Well, I suspect there is a lot of praying. Some praying to be Pope and others praying for the opposite (for themselves or for others). I can’t comment on the HS, but I suspect she would be very busy.

Are they the same thing? Power and politics?

It depends if ‘beautiful’ is camp.
However it was about power. Is that camp?

I presume so. I’ve only ever bought my wheels complete. Tom will know as he is the one doing bearings

Duck tape is good, and fixes pretty much everything.
I was once on a course where first aid skills were being tested and one of the other people produced a roll of duck tape and successfully argued that this was all that was needed (he was a doctor). He passed.

The boss’s PA sent me the request.
I have a reputation for being difficult that I am trying hard to shake, but this feels like a lose-in-every-way sort of situation

2/2 airline promptly broke my chair and I had to use duck tape (yes I had packed it) to stick it back together.
Good luck with your trip!

At the airport once, security staff demanded to know why I had a full tool kit tucked in the back pocket of my chair. I had to patiently explain that chairs break and need fixing.
The incredulity at me a disabled woman fixing anything until I explained I had built the chair. Toolkit came with me1/2

I want to go to the work event, I don’t want to cause a fuss, but I’m unhappy at being made to sign this as it suggests there will be no care taken over food and there will be no comeback.
I would be afraid to eat anything. Do I cancel (and incur the pushback from my boss)?

I’m more bothered by the extra limbs, and the slightly sinister earrings

Thanks, so far so good. Tea on its way.
Hope yours is good too.

Thank you. My tradition is interested in helping people access faith and removing the things that stop us from doing that. We don’t always get it right, none of us can. But we try to be inclusive as possible.

When I hold ashing services (not every year by any shot) I offer to do the back of the hand as an alternative. Most opt for that option. Less crossing of boundaries. Faith shouldn’t harm.

Took me two goes at both my car and bike licences. Nerves are my undoing, so second time around I do so much better. Hope you get a slot soon.

Certainly is, but we haven’t managed to get it on the way home 😆

Yes, if only. Logic doesn’t get a look in, no matter how well you talk to yourself.

That was my thought too 😊

It gets a little worse every day. I’m so sorry

My mother demanded to know why we didn’t want a wedding cake, ‘but why don’t you want one, is it because you are lesbian?’
‘No mum, it’s because I’m allergic’.
Parents can be a challenge.
Congratulations 🥂

I had been doing so well and worked up to 60lengths regularly and was beginning to see a difference in muscle tone. Never mind. Painkillers for the win today.
Thank God for a day off tomorrow.

Moving around with tea is solved by travel mugs with lids. I also found a mini rucksack on my back around the house was good for carrying things (but not dinner…). Particularly good for transferring from upstairs to downstairs and back.
