Comments on: I am tired… I am weary… but I am also holy today. http://babychaos.wordpress.com/2008/03/23/i-am-tired-i-am-weary/ Things I need to write down, events, jokes, or the type of strange ideas that come to me in the bath...

Next year, you'll have the little one all dressed up in an overly-expensive outfit that baby could care less about, but the other parishioners will eat up. Start shopping now. By the way, my wife was over there for Easter, she spent it at St. Paul's Cathedral. She and her friends had nothing but nice things to say about your countrymen, and she isn't easily impressed. Thanks for taking good care of her. Sounds like the Easter service was enjoyable.

They only have the orchestra on high days and holidays but the standard of choral stuff is always excellent. I should go a lot more often than I do. We'll move soon and then, as I sing hymns accompanied by an organist using one hand and have to endure a tape recorded version of the lords prayer sung to the tune of Amazing Grace by Sir Cliff and the many other monstrosities routinely found in village churches I will realise just how bloody lucky I've been. Magneto, that's how I wanted to spend the morning really, but one of the Mr's friends was playing in the orchestra and as he doesn't go to church muggins here had to do the supportive friend thing. I'm glad I went but at the same time... I'm feeling some little twinges of jealousy... ;-) Cheers BC Geek Lady, yep I’m very lucky with the music round here.

Awesome. thanks for the description. Being the heathen that I am I spent the morning gorging on chocolate and swilling coffee. ‘fancy flavoured smoke.’

I am distinctly jealous of your music, though. Even when our choir picks something good, they show off too much with it.

I gather it's also called a censor... As for being the briquette handler, yeh, I can imagine it's a scream, my brother used to do it. He never quite got the lasso over the head thing going like the guy today although that was probably a good thing at our church the thurible might not have been as durable as the cathedral's - can you imagine if the business end flew off? What about trying the stories with some diagrams...? ;-) Cheers BC Intriguing… but isn’t that just thurible being said by somebody with a lisp?

It's actually a liturgical job I've done, and it is an insane amount of fun. Seriously. Standing up in front of the whole congregation is waaaaay easier when you're the one carrying lit charcoal briquettes. I have a funny story or three about thurifering, but unfortunately they all require some physical acting out. Us Catholics call them thurifers.
