chaletianHow do, chaps. Firstly, what’s with this whole clergy rawring at female bishops? What possible reason could there be for saying women can’t be bishops? Arsemonkeys, say I.
Secondly, I wanted to apologise generally for being totally incommunicative recently and ignoring everyone (except Katie, who doesn’t get that luxury) and being a bit crap. Personally, I blame working in radiology in the evenings and TV. Maybe the other way round, thinking on’t… Anyway, I will try to be better.
Thirdly, my hair is looking particularly splendid today. I will be getting it cut before we go to France, but not short, do not fret. Just a bit of a trim and a shape.
Fourthly, thank you to people for expressing sympathy about Grandma (sorry, that sounds dreadfully stilted!). She was very ill at the end, and I don’t think any of us are hugely weeping-sad, but it’s still woeful. The funeral is next Tuesday. Actually, it will be the first one I’ve ever been to, which is weird. The last person to die in the family (excluding Great Aunt Margaret, whom I didn’t really know that well) was GG (my great-grandmother) when I was 11, and my parents wouldn’t take us to the funeral. Heigh ho, anyway, that’s got nothing to do with anything.
Fifthly, we’re going to see Candide tomorrow, which I’m very excited about!! And next week it’s Hancock at le cinema, ditto. And we saw Major Barbara last week, on a whim, and that was really good. The motto of one of the main characters was “Unashamed”, and Katie and I have adopted it for FT, as it is peculiarly appropriate to our household.
Sixthly (as an addendum), interest has been expressed (OK, by Lorraine, but I want to share) in my newfound comic-reading habits. Thus far I have read Watchmen, V for Vendetta, vols 1&2 of Buffy Season 8, vols 1&2 of Y: The Last Man, vol 1 of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (didn't like it much), vol 1 of Hellboy and Bite Club. They rock.
