I was in church for 20 seconds to-day

We were all going to go to church to-day - as a family. But son wasn't happy with the trousers he was wearing, and although we found a pair that he considered just acceptable, he had by then decided that he wasn't going to church. But the Sunday School was hosting a picnic after the service, and our bag of food was still sitting on our driveway, so we had to take the food down, so that Lesley and Hannah would have something to eat. On our way, we noticed that the vandals had had another go at our garden fence, so I decided that the simplest explanation to offer as to why we weren't staying for the service was that I should go to B&Q for some stronger nails. Which, in fact, was the most sensible course of action.

So I spent about 20 seconds in the church, handing over the food. And then we drove to B&Q - which was pretty busy.
