Sunday Night Blues

 

Fraises update: Mattman is in full GCSE swing with his German oral tomorrow und mein Jojo ist in Rom. It's hole in the whole time again and the Irish exile candle is lit! So here are some Sunday night yellows to cheer us all up. Surely Easter will come soon...

Sunday Night Blues

It's October- orange is the new blue!

Sunday Night Blues

 I'd like first to clarify that I'm not at all feeling burned out on religion! This passage was the closing invitation at tonight's open air evening service, part of the village's "summer" fair this weekend. I'm going to dedicate it to mums everywhere ending their summer with not a whole lot of energy for the term ahead!

 "Are you tired? Worn out? (Burned out on religion?) Come to me.

 Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest.

 Walk with me and work with me- watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.

 I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you.

 Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."

Matthew 11:28-30 from Eugene Peterson's wonderful paraphrase. Have an unforced week, fine folk x

Sunday night blues

It's been a gloriously blue sky sunny day today and there is no school tomorrow! So tonight's Sunday blues really are just Sunday blues and not Sunday Blues at all! The boys came willingly, for the first time since they were much smaller boys, to see some of our annual Festival of Fools this afternoon, and now we are packing rucksacks for a day in the mountains tomorrow. Hope you're all enjoying your weekend too x

ps Apologies that I can't seem to comment on anyone's blog- all my comments are coming back as undelivered mail. Any and all advice most gratefully received!

I think my Sunday Night Blues are beinning to shake off gradually- too much late-night catching up with BBC's current Woman in White adaptation!  I've only read Wilkie Collins' Moonstone- is W in W a very feminist book, or is it just this C21st TV interpretation?

 I did wonder last night if it would be more creative to take that phrase literally- so here were last night's blues! I didn't wander too far from my dusk-time chair.
