Last night I was in the minster until 11pm. Tonight I will be in the minster until about 1am, the night after i will be in the minster until about 1am.

But, the Minster is a big spooky building, with hundreds of stair cases and door (that, if your on your own, or just with a minster policeman or verger you can say "whats up there?" and get shown). So....what i'm trying to say...

Last night the Minster was divided into two halfs, the Nave was fully lit and the area around the quire was dark, differeing degrees of darkness though. Once you got to the entrance to the crypt on the North Trancept you were plunged into darkness. and walking through the Minster in darkness with only 3 red sanctury lights glowing and a few dying candles flickering in the t-light holders was imensely spiritual.

It was amazing

I spent the rest of the evening running around with no shoes on.

Tonight is XL, a youth event at the Minster, Jonny Baker is coming with the Labyrinth...which should be fun. Possibly even the first time I walk the labyrinth properly (that means actually dropping the stone that represents my worries in the bucket, instead of walking away with it in my pocket, and it staying there on and off for the next 3 years - i've lost it now, i think it has eyes and a mouth and lives at stoos house....but i' m not sure)
