I didn’t run this morning — part of my strategy to be kinder to my knees, giving them time to recover from several runs and a lot of walking this week. Moreover, we were out last night with several wonderful friends whom we see less often than really we ought to, and gin and wine and after-dinner whisky flowed (all in moderation, of course).
Hot breakfast this morning, Morning Prayer, and now I need to finish two homilies and prepare for interviews Monday and Tuesday. I look forward to having some time to relax and unwind, but it seems increasingly likely that won’t come till after Christmas — no surprise there, but quite a push to get through the next three weeks while staying in top form pastorally.
