When I was confirmed, about 50 years ago, we had to choose a saint whose name we would adopt as our "confirmation name", and I chose St Cecilia. She is also on a window in our church. She goes back a long way, to the time of the Roman Empire, I believe.

Got rid of all the boot fair leftovers, apart from Ian's skis, which they couldn't take. So I am still having to stack them up! They are cross-country skis, so they are very long. I may put a card in the village shop! I was going to spend a lot of this week tidying and cleaning...nothing done yet, and I am off to a weekend music festival on Friday till Monday. I am getting clear of my cold, but I am having broken sleep most nights (just keep waking up) and so I am feeling quite tired, and my natural indolence keeps taking over! Mind you, I am good at finding excuses not to do housework!

Michelle, I am thinking of you right now...it is a means to a lovely end!
