If I'd have wanted to, I could have watch the Pope's first mass, live. For a while, it was the BBCs top story on the web page. I've always wanted to watch a mass, it must be really interesting. Being brought up by Christians (Methodists) sacrament was the monthly ritual that, if you attended, you had 'made it' to the very top of the faithful tree. Methodists seem to exclude youngsters from this ceremony until they are old enough to understand the significance of it, but by doing that it introduces a sort of undeserved reverence. When I was growing up, I was always a little apprehensive about what it was like eating someones flesh and drinking blood, but I needn't have worried, even the wine was non-alcoholic (other faiths may vary). I won't put down in print what I really think about religion and Methodists in particular, I don;t want to upset my Mother if she ever chances upon this blog. Not that that's likely, but she is now the proud owner of a laptop which replaced her ageing desktop I bought for her a number of years ago. She even managed to send me an email, although it stopped working a couple of days later for some unknown reason - probably because she didn't know how to turn it on. She toyed with the idea of buying an iPad, but luckily her best friend got one first and she realised a laptop was a better bit of kit for her circumstances. I don't think there can be many people who just have an iPad without some sort of traditional PC - desktop or laptop.
I managed a few miles running last night. It was good to get out without raining, and hopefully get the same done tonight.
