I knew it

Yesterday I spent four hours in a church kitchen; preparing and serving salads, making coffees, setting and clearing tables, washing up and putting crockery and cutlery away.

Today I spent two hours in a church kitchen; preparing and serving salads, making coffees, setting and clearing tables, washing up and putting crockery and cutlery away.

Difference? Different church, different workmates, different pattern on the teatowels. Got deliberately soaked with washing up water by a different man for making precisely the same supportive comment ;-)

Oh, and I played the organ beforehand. Went well, apart from "At the Name of Jesus" for which I bribed several members of the congregation to sing extra loud. This seemed to cover the fact that I can't play octaves and chords very well.... indeed I was complimented by several people after the service. One of the benefits of worshipping in a church where everyone else is over seventy and deaf.
