It's not even All Saints yet...

But we're discussing suitable music for the carol service. As an unrepentant Steeleye Span fan, I'm holding out for Gaudete. Apart from being a favorite on its own merits, it's also seared into my memory from my years with the Young Singers, and so will negate at least a little of the nervous practicing which always goes ahead of these things.

And yesterday was my first Sunday Mass back at my home parish since my last operation at the end of June. One of the new priests at the parish uses incense, which is always a very pleasant assault on the senses.
