Victoria Park
18th February 2007

We all gathered at Cardinal Titi's house in the middle of the night (8:30am), loaded up the carriage with Infernal Combustion Engine, and under the webdog's horsemanship, duly arrived at the park.

Having disembarked from the conveyance we finally found a table and suitable possie smack in the centre of the communities tent where we positioned the banners, artwork, stickers (brilliantly conceived and executed by CPR II and the webdog) and where we were later joined by Sister Salomè, Sister Rowena and Mother Desmond Three Three.

After midday, Sister Helena joined us and much joy was had ministering to the gathered faithful.
Mother Premonstratensia, Sister Salomè and Mother Desmond circum-perambulated dispensing blessings, much hilarity and gathering donations.  People we’d not seen for some time were met and caught up with. Drinks consumed, the re-hydrated sisters continued their peregrination from impromptu photo shoot to photo shoot dispensing cards, blessings and much joyfulness in their wake.

Ultimately we found that standing just beyond the west entrance of the community ten and letting people come to us was much more rewarding both for ourselves and the gathered faithful. We continued in this vein all afternoon until the whimple-burn forced us out of habit to steal away into the night.

Sated with salutations, the faithful, emboldened, were sent into the wider world, stripped of stigmatic guilt and ready to embrace joy.
We were justly buggered!
