As I've said, I didn't have a great week last week, I must confess I'm struggling this week for different reasons. It's the last two weeks of the school year in Scotland, this means that as well as the usual round of residents and other meetings I attend, I also get invited to loads of school shows, school leavers services, prize-givings etc. Nearly all of these come with food attached, I have managed to be "good" and resist the heaving plates of egg sandwiches and sausage rolls, but sometimes either the temptation is too much, or the desire to conform wins out.
On top of this I'm off for dinner with the Papal Nuncio tonight, it won't be a private affair, possibly 150 or so others are going to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the foundation of the Diocese. I know I can fore-swear alcohol, I'll have to see about the rest though.
But now the victory. For ages I've been left with no choice but to buy my suits and business atire from the "Fat Boy Shop" aka High and Mighty, at outrageous prices. However, yesterday, I tried on one of my old shirts, admittedly one with a 19" collar, and it fitted. So if nothing else it is a reminder that good times do await.
Hopefully! |
