And lo…..

….upon the tenth week from the market day whence the exchange of shekels and groats did occur, there was a coming of the bearer of burdens and he brought forth the legs appointed unto the chair. He was James of the House of Coatbridge. And our hearts were exceedingly glad and our countenance was lifted up, for behold the chair was made whole in the eyes of the Lord.

Elsewhere, the neighbours popped through for a BBQ and I let slip that I’m coming out of retirement to drive the school bus two hours a day, five days a week.
