Well, no need to cry, and no party either, but I turn 22 today, and just felt like saying so.
Now, where's the gin?

About Me
- Michael
- I am an Orthodox Christian and a Reader in the Diocese of Great Britain and Ireland, serving with the blessing of His Grace Archbishop Mark. I struggle along, much like most people, but I do what I can, by God's grace. I have a love for the worship of the Orthodox Church - both eastern and western - and long for the day when we have a local Orthodox Church in Britain, giving a single voice and witness of the ancient Faith of these isles to the people of these isles, with their various backgrounds and walks of life.

Happy Birthday! God grant you many years! Have fun with the Psalter!
Thank you! And I shall. Have a happy and holy Pentecost.
Happy Birthday, Michael, and Happy Pentecost!
Leetle M.
Happy Birthday - I knew it was sometime soon, but couldn't remember exactly when. Sorry.
Happy Birthday, and Many Years !
Felicity is really cute :-)
Thank you, everybody!
Ian and Elizabeth, I really like Felicity. She is sitting on the window sill at the moment, now that the sun has died down a little, to get some daylight.
Mark, I believe there is gin aplenty at your residence. (At least, I hope so). ;-)
Don't be sorry, Richard. Thanks so much for the message.
A happy Pentecost back at you Leetle M, and to all who celebrate the Feast today. The temperature here was certainly in keeping with the fire of the Holy Spirit. We saw 30 degrees today! Thank God for the thunderstorms later on in the day.
Michael.
All this gin drinking!
There will soon be more gin in your body than blood. hehe
Well, at some point you need to allow a little blood back into the alcohol stream...
Anyhow, I didn't realise it was your birthday, so a slightly belated "Happy Birthday" to you, and I hope the year ahead brings much happiness.
I found an old plainsong psalter sitting around in our choir vestry a few weeks ago and had a wonderful half hour singing from it (and quietly drooling). Enjoy your St Dunstans Psalter (I'm feeling ever so slightly envious of you!)

Joining in here: all the best today and always.
Thank you all again.
Thanks as well for the carfds and prezzies. Much loved and appreciated. I'll post more soon.

Ian, thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the report.
I must dash off to work now, but I shall post here about this later today. I cannot be certain, but I believe it is Aristibule's blog that has a wealth of helpful information on the Sarum and other British Catholic rites in the archives of his blog.
I'll post more later, but the ceremonial in the rites of York and Sarum (the latter of which spread to most of the English south, Ireland and Scotland) was to bow at the end of the Creed, during the line "and the life of the world to come" and to offer a profound bow (from the waist) as a reverence to the Most Blessed Sacrament. The genuflexion (or 'dropping to one knee', as Blessed Percy Dearmer described it) was continental.
More to come later.
a belated Mnohya Lita to your birthday.
