A gentle, lazy day today with only one service and everything running like clockwork. Well, almost everything - fortunately just in time the organist noticed that the words of the psalm were in a different translation to that of the congregation. After a brief flurry and flapping of word and music sheets, the situation was resolved and the church was saved from sounding like the Tower of Babel.
Colds and snuffles were the order of the day in the much-reduced choir (those who hadn't already succumbed to the worst excesses of lurgy*), so fortunately we were only required to sing a good old favourite which didn't need us to try too hard: 'Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring' (Bach).
*I've just noticed that the word 'liturgy' comprises 'lurgy' and 'i.t.' Not sure what the deep spiritual significance of that is, if any. But it might come in handy as a crossword clue some time.
