I am out teaching this week. A couple of teachers are off, actually 3 were on Friday.
It was a very frosty start to the day, but then the sun came out! Sad...some of the children did not know what it was................
I have car problems. One of the rear brakes is not fully releasing, so I cannot drive far or the brake disc heats up too much. The earliest I can get the car into the garage is Friday.
We are all off to Edinburgh on Saturday to see Cats. We are all looking forward to that. In March we are going with the parish to see "The 39 Steps " at the Theatre Royal. It has had very good reviews.
Sunday was the First of Lent. The newspapers are still full of the Pope's decision to resign. I have also been reading a number of Catholic Bloggers. The reaction to this momentous decision is very mixed. Some are understanding, some bemused, some afraid, some angry.
The speculation has begun of course. Benedict has had trouble with a powerful cardinal. Benedict is fed up fighting the politics of the Curia. Benedict is dying.
It is a confusing time. I wonder why he never was seen presiding at an Extraordinary Rite? Why were there sometimes mixed messages with regard to the SSPX. Why did cardinals and Bishops making statements at variance with Church Teaching seem not to be called to account?
I suppose that all we can really do is keep praying, trusting and not worrying. God knows best. He is in charge. His Will will be done.
these photos were taken at St Andrews in Fife a couple of years ago. Atmospheric? I think I manged to catch the light.
