eg: "Do you have any plasters in the house? I've cut my finger."
Not much to write in this post except:
797 pp. - Our Mutual Friend - Dickens
+Don't even want to know pp. - Felix Holt, The Radical - Eliot

An inestimable amount of time spent in a chair reading, with numerous tea breaks.
I'll be up for awhile. I'd like to get to p. 400-something tonight, so I can finish off Our Mutual Friend and be done with him for a while. (Until Thursday-Friday for the essay.)
This week will be interesting.
On another note, I always come across this verse, but it seemed especially poignant today:
Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.
Psalm 63:3, NIV
Don't know quite what it is. Maybe because I make such a big deal out of life, that something greater than that is mind-boggling.
Today I really needed to let go, and I was not sure exactly how. Reading my Bible generally helps, I've found. Even if my brain absolutely refuses to work, I'm still capable of reading a few Psalms and enjoying them fully.
I'm 1/2 the way through Hilary Term, and 1/3 the way through the entire programme here. I'll miss this place.
Cheers!
Re Bible reading---always good to do; (try the lectionary?) suggestion--cruise a book store (gee, any of those in Oxford?) and find old or new a book of Lenten readings for the upcoming season. The Old Reliable could be the Common Book of Prayer. Ash Wednesday is next week---will you be singing in a service?
ReplyDeleteYes, I will be singing in a service. I'm sure it will be good--you can't really go wrong with singing in chapels with evensong choirs; at least not the way i see it.
