We made a rare visit to the cinema last night to see the recording of the Barbican production of 'Kiss Me Kate' with Alan Dunbar. It was thoroughly enjoyable and an excellent respite after the last week in the Church of England.

Any tips on easing my stubborn post-Covid cough before I take a 9 hour flight next weekend?

Have just had the pleasure of proof reading oldest child's first piece of work intended for publication (chapter of an academic book about libraries)

For I think the first time ever, I have this evening danced a set of 'strip the willow' that did not descend into total chaos!

A lovely day today. One of the congregation brought Galette des Rois to share over post-Mass coffee this morning and a visiting choir meant we had a festal evensong and benediction with more cake this afternoon.

Next summer's 'big' holiday will start in Nashville in late August - for a Laurie King event and Bouchercon - and end with several days in Chicago. Suggestions of places to go and things to see in both, and on a road trip between the two, would be very welcome.

A good book haul this Christmas :-)

There is something very satisfying about home preserving - even when it's 'only' pickled onions.

@rosiefrancais.bsky.social - I thought this might appeal to you if you don’t already have it….
I just reviewed Fiona Snailham’s anthology of ecclesiastical uncanny tales ‘Holy Ghosts’ for Folk Life journal: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Could anyone whose Greek is rather better than mine identify this please? I think it may be some sort of Proper of Saints, but I could be totally wrong… @akma.bsky.social @mthrjo.bsky.social
