Last night, before I went to sleep, snow covered the roads and pavements, so I was planning not to run. This morning, rain was washing the snow away and rendering the pavements slippery, so I confirmed my plan to not run. All the more, since I was unexpectedly asked — while we had a friend over for the afternoon/evening — to take the 8:00 service at St Nic’s this morning. So instead of running, I sipped a cup of coffee, dashed off a quick homily, and tried in vain to persuade the dogs to venture outdoors to relieve themselves.
Service went well, came home to the dogs, and now I’ll take the afternoon easy.
