The musings of an ordinary sort of God-bothering curate and educator from Yorkshire, God's own country. Sometimes I think I am in a parallel universe as I ponder why some Christians seem so wilfully theologically illiterate.

Joyce and Lillian
Every Saturday my beloved and I go to our little cafe during the usual Saturday chores. We are creatures of habit as are the others who tend to be there at the same time.

Inevitable the other window table is taken by Joyce and Lillian, two ladies, agewise on the older edge of completely indeterminate. They give the impression not so much of being lifelong friends, but of two aquaintances who have given up trying to shake each other off. Being a little on the hard of hearing spectrum their conversations tend to be held at a volume somewhat above the norm.

We're going to Evita in January.
Oh really? Will it be warm there then?

What? What? Of course Evita is warm, it´s always been that way, and even HOT when first visited at the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion in Los Angeles a million Seasons ago. I can feel the sun shining from within!
