Apologies to recent commenters – I forgot I'd set the moderation of comments mode. All comments now uploaded and thanks for the many helpful and some unhelpful suggestions about what to do with books that don't fit into a modest study. Talking to someone yesterday about something very different from books, but about how the constraints of smallness struggle to incorporate large demands, I suggested it was like trying to put a king size duvet in a single bed size duvet cover.
This Holy week I have been immersed in the stuff that needs to be done to recover a semblance of life that is liveable. Much progress made and now going home to have a week's holiday. I have missed doing the daily blog post, especially during Holy week, but now and again it finally dawns on me that energy, time and inclinations have limits. Which I've decided to accede to. Still waiting the broadband at home which will take another 2 to 3 weeks. Don't ask – just pray for those of us whose gift is not patience, and who pray impatiently for more of it.
Just about to drive home to Westhill, Aberdeen. I have some CD's I will use to air condition my brain, and touch my heart alive again, and an emergency supply of chocolate just in case there are any threatening snowflakes on this mostly clear frosty day! First snowflake I see is deemed an immediate emergency.
This joyful Eastertide
away with sin and sorrow
My Lord, the crucified
has sprung to life this morrow
Had Christ, that once was slain,
not burst his three day prison
Our faith would be in vain
but now is Christ arisen
Quite so!
