Shaky start

I posted earlier in the month about new year's resolutions, and I thought I'd post an update. You might say that I have failed in both of my resolutions so far, but I do have an excuse. Mrs Lanky and I are currently house-sitting for a friend, and this includes looking after a small menagerie too. All of this means that we have a longer daily commute and extra animal feeding duties, and the upshot is that there isn't a lot of time left to read books or say offices. I have been better on the reading than the praying - I'm getting through the Trescothick autobiography at a reasonable rate (for me), but my success with the offices has been less encouraging, though I'm going to try to break back into a compline routine this evening.
