After yet more grumbling and demands I've agreed to lay out this year's pre-Yule timetable. Subject, as ever, to the promised alternative energy supplies that the Grimleys have so kindly agreed to erect. I'm hoping that this isn't going to be like their arrangements of five years ago, when the power that was allegedly coming from the heat sink in the duckpond turned out actually to be an illegal tap into the high-tension lines.
So: from 1-27 November we will be celebrating "Lesser Bling". Some rather tasteful lighting that could be confused for general atmospheric lighting of the type that you see outside pubs even in the summer months. "Greater Bling" starts thereafter until Winter Solstice, and will be the familiar National-Grid-melting combination of dancing penguins, illuminated Father Christmases and exploding reindeer.
The astute of you will have noticed that this brings 1 and 2 November into the period of "Lesser Bling". I will be issuing the All Saint's related arrangements next week.
It seems to me that your use of power is a little OTT, and costly, when an alternative source is available.
ReplyDeleteGiven the hundreds of acolytes you have - why not an oldfashioned treadwheel, generating power, if you actually cracked the whip on them while treading, they could break into a jog or even a fast trot, thing of the green benefits of this technology, think of the satisfaction of the Arch Druid, cracking the whips over the backs of the slaves, sorry, acolytes ad they strive to fulfill her will.
Thing if the benefits for their fitness and perhaps the chance to put in mass teams for the London Marathon and even the Olympics.
Yes, going green definitely has its advantages.
