    Confessional Friday:

    Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It has been many years since my last confession.

    I almost always answer the phone on the toilet.

      As in if it rings while you are on the toilet you will answer, or when it rings you usually head to the toilet to answer it there?

      I will never even take my phone in there unless it’s in my handbag and I have to use a public loo, which is very rarely

      Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. I have never ever in my life stepped foot in a church, let alone confess.

      I confess that I make fun of my cat for having an empty nut sack.

        I shall say a prayer for you and your feline. Seriously though, some churches are absolutely gorgeous inside. Check it out sometime.

          Belief is not a requirement for aesthetic appreciation. And thank fuck it’s not

          Ya seriously. So much money and time and artistry went into some of those things, they can be absolutely incredible

            It’s something that we just wouldn’t DO now. It doesn’t matter to us enough to do it now

              We’ve had a couple of new churches go up around our area recently ish. One is a lovely sandstone I think? It’s pretty but not stunning. And the other is a giant shed.

        If you want to really understand the insides of christian churches, check out Margaret Visser’s incredible book The Geometry of Love.

        She looks in depth at an ‘ordinary’ suburban church in Rome, and dissects out the meaning of practically every inch of it. One of the most stunning books I’ve ever read I think - a sort of natural history of churches. I like her other books too.

      hope you know if I sit down in a stall next to you I’m not putting down the firemans blanket and doing my absolute best to make sure your conversation partner hears the “kasploosh” sound.

      Bless me father for I have sinned. I used to call my dog over for pats and rubs, so I could wipe my hands on him. Towels were too far away.

      RIP little guy

      Bless me father for I have sinned. I once put a used toilet seat in the recycle bin because it had a little triangle on it. My efforts were poo-pooed by the recycling truck driver.

      Most of my calls come through the PC with Nvidia broadcast mic filtering.
