Cats gonna cat.

I was licensed as a PTO Reader today. An amazing experience in Derby Cathedral! facebook.com/10006483981515…

Finally made official, after about six years of doing most of the job! Biggest thanks to my TI, Stella 🙏🏻

Happy Caturday! Wallis has interviewed us and would quite like us to be his new staff…

So last Sunday was music Sunday and after a typically tuneful HC in church, six of us joined with over 100 choristers Derby Cathedral for full choral Evensong. Crikey. If that’s making a joyful noise, bring it on 🎶🎶. Thanks to Alex Binns 🙏🏻

Happy Shetland Flag Day!

In my day we had mortgages with 16% interest rates, yes 16%!😱 Did we moan? No We got on with it. We went without luxuries like Netflix, Costa coffees, skunk, shellac, hot tubs & leggings. We grew our own concrete & our kids didn’t identify as cats. And we were happier for it!😡

It's time for #GladdersYoga so have a big stretch to start the class.

Lie on your side with your back arched. Stretch out your front legs and then yaaawn #GladdersYoga

Stand up and lean slightly forward. Keep your legs straight and look up. Arch your back #GladdersYoga

Lie on your front and stretch your front legs out to the sides but forward. Pretend you're flying! #GladdersYoga

It is the feast of St Mildred. Abbess of Thanet in the 8th C. The devil used to blow out her candle when she was trying to read the Bible so she summoned a luminescent angel who hovered over the page for her convenience. She was succeeded by St Bugga in 733.

Such a joyful and brilliant Sunday today. Small miracles, good things growing. Someone, somewhere must be praying very hard! Made me think of this (Mary Oliver):

In a world struck by war, conflict and strife, Christmas and the message it brings remains a time of hope for many across the world. Enjoy this reworking of 'O Little Town of Bethlehem', written, performed and produced by the Theos team. 🎄 youtube.com/watch?v=m4I-XL…

If any theatre critics are near Derby, go and see Cinderella. It’s not a panto. Oh no it really isn’t. It’s a superb show with top quality performances from both adult and young cast. My granddaughters loved it - and they can be quite critical!!

My favourite: The Skating Minister, aka the Revd Walker skating on Duddingstone Loch images.app.goo.gl/p9AHz4KVewY8xx…

Bates v P O: have I missed something? When the victims repaid money into the PO, where did it go? Who took it?

Just put on Songs of Praise and there was Sue Jones - V Rev Dean of Liverpool. Seems no time since she was at our dining table after taking a vacancy service for our parish. Great to see you in the role God called you to, Sue, but miss you here as well 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
