Unexpected and very supportive phone call from The Dean today. At least I'm not forgotten by the Diocese! I think he was a bit surprised that I'm working on despite the doctor's line and his strict orders to stay off work, but , really, the hassle of arranging cover in this part of the Diocese, with vacancies etc already stretching the small number of spare clergy we have, is just not worth it. It's maybe not good for me to sit and contemplate my navel anyway.

I had a laugh on Saturday night. My hypnotherapist always gives me a CD with our session on it to play over and over when I get home. Certainly helps sleeplessness, this stuff! However, a technical glitch gave me the opportunity to listen to a hypnotism of someone who had problems with public speaking. Think I cracked that one a while ago! I await my replacement!
