It seems to me that one rarely sees a priest who happens to be a woman happen to wear a maniple.
Actually, one doesn’t see many people wear the maniple these days, for reasons that I’ve never quite understood.
Why, when one does see such a thing, does it seem invariably to be sported on the left forearm of a priest who happens to be a man?
Your thoughts please.
I have had Garlic Mash three times in the past week, and Garlic and Horseradish on a steak last night.
I do not have a cold, so maybe it will work for you – or at least act as a preventative when am next at St Mary’s.
Kelvin, have you tried mulled wine?
Sachets with the mulling spices in them shouldn’t be too hard to get hold of (try Peckhams). They look like little teabags. Add a dash of orange juice, maybe float a slice on top as well. : )
It might not do much for your cold, but at least it’ll help you sleep, which is what you need right now — rest and fluids.
Also worth trying is a Hot Toddy.
Hope you feel better soon.

Garlic’s not a bad idea. I’ve always found if I have a hot, garlic soaked, curry when I’ve got the lurgy I feel better.
What you need is a hot curry followed by a hot bath!
This man cold of yours is lingering on a bit or are you “milking” this illness??!!
What is a man cold? Don’t women get them too?
It seems to be a widely held view amongst women that men make much of their sufferings when they get a cold.
There is an urban dictionary definition here.
There are some who say that the female equivalent of a mancold is the flu, but I could not possibly comment.
If Ms Asphodeline is fed up of hearing about my poor state of health, presumably it will be quite a while before we hear anything about her own on livejournal.
Haha, you know I’ll probably get the office lurgy now?!
I hope you feel better soon. There’s nothing worse than a man with a cold

Whatever else one might be waiting for in the post, there is always the joy of guessing how many copies of the Code of Canons of the Scottish Episcopal Church will arrive. Despite having been delighted with receiving a copy last week, there was more to come today. Last week, I merely received a copy…
Every year, I hear people begin to moan about it getting earlier and earlier. It used to be the start of November. Then the end of October. Now, even sooner. The appearance of the first Christmas promotions in the shops. I’ve tended to join in. Can the retailers not wait?
How lovely to read the following quote from Sir Roy Strong, sometime director of all lovely things at the V & A: "I want to make people realise that churches change the whole time. We are so conditioned to look at churches solely as architecture. I want people to see what went on and goes…
