My house looks like a pop-up Christmas shop. I seem to have become the craft hub for several generations of creative recyclers. We are making things for some charity stalls in December so it will only get worse over the next fortnight. Poor TP!
Today four grandchildren are arriving to dress the biggest tree and no doubt it will be vastly entertaining for five minutes, and then the fun will begin. I still have not worked out how to discourage toddlers from taking everything within their reach off the tree and posting ornaments in interesting places. I suspect I will still be finding things come Easter. Hohoho ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)

I would be thrilled by that thought. And laughs at Easter create family stories, especially if said toddlers grow into stodgy teens and adults.

New Bishop is now consecrated and installed, no significant hitches, everyone seems very happy. First celebration of the Eucharist by him at the Cathedral this morning, in brand new Mitre & Cope with polished Crosier, again everything went well, the conclusion of the service being dancing led by the Bishop of the Torres Straits. One exhausted Dean finally home from the office, looking forward to a well earned Monday sleep in.
Thanks to God that everything went well, even the weather was as kind as it can be at this time of year.

What next! With just over a week left of school for her, Miss M fell at school and has broken her left wrist.now all plastered and in a sling. She couldn't get through her only school term this year without some extra drama.

Some confusion now. It appears thumb may also be involved but I don't know if that is in addition to wrist or instead of wrist. Bandage extends to elbow.

My son just sent a picture through of Miss M, no plaster or bandages, doing thumbs up with both hands. Perhaps there was too much swelling when she hurt it for a proper diagnosis.

Hi Rexory, glad you caught it! Yes, the last big service of the year, the 40th Anniversary of Cyclone Tracy, broadcast nationally on ABC Local Radio. It was great to see the Cathedral packed, not with the usual suspects, but will all sorts of people from all over the City.
So, having now organised a consecration of a Bishop and then the Cyclone Tracy Remembrance service, the Cathedral Parish Council is giving me a week's rest. Blessing be upon them!

This is a crosspost with Eccless, but wanted to add it here for our more immediate AU/NZ friends and colleagues.
OK, I know we are already at the 2nd Sunday in Advent - but today we blessed a new altar frontal, burse, veil, chasuble and stole for our little part of the kingdom in Granville (NSW, Aus.) Following new trends (and fortunately not having to worry about such things as authorized colours), ours are in a deep midnight blue, with even darker blue velvet orphreys, edged with silver. On the altar frontal and the ends of the stoles there appears the Advent/nativity star with the Southern Cross as part of the design. Will have pics up soon.
The vestments were made locally by Judith Couley of YJude Vestments (and thanks to BannerLady for suggesting her)- she did a marvelous job under very straining personal circumstances. Judith is very professional, which is why we already have a green altar frontal made by her. At Christmas we will have a new white frontal with a Chi Rho and Crown for the emblem. A passion red set has been designed for 2015, suitable for martyrs and passiontide. Will advise when pics for this are available.
Next week we will be blessing the dalmatics, tunicles and cope which will then complete the new set. Pics then! :-)

Hello EL. Judith does excellent work, and it sounds like a stunning Altar Frontal. Oh, that we had such things in the deep north!

Zappa
Mother-in-law passed away yesterday in hospital peacefully. Something of a relief. Memorial service won't be until next week.
Everyone seems OK, Mrs C has 2 weeks off work so is trying to stay calm in the midst of all the busyness. House guests seem likely next week, as father-in-law has sensibly decreed he won't be having any.
We've soldiered on through kids' presentation events this week. All got an award or two, and I find Biggest's "First in Music" and "Best AFL player" an amusing combo as he leaves this school.
I took Biggest for a meeting with the music department at his new college today. Seems he'll be playing piano for the Big Band - both an honour and a stretch for him. New Jazz piano tutor lined up.
There are many things like this that we have to keep doing at this busy time of year, so my job tomorrow is to check we haven't missed anything. At least we can now plan what can and can't be done.
