It would appear that Holly is very glad that the IKEA bags have not only been brought back from church, but have been emptied, allowing her to reclaim one of them as "bed of the week".

Still need to properly sort out all the stuff that came home as I now can't see the desk in my 'junk room cum home office' for books, papers, CDs and random objects used for sermon/all age talk illustrations!

Visits arranged - tick

Vestry cleaned - tick

Admin tasks completed - tick

Programme of work identified - tick

Cat-sitters lined up - tick

OK, what have I forgotten?

It has struck me how odd it is going to be having the potential for a (mostly) 9-5 life for the next three months and that I only have one preach to prepare for.  I am looking forward to listening to other preachers and seeing how other churches style their worship.

So, I think that today can be legitimately a gentle day, with some food shopping and other mundane tasks!
