Oh the pressure, oh the deadlines!
The Monk is goofing off. He should be sorting, chucking, and packing, but what he is in fact doing is taking some time out! The business of sorting and chucking is quite draining - especially as you rediscover things that remind you of better times or places. Events or milestones in the kids' development and much more. Enough! It is time for a coffee break and a short blogspot!
Actually, he is also trying desperately to think of something intelligent to say in a paper he must write (by tomorrow!) for the Parish Magazine, and of things he can say in a sermon for Easter Sunday Evensong. So far - writers block!
Oh well, the car needs its annual servicing and health check. Perhaps something will come during the wait for that to happen. Divine inspiration required, methinks!

One day I was washing the dishes at my parents' house. I was maybe 8 or 9 years old at the time. I decided to stop washing halfway through and sat down at the table. My dad asked me why I stopped. I told him I wanted to take a break, that I'd return to the dishes and finish up after a 5-minute break. Dad pondered this for a bit and then said, 'well, it's certainly okay for you to take a break!'
Obviously I never forgot that. No matter what we're doing, we can always take a 5-minute break from it. :-)
