Monday and Tuesday are always quiet days in the church shop.

 

Okay, someone would be filling up the vending machine, after a busy weekend, but, apart from a few lost souls sitting in the church, things would be pretty quiet.

For that ever happy soul Father Patrick it could be a chance to get in a bit of extra praying but, no, he was cooking up bacon and eggs in the presbytery kitchen. This really put old Mrs. Harvey's nose out of joint because it was her kitchen, her special sanctuary. When her chores were done, she liked to sit quietly in there with a cuppa and a biscuit. The last thing she needed was this hyper priest dancing around and leaving a big mess. 

"Shouldn't you be saying the rosary or tidying the alter?" she asked sarcastically.

"No! It's Tuesday! I is cookin' up a breakfast feed Mrs. Harvey." he joyously replied.

"But aren't you expecting a visit from the primary school?"

"No. They always come on a Wednesday."

He continued to bang around.

"Where's the bacon kept?"

"Ah, if there is any, it will be in the fridge. Where do you think I'd put it?"

Robert was driving around the Eastbourne bays. It was raining and he was listing to Brent Horn on a podcast. Brent was the brother of the famous Trent. Unlike his brother, he had not found Catholicism but was still a Presbyterian. Robert chuckled as he drove and found Brent's Presbyterian ideas amusing. It felt good for his Catholic soul. He imagined Marie laughing in Heaven.

Peter was out of bed and sat drinking a coffee. The weather wasn't bad but, as sometimes happened, his mind went back to the great Whangarei storm and the damage it had caused.

This was something he still struggled to get past. He let his mind drift over to blogging. He needed a topic for today. He decided to take a look at Richard's Bass Bag*. That often gave him good ideas. How he wished he had the talent to write posts like he read over there! He wondered why those skills weren't encouraged in 3P.

Richard (of RBB) sat at his computer. He wasn't needed at Nuova Lazio High School today. That meant that housework and practice would get done.  He also had a pumpkin to cut up. It would be a busy day.
