Where did 2 weeks go?!
*slightly anguished howl*
So it's back to work(ing from home) on Monday. I really don't know how it got to be the end of the hols already.
But the house is clean, I've nearly finished watching S2 of The Witcher (<3 Geralt <3), and I've made progress with Okami. I call that a successful break!
I was looking for some simple liturgy I can use at home to give some structure to my prayer time. I was aware of 'The Earth Cries Glory' by Steven Shakespeare (who happens to be a friend) but wasn't sure if it would meet my needs. I tried the Anglican Cathedral bookshop last week but they didn't have any liturgy books at all - lots of stuff ABOUT prayer but that wasn't what I wanted. I looked online at the St Paul's bookshop list and saw another book I thought might do but I wanted to actually flick through the pages to get a sense of it. So, I visited the actual shop yesterday - again, lots of stuff ABOUT prayer, and books of readings and reflections that, again, weren't what I wanted. Then on about the fifth scan of the shelves looking for inspiration, 'TECG' suddenly appeared as if by magic! I had a little flick through and the liturgies are all really short but, obviously, adding readings/music/spoken intercessions of my own/silent prayer expands the time. The book is split into 8 seasons following the pattern of the Celtic year and there are four liturgies for each day - morning, midday, evening and night. My plan is to mostly use the night one but I'll see if I can work the others in.
And now I'm going to start my weekend :)
