Last evening was spent rescuing a cow (surprisingly, miraculously) from a bog so supper was desultory.
But this evening, my easy 'Hunters chicken' with boiled Pembs. potatoes and peas alongside the Saint-Saëns organ concerto is doing a great deal to restore the situation.
Grateful.

Left-overs dinner, and a great deal of help with my final sermon prep from Lazar Berman and Franz Liszt.

The Word for the Week 'Who among you IS wise' has launched.
It tackles James 3 looking at 'The Shunning of Cunning for the Wisdom that Works' ... and there may be a few surprises.

'Where do you Run?'
Twenty six minutes on security.

Amazing how many 'proper men' in the @NockDeightonAg livestock mart are VERY reluctant to touch a woman to save her life even if she's only plastic!
