Apparently very predictable, whenever the word barley is mentioned, I start to sing a song "oats and beans and barley grow" that I recall from some distant past. I thought I'd check out the rest of it on the internet and am horrified to learn that actually it's oats, peas, beans and barley grow and I wasn't even singing the right tune. Some things are perhaps best left alone and not delved into!!
In slightly more relevant news, women in the Anglican church can now become bishops. Well, some women. This news feels a bit distant to me, when once it would have been massively significant. I have friends who are Anglican clergy and am pleased for them, and pleased that another piece of sexism is slowly shifting, but it all feels a bit removed from me somehow.
Meanwhile I had a marvellous time with my friend yesterday. She has a bowl of angel cards by their front door, a lovely idea, and I picked strength, which seems a bit boring, if true!!!
As you can perhaps tell from today's disjointed blog, I'm feeling, well, disjointed. Not sure what's up, got to head to work anyway, where it's likely to be busy as I was off on Friday. There's a cub family cycle ride tonight I'm looking forward to, then a work meeting after that, and I still have over a hundred pages of my book to read at some point - perhaps that's it, having read so much last night I'm still half inhabiting that world? Or maybe we all just need a big hug? Hopefully I'll find a willing recipient today ;)
