Just as a matter of interest, could you advise me which of two meetings I should go to, which clash in my diary. Should I go to the Property Committee or should I go to the Knitting Group?
Please give reasons for your answer.

Knitting, definitely. If things go wrong with your buildings, you will be skilled enough to knit yourself a new cathedral.
Have you never heard of multi-tasking? Bring your knitting to the Property Committee, and you can rattle up a sock or two while you count the heads of the Canon 35 defaulters rolling by.
I too have a property meeting today at noon – I will borrow some knitting (the Anglicare ladies always sit and knit whilst giving out the food) and ‘pretend’ to knit during the meeting – I will post the reactions/responses later today (Oz time). It might help with your decision.
Of course one could always knit during the Property meeting; as it can be a good meditation & a way of getting another dimension!
This is an easy one.
Tell the property folks you’re going to the knitting meeting and the knitting folks you are going to the property meeting. Stay at home, feet up, large g&t.
I could go to the Property meeting for you cos I could do with some teaching on the subject. It being another thing Tisec didn’t teach us.
Knitting group is always good for mutual pastoral care. Too good to miss.
As this is taxing our collective wisdom, I think this issue might also be tackled by asking WWSiahgD?
(What Would Solomon-in-all-his-glory Do?)
I suspect he might ask why a Provost feels the need to be at either a knitting meeting or a property meeting and also why the people at either expect him to turn up.
– Mother Ruth, are you claiming that TISEC taught you to knit?
Ooooh ! ‘Tis now past – wha’ di’ you do ? – the suspense is ghastly ! – Do tell – Pleeeeeeez…..
No, Tisec did not teach me to knit, or anything else much. It was my granny.
As a fellow member of the knitting group, and indeed a former member of the bum-numbingly tedious Property group, I can report that Father Provost did appear at knitting group, without knitting, made his apologies and left after a (good) while.
Personally I feel he had MadPriest’s solution in mind, but found the knitters’ gossip just too much to resist.
Anyway, I bet Fr Provost can’t knit socks.
