A while ago a lovely German man appeared at our church. He came a few times to look around during our Saturday opening hours, before asking if the piano abandoned in the corner worked.
I told him it was horrendously out of tune, and the cathedral piano tuner had deemed it not worth sorting out.

Remember, man, that thou art dust.
The earl kneels, the ash of the end is written on his brow.
A captain of ships kneels, to be put in mind of a death in a far port, or at home, or on a rock of the sea…

How was Synod for me? Let me tell you… shared-conversations.com/2025/02/16/l...
Living in parched places: February 2025 General Synod
I’m just back from a five-day Synod in central London. And, not for the first time, I’m wondering what the point of it all is. That’s exacerbated by being aware of some blatant attempts at manipula…

Independent-ish
Synod gets stuck in factionalism, but stumbles into a reasonable compromise on safeguarding reform - and in between manages to unban gluten-free Communion wafers

"We have fought and died alongside you....During your darkest hours...we were always there. Standing with you, grieving with you, the American people.” I’ve had my differences with Justin Trudeau, for sure, but he rose to the occasion here.

Can I suggest that we all get a bit seasonal and contemplate the Adoration of the Magi in the Snow by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. It is claimed to be the first depiction of snow in Western Art.
(If you can't find the Magi, there's some adoring going on bottom left in a rather ordinary hovel.)
