1 Tomorrow, I will leave for Lourdes. The coach, the ferry, the coach, the train; the eventual arrival in Lourdes at about 1200 on Friday. In preparation, I have nearly completed my packing; yet I expect to spend (at least) an hour on the completion. Things to do, things to do - they arise and arise and arise. The bulk of the packing takes 20% of the time; the completion takes 80%. Good old Pareto.
2 I have been struck by the response of the people to whom I have mentioned my visit to Lourdes. First, all (I recall) have heard about the place; some have visited. All have listened as I have explained my role as a helper; all have commended. (Well, it would be hard to disapprove.) Secondly, none has made light of my visit; none has made light of Lourdes, a place which is associated with miracles.
3 Now I will have to close this posting; when I return I will add to it.
