Accidents can happen



...and very nearly did this morning.  It is NEVER a good idea to give the thurible known as "Big Aggie" to a wee celebrant!!!  Luckily, I was trained on the "Diocesan Bucket" at St Ninian's Pollokshields and can handle the big beggar!  The sermon seemed to go OK, but the stand in organist chose what I can only describe as the only dirge tune in the hymnal for "At the Name of Jesus".  It meant to be a real "Can Belto" hymn to send the punters out on a high.  We got a mimsy, insipid piece of mush fit only for aged spinsters and woolly minded pantheists (lay or ordained).  "Bore it up triumphant" - mair like "bored it out of triumph".  Still it was quite fun.
