I made it

...at last, to the postponed retreat that was b*ggered up by my back seizing up. It was beautiful, relaxing and tasty (the food there is to die for). I read two novels I'd brought with me, and a spirituality book (by Metropolitan Anthony Bloom) I got from their fantastic library.

I slept a lot, read a lot, sat in the garden a lot, prayed a bit, cried a bit and came back feeling generally refreshed. However the multitudinous tasks that still await me on my return don't seem any easier. There just seem to be more of them.

In other news, Genius Brat found his pencil case at school, though with most of its contents missing. I took care to inform him that I had prayed for him to find it, though I'm not quite sure whether this is likely to give him a healthy view of prayer.
