Thamkyou S,ilvio. I know that you understand.

Thankyou Anhelyna - yes, at last.

This morning Fr E spoke on Forgiveness as was in the Gospel Reading. As he only spoke for a couple of minutes or so, he did not have time to expound properly, and I ended up feeling bad. So we took him up on it by asking a question, and making a point. He was so very good, and said what I had aways believed - that you can only forgive those who yse and abuse you if they ask for forgiveness. And he stated that he knew I would forgive in that circumstance - which is true.

He then said it is. OK to cry (I can't help it almost, at the moment, but then feel bad about it after) and that whatever comes, comes, right now. He then said that we know where they are. He too gad watched the News yesterday, knowing I would be going through it. Infeel bad at being so raw, but Fr B last night told me that to,keep our feelings from God and not allowing themto come out, in tears, is to puta barrier between us and God. Mthat helped me SO MUCH. I was brought up a Stoic. Inhave found rekease and healing from that insight. God bless Fr B - and all of them.

Dan - they may be looking at it from a different point of view from you.

One thing to remember - you have to be able to get at BOTH sides of the bed to change all the linen comfortably and easily. Beds often look better when against a wall - but you still need to get access.

Well I got me results from the promotion.

I came 37th in the order of merit out. I'm kind of in Limbo with that as there's not 37 positions up for grabs. Mybe 15-20.

I am on a panel for 12 months so if a position becomes available, the next person in the order of merit gets the job.

No man's land. :)

But its better than coming 57th.

Heading out now for some after work drinks. See you later folks...
