Returning home in the heavy rain after a busy Sunday.
Morning service, the last before Christmas, quite busy with a lot attending. All quite cheery as Christmas approaches, bubbly and ready for anything.
Except me.
I had forgotten to eat on the previous night and was almost asleep during the service. My mind kept floating away, and concentration is hard enough these days. Rejoice! Rejoice! Coffee was served, this kept me going till I got home.
There I ate, and watched the Heart of Midlothian walk all over the arrogant, orange dressed, Rangers.
2-1 was the final score, but it ought to have been 4-0 at least. We missed an excellent opportunity to give them a hiding, sadly.
I then slept for 20 minutes.
Just as well as I was doing the first reading at the 6 o'clock Carol Service.
This went well, all read acceptably, carols were sung, strangers, some annual strangers, came. Then all the strangers ran for the door at the end in case someone spoke to them, and we had all the mulled wine to ourselves.
Still raining.
See...

You forgot to eat? Am I gonna have to come over there and be your Mama? You must eat, son! Now, I did a reading at Christmas one time at church, of the angels appearing to the shepherds. Suddenly, it was as if I had been transported and I felt the fear in the dark, of that sudden light of the angels. I began sobbing and it was difficult to continue. Oh well, no one can't say I wasn't moved! Merry Christmas, Ad Man!
Kay, Carol services do that.
Time to own up.....who set off the fire alarm.....
Fly, The visitors!
