Dies Non

JottingsVery disappointed that road and weather conditions prevented our joining the congregation at St James' Littlehampton last night, and wondering whether our Garden Party should be rebilled as a Wader and Wellie Event. We are having three days of relaxed choir observance or Dies Non to allow us more time getting ready. The kitchen is inhabited by floury shapes peering into the oven and muttering darkly about batch cookery, while two forlorn souls battle the wind and rain in the garden to hack back the jungle which seems to have sprung up overnight. Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun, but mad nuns seem to prefer midsummer monsoons. Strange, rather.
