Sniff!

Why is it that whenever I book leave I am ill? Answers on a postcard please. Have spent most of the week recovering from what I can only describe as extreme tiredness. Made the usual sensible pledges this week. Take a proper day off when you go back to work etc.... I wonder how long it will last. Sadly went to give the Last Rites to one of my favourite parishioners last night Ronnie Quinn who is dying of cancer. Ronnie is one of lifes quiet people an eccentric who in his younger years before he moved into Cathedral View retirement home had a love of piling his flat up with all sorts of rubbish each to his own. But he was a man of true faith and I knew that he was truly ill when he missed the Eucharist for more than two Sundays. But what a privilage to see him at the end and what a true old gent. A man who despite his earthly limitation knew much more about God in Jesus and the Christian faith than many who think they know far better. As he prepares for his end let us pray it is peaceful and he does not suffer for too long.
Spent most of today feeling dreadful with a very bad cold and trying to ignore several work related messages that are best ignored!!!!
