Good morning all, especially the early risers like me!
The golfer is golfing, so of no chance of sleeping on!
It's 12°C, so not too cold.
GM, thank you for your kind words. I'm relieved you have clarified your friend's situation, like many on here, I thought she was a double amputee.
It"s also good to hear that you have some support.
I was sorry to hear yesterday, that both Corner and Georgesgran, have had stressful times.
I don't have much planned today, apart from a little bit of church admin. I have a little office in the parish house, where I can hide away in peace.
The only distractions will be the PP's large dogs. I am afraid of dogs, but the dogs follow me about, nuzzling in and trying to chew my shoes! The PP thinks its hilarious, he calls them my pals, especially the baby, who is huge, but has taken a shine to me.
Yesterday morning was very pleasant, I caught up with a few people at church, oh how I love to chat! It was a real tonic.
We have a parishioner, who is a retired GP and whom I find rather formidable and aloof. She stopped me to ask, how I was and gave me an enormous hug, when I told her what had been happening. I was quite overwhelmed by her kindness.
I ended up not attending Mass, because I was so breathless, especially because there was rather a lot of incense and I've never seen the church so busy. It was a bit overwhelming for me. I'm very wary of crowds!
It was probably, a good thing, as both priests saw how fragile I am at the moment.
A bit of makeup and a nice outfit go a long way to covering up, you would think I was very healthy! ?
The two priests said some lovely things to me later, suggesting I set my own agenda and go at my own pace and that the most important thing is my wellbeing, so not to overdo things. (Heard that before, somewhere).
You see my problem is that my brain, never stops whirring, it's my body which lets me down!!
I will come back later to catch up with all your news.
Ash, I hope all goes well tonight. I have read the Thirty Nine Steps so often, I almost know it off by heart.
Also hoping all the sore arms have eased!
Wishing you all the best of days!
