struggling to fix the alb, the Sunday evening sacristan came in quite upset. We use beautiful high candles at the weekend and on putting them away, she broke off one of the feet, but was worrying about telling the P.P,
I spent ages trying to fix it, but I need to raid DH's jar of a million screws to replace it. However, it is fixable.
We unexpectedly have Dollie today, It is her parents' wedding anniversary and at the last minute, they have decided to go out.
Thankfully, she doesn't want to do much, she needs a rest, because she has been so busy. I am so glad. I haven't felt good these last few days, so am glad to be just pottering about and having her delightful company.
I wish you all, a pleasant day.
