My copy of the Rite of Admission to the Dominican Fraternity arrived in the post today. It's beautiful, very simple. Apparently I looked terrified for all of two seconds, then grinned like a loon :-D
"May the Lord bless you(sprinkles the candidate with Holy Water) that you may be granted holiness of life, so that you may preach to others by your good example, and not yourself be rejected."
We've had the most ghastly weather today, sleety and horrible. I dislike sleet because it seems to find all the gaps in your clothing and insert nasty cold wet fingers down the back of your neck.
Mind you, I suspect I was considerably warmer than the woman who I saw at Oxford Circus this evening, who had evidently got up this morning and decided a pair of sequinned black fabric ballet pumps were the most appropriate choice of footwear for the day.
