Finished yesterday early (about 2:30am) and started a bit later than usual (about 6:45am) with the daily office and then off to buy comestibles for the Chapter meeting and a discussion on sustainability and a cute little graph that maps financial against missional (I'll show you tomorrow). From that rushed back to do a funeral service in church followed by an interment (Autumn appears to finally be with us) and back to QTH (Amateur radio speak for 'home') and a meeting to arrange another funeral. From that rushed back out and visited hospital in Sutton Coldfield, picked up No. ! child on way back and then in for Kid's Club - played pool, Xbox 360 and made toast for the kids who came - excellent stuff or what?
Back to the Vicar's Palace and had a night off with Mrs. Vicarage and now, having send children No. 3 & 4 off to bed (1 doing school stuff and 2 tinkering with wireless headphones) and time for a recap on the day - evening office, tea and an early night.
Thank you to those who prayed for the 'Mission-Shaped Introduction - we had twenty-five turn up for the first night and there were a few churches from within the Deanery (and without) represented, which bodes well for the future of the Church and the hope of the Gospel for the lost!
Thanks to those who read these scribblings and the prayer for those whom I seek to serve, and for me in my paucity of . . just about everything! And for those who take heart, find a glimmer of God and a hope in their own lives - thanks for coming on this journey with me. May God bless you richly :-)

Golly! You didn't get much sleep last night. Hope you get more tonight.
you need to be the next 'Rev' or a fly on the wall documentory about C of E Vicars, I will write to the BBC......Have you heard the next series of rev is out soon? with this and a new B&Q what could be better?
Thanks both - Last night was a long one in that I hit the sack by 10:30(ish) and woke at 05 something or other so well rested.
Not sure I'd make for good TV and have been waiting for Rev to hit screen since end of last series. Not than bother by B&Q but Maplins and John Lewis (we have someone selling Apple here!!!) make life more palatable - now, when will we get a magic shop (Be a good thing if we didn't as spend too much on magic).
