Not for me, mind you, but for the other doctor in the house. Margaret has been invited to preach on Mary (specifically, the scene at the end of John’s Gospel where, from the cross, Jesus assigns Mary to the care of the Beloved Disciple) at Evensong at Oriel’s chapel. Then, of course, dinner at High Table. I will of course attend, and will fairly glow with pride.
But I began my day with a run, a good time if not quite as rapid as yesterday. Coffee, fruit, shower, coffee, toast, and off to church in a short while. I hope to get some marking done this afternoon before Evensong, to begin my week with a somewhat clean slate. I need to write a cover piece for this coming week’s church newsletter, which will probably involve some of the stuff I will have been saying about liturgy, practice, and meaning in the series of post-service short ‘Spiritual Snacks’ — but I can put that off till tomorrow, I think.
