The indomitable Fr. Z has been encouraging everyone to reminisce about what everyone was doing on this day four years ago.Whadaya mean, you can't remember?
Ok, clues... 19th April. Tuesday. Second day of the Conclave... When the Holy Father was elected...
Well, I remember exactly where I was. I blogged about it last year... go and have a look at the videos I posted if you fancy jogging your memories...
I remember the day clearly, the children and friends were all home and waiting to find out who had been elected Pope. When the announcement came everyone jumped up and down for joy unaware that our pet budgie Macius was wondering around on the floor. SPLAT he got trodden on, bleeding we lifted him up thinking this would be it. We then called a friend who is a Vet and he said time would tell what the results would be. Well four years later he is still chirping away. To the disappointment of some in the household!!
ReplyDeleteI was waiting at a bus stop and Puella Paschalis called me. Then we squeeled for about four minutes before taking a breath (we're both (ex)choristers). Then I tried to explain to my non-Catholic boyfriend what the fuss was about. And then I programmed a scanning electron microscope. :)
