Been busy baking bread all afternoon - made a ciabatta and I am now making rolls for tomorrow. The roadshow of Sarah leaving for Costa Rica rolls in to our house tomorrow for a Grand Prix Farewell party. £60 was spent on what? Dribble. Sorry nibbles. But then as has become really clear as a man my best move is to make myself scarce and to shut up and proffer no comment.
Had a couple of really tortured nights as I dwell on things spiritual. I am struggling trying to really get to grips with Catholicism as a viable alternative to my present presbyterianism. I found a wonderful sight where I could find all the materials to build a little altar and shrine in my study. I think I would like that. The C of S is all talk and no devotion. I want the devotional aspect and always have I am a fish out of water. When I look back at diaries from 76 - 80 I felt the same way. Can I really make the commitment to do this? I don’t know. Should I? You see that is my spiritual torment. Quite enjoying it all though as I have lots to agonise over and study and think about and chew the fat in prayer.

Isn't Catholicism quite different from your religious background? What is making you want to switch?
Just curious. Hope things are going well.
The bread sounds wonderful.
Yes, been a tense hormonally-challenged woman, by that's all over now. Looking back, I think I wanted to strike sparks off someone. This is why men have sheds. Very good idea to bake; great comfort in familiar tasks.
I am not religious, as you know, but if I did decide to be, I would embrace Catholicism. Such glamour - bells and smells. I once attended mass at Chartres, and it was a heady experience. The Rev- my late brother - was high Anglican, and constructed an `oratory' wherever we lived. Perhaps the C of S is a little drab?
Hope you having a great day; bestest wishes to Sarah.
