I’ve clearly been neglecting the blog over the last week or so — not even posting comments about my morning run, which is a pretty low bar for blogging. I’ve been kept very busy for the last fortnight, picking up ends that might go loose when the Rector retires along with a wodge of preaching and various other pastoral miscellanea. Hey ho, many of colleagues (many of whom are former students) will know all this already.
The last three runs have been cold (then just chilly, then cool) and good. This morning’s was especially surprisingly good, since I didn’t sleep well after an exhausting day yesterday. But it’s all been fine.
I should explain: yesterday I woke up early to run before showering, dressing, and printing the homily for the 8:00 service at St Nic’s, then paused for a cup of coffee (oh, all right, ‘and a pain au raisin’), to St Helen’s in time to prepare and rehearse for the 10:30 Patronal service, then coffee hour and home to finish the text for my Schism Sermon at Abingdon Baptist Church. By the time I got home, I was knackered.
