Interesting developments on the Moot House front. In accordance with tradition, the Moot House is dug four feet below the level of the surrounding land, allowing us to rise up - as from the dead - to greet the rising sun, and to descend to the depths with it as it sinks. However with all this rain it and the lack of a roof it is now full of rainwater. It is therefore with a heavy heart that I once again announce that all Moot House-based ceremonies will take place in the Dining Hall of the Great House. In the meantime the Moot House is being used by six frustrated male mallards and a bunch of over-enthusiastic anabaptists. I wouldn't go too close -you could end up unexpectedly falling into a new religion.

Rain stopped play
Thanks to ongoing sunburn problems I'm pleased to say that I missed out on last night's culminating New Moon ceremonies. The people at the Watching Post got absolutely drenched last night. Turns out that it had also been re-thatched with Twiglets. There seems no chance of them seeing the first glint of the New Moon for weeks at this rate. Still, what would a religion be without rules? They're just going to have to stay out there.

I suspect those mallards are excited about all the tasty little mennos.
ReplyDeletewhy don't you just heat the water and use it as a swimming pool, great for midnight bathing, open air and no need for more twiglets...
ReplyDeleteand while you are at it, build those poor ducks an island, I am sure you could claim it on expenses!
