Advent

* marnanel kicks cvs a bit
<marnanel> Ode Written While Waiting For cvs update. There once was a GNOME CVS, Which left all my work in a mess. The updates were slow, the logs wouldn't show, and the bonsai's a pig in a dress.
<marnanel> Note poetic licence. It is not that bad.
<@bhale> marnanel: nice.
<desrt> marnanel; blog that, plz :)

We went to St Gabriel's this morning. I'm so happy to be part of a community where the people around you remember you and ask how you're doing and things: people are so welcoming. Things were very blue, which is apparently the colour people are using for Advent these days instead of purple, to give it a more Marian angle or something. Fr Cal preached about Advent and the end of the world, and how people are always expecting it, and some people argue over whether it's coming soon and some people don't and some people see it as a reflection of each person's death, and however you see it it shouldn't stop you working for justice and peace every day whatever.
Also, we tidied the house and made more holiday cards. Riordon is very pleased with her Advent calendar that my mum made for her. We had chocolate to remember my Granddad because Saturday would have been his hundredth birthday. I will write about him soon.
cvs really is being slow. I was going to review some patches. Bah. I wonder whether it would be a possible thing to switch FUSA to using bzr or git instead of CVS.
