I'm using the postcard-sized copy of Rublev's Trinity that usually hangs in our dining room.
Been trying to prep. I feel like I'm on TaskMaster!
Didn't really go with the greens and the garlic bread though 😞
Eek! My stepmother once got halfway through reheating a lasagne from the freezer for tea, and then realised it was actually an iced banana cake!
I'd much rather just have butter than any type of cream
I wish I could explain to my doggy that the doggies barking on the telly are not actually in distress, and he doesn't need to bark back or jump up and investigate!

"And headwear, sir?"
"My lesbian canal boater, I think, Jeeves. I'm feeling daring."
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that any publication owned by Rupert Murdoch, must inevitably descend into trite rage bait." Jane Austen, probably.

On the other hand, a "Lesbian Canal Boater" sounds like a rather dashing item of summer headwear.
It was our first time at that theatre. It's a great venue. Thankfully, we're booked for a few more things in the not too distant future.
He was the focus of the opening worship at my seminar this morning too.
I decided the second hour (with group work) wasn't the best use of my energies this week and that having someone with a close reading PhD in a group with recent returning learners probably wasn't helpful for them either. So son 4 made me brechdan selsig blasus iawn instead.
I'm about to go into a 2-hour exegesis seminar, 40 minutes after my flu jab. Is this wise? We shall see.
I haven't seen it, no. I think I've heard of it though.
I loved it (even though R&J is a fundamentally daft play) I was particularly excited that we got Welsh Queen Mab (and Mercutio was great in general)
Different country, same process.
I have an important set of 6 Zoom conversations scheduled for Wednesday. They come with a complicated advance email. Today I received an email, but it wasn't THE email, it was just an email ABOUT the email. I should get THE email tomorrow. Eek!
That would make a good version. We're going to see bilingual Cymraeg/Saesneg at Theatr Cymru in Mold on Friday (which was why I was talking about (or trying to talk about) Montagues in the first place).
The reason I was talking about R&J at all was because we're going to see a bilingual cymraeg/saesneg version on Friday.
I said 'Romulans' when I meant 'Montagues'. How's your Wednesday going?
I once met a congregation who said of their vicar 'you know she takes her budgie camping', which sounded like a euphemism but turned out to be true.
