This afternoon I mostly talked. To be fair to me, I was asked to. There was a meeting at the church - we're planning some improvements, new doors mostly, and also an extension to the churchyard which is nearly full. We die a lot around here, it seems. The Sage will be going to three local funerals in three days and I'll be playing the music at two of them - being friends, I'd go anyway so I might as well be useful.
Anyway, I was making coffee and tea when the Rector came and asked me to explain to the gathered advisors what we want to do. I was a bit startled, being completely unprepared, but fortunately a churchwarden had brought the notes saying what we'd said we want to do so I had a quick glance at them as a reminder. So okay, all those poor front-legged donkeys are all down to me, so I went and improvised. I must say, they were lovely, and extremely helpful. To be fair to us, we had thought it through, and everything we wanted to do was an improvement, but English Heritage as well as the Diocesan Advisory Council was involved and they can be sticky. Not in this instance, all advice was constructive and gladly received (I employed my best party manners and no one else was saying much).
Tonight, I suggested after dinner that we do a bit more work on the catalogue. I was thinking of half an hour or so. More than two hours later, we've just finished. It was rather more work than I wanted to do at the end of the day (I was carrying bags of onions and carrots about at 8 o'clock this morning) and I am very tired. Fortunately, the shop will be closed tomorrow morning. Instead, I plan to go to a lecture about the mosaics at Ravenna. I have seen them, they're beautiful. In the afternoon, I'm having my hair cut.

All this dying should be forbidden.
I too was tired last night. I shall not be having a restful day today though.
Extension to the churchyard - multi storey, perhaps?
Two of the ladies were in their 90s and the third in her 80s but had been ill for a long time. They deserve their Big Sleep, I think.
Restful between 11 and 2 only, unfortunately, Dave.
Pile 'em high, Sir B!
When we buy something, we are always [B][URL=http://www.pandoraforyou.com]pandora jewellery[/URL][/B] thinking that it had better never become devaluated. The one piece that never loses [U][B]tiffany jewelry[/U][/B] its value is always what people want most. Sometimes, the one [B]pandora jewelry[/B] piece would raise its price [U][B]tiffany charms[/U][/B] with the rise of money. Here is recommended the pieces that [B]pandora bracelet[/B] would always be treasured - Tiffany. The watches, bags, bracelets, necklaces. There will always be a classical piece in all the categories [U]pandora necklaces[/U] of Tiffany.
First comes to the tank watches which [B][URL=http://www.etiffanystore.com]tiffany necklaces[/URL][/B] are the favorite of a lot of people around the world. Of course, just like other [B]tiffany[/B] kinds of watches, Tiffany watches have both man and woman [U][B]pandora[/U][/B] style. No matter what kind of style [U]tiffany bracelets[/U] or color it is, the tank watch always has its classical features. The tank watch is called one [U][B]pandora bracelet[/U][/B] of the very important objects in the world.
The watches have the [B]pandora jewellery[/B] unique shape and "favored by all" watch bands. The mixture shape of geometry [B][URL=http://www.etiffanystore.com]tiffany charms[/URL][/B] and art gives the tank watch its lasting value. Women with the [U]tiffany jewelry[/U] watches look more professional and modern [U]tiffany charms[/U] while men with the watch seem more [U]pandora bangles[/U] approachable.
Besides the Tiffany bracelets and bags, something [U]pandora bangles[/U] else from Tiffany is also among the piece to be treasured, from rings to bracelets, from necklaces to [B]tiffany pendants[/B] brooches. Some of them might be relatively cheap while some [U][B]pandora bangles[/U][/B] of them might be expensive. However, all of them are worth treasuring since [U][B]tiffany co[/U][/B] they would never devaluate as a classical [B]pandora[/B] piece.
Perhaps the Sage could get yu something from Tiffany for your birthday.
(Now, if you delete the spam, everyone will think I'm bonkers. Oh. They already do, don't they?)
This thread has taken on an agreeably surreal nature, "favored by all", I hope.
(No reflection on Dave.)
Ravenna mosaics - superb. Wonderful that they've survived, that no iconoclast has ever tried to destroy them.
"One more tray" must have echoed around your skull all night.
I'm afraid it won't be the real thing, Dave. I'm surprised the spam got through, it's very similar to stuff that's been filtered out.
I feel that "favored by all" in that context should be hyphenated. 'Also among the piece to be treasured' doesn't quite hit the grammatical mark. I'm sure that any of us could write better spam than that.
It's worth a trip to Italy just to see the mosaics. They are in astonishingly fine condition, too. Hard to believe how old they are.
Yes, Simon. I didn't sleep well. And, towards the end, I messed up the formatting and couldn't bear to fiddle with it, so I have that to do this evening. I don't have time this afternoon.
Anyway, how long will you be at Ravenna?
Well, a long weekend should do it.
