Once again I have two events at the same time today. It’s all my fault obviously.
Retiring from active ministry seems to have made me busier than usual.
The phone is also ringing rather a lot.
I am touched by the concern for my well being...lots of people are assuming the worst , that I’m ill or under strain of some kind.
I keep reassuring people that I’m fine...no need to worry because I’m not any of those...I am just old. Most people gasp when I reveal just how old. I am told I’m wearing well! So that’s reassuring I suppose.
I think I’ve got most of my Christmas presents now. They just need wrapping.
I haven’t started the cards yet but they are out, waiting to be written.
Time is speeding by.
So this morning I must rearrange my diary yet again.
Looming up ahead is the service to celebrate my retirement but I’m not sure that "celebrate " is the right word here.
Advent Sunday has arrived very quickly this year.
I have now had several people on the phone explaining their absence but wishing me well.
If I could I would dodge the whole thing..just quietly disappear from view..but this seems impossibly right now.
So I’d better get on with it..starting with rearranging the two clashing events this morning....
