"SAINTS ALIVE!"

 Robert has a new saint friend - Bridget of Sweden.


He has mentioned a few of his favourites in previous posts - Catherine of Siena, Claire of Assisi, Teresa of Avila, Christina The Astonishing (the mind boggles) and Rose of Lima just to name a few.

This reminds me of my university days when I had about thirty (imaginary) girlfriends much to Richard's jealousy. Whenever I saw a nice looking fellow student I'd add her to the list of my girlfriends in my head.

What next for Robert I wonder - Ursula of Ukraine,  Grizelda of Greece or Kahlia of Kathmandhu?

Claire was no good. She was a sissy.

Best to leave the jokes to me son. You don't want to embarrass yourself.

When I was at primary school (and not looking up older girls' skirts) me and my mates were really amused by a guy the nuns called Saint Francis of a sissy.
I guess that the nuns should have learnt to pronounce Italian. Who knows, my life could have turned out differently.

No. No it couldn't.
