[Magdalen] Prayer Service

[sally.davies at gmail.com]

Bah.We wired up the computer and are watching the Women's March event. Some
outstanding speeches from amazing people.

I did catch the start of the Cathedral service when they played God Save
the Queen. Yes - I know Americans think it's My Country something something
but this is, unfortunately, incorrect.

As the service looked more like a coronation than an actual prayer service
it was appropriate, all we needed was Zadok the Priest and we are A for
Away.

The March, on the other hand, is "we the people" taking charge, or could
be. I'm loving it!!

I have tried to knit a "pussy hat" and almost got there but have run out of
wool a few rows short. I wil finish it tomorrow if the store is open
because if it's not over over there, it's not over over here either.
