I love this definition. A great therapist I worked with would always get people to extend their ‘I’m tired’ sentence to ‘I’m tired of……..’. Try asking yourself next time you feel tired- what am I tired of? It’s often very revealing!

A bimble around the Beyond Van Gogh exhibition was more than enough exercise today. Followed by a delicious carvery at Buckfast Abbey. I’m tired and sore but so glad we went.

12yo has sent photos from Iceland where he is on a geography trip. Nope, I’m not jealous. Well maybe a little bit!

27 staples removed! 21 from the top wound and 6 from the lower. I’m hoping it’s not too naive to think some movements will be easier now.

It’s been great travelling with our 8 Confirmation candidates. We have one more session before the service on Weds 26 Nov at 7pm but I hope our excellent conversations continue for a long time after that!

And breathe! Two nights cocooned at Epiphany House are to be treasured - this is the last time for this course so I don’t know when I’ll get to do it again

Just in case anyone was wondering if I’d recovered from being called Reverend Lady yesterday!

Another stunning day off. This time across the border at Boringdon Hall. Seriously, being a priest in Cornwall is soooo tough. #MinisterCornwall
