rosa_heartlilyI had a WFH day to ease me back in because husband's bath board was being delivered. It's really easy to put on and take off and I'm even thinking of using it myself as a bath rack >D
Amongst the gazillion work-related emails in my inbox were several from EPC, who I actually think I should rename Tigger because I felt bounced by the emails just as much as them! Luckily, they're off this week, so I get a chance to absorb what was done last week. I've also set up a meeting with our BI experts so they can take me through it all and explain it nice and slowly. And I can then pass the info on to the PMs, again in a way that allows space for questions.
I want to make it clear I love Tigger and their enthusiasm, and the fact that they've done so much with all this functionality in such a short space of time. I'd still be poking vaguely at it, knowing it COULD be really useful but not able to make any sense of it. However, I hope my approach to sharing the outcomes of all that work is slightly easier for colleagues to digest.
My 'writing time' this morning was spent editing the Parish Profile. I want to take the garden analogy and run it through the whole document, which will take a level of thought I don't normally have first thing in the morning. But Thursday dinner time is currently free, so I'm thinking headphones on, thinking cap engaged, let's see what we can do in an hour!
No gaming or telly, tonight. I'm sticking to my resolution to be settling down to sleep around 10pm rather than 11pm, or even 10.30pm. Switching the laptop off earlier will also allow more reading time.
Today's readings have nudged me to reconsider the Resurrection. I believe in a cycle of life and death, constant renewal. And I've been part of a resurrection story myself at my church, which we brought back from the brink of closure 17 years ago. But the physical resurrection of Jesus...? That's always left me scratching my head. Although, as our vicar said on Sunday, living with the mystery of it all is sort of the point! I don't say I believe it didn't happen, I just say I don't believe it did. Talk about hedging your bets! Not to mention splitting hairs... But I'm starting to think I need to explore it all a little more thoroughly. And through other people's writing, not just inside my own head.
