Morning Pages | 11 July 2025

Pages, Camser, pages. The habit is slipping and my mood has been low. Is there a correlation? Almost certainly. I've managed two days of writing my pages in a row and hope to continue with it. You can @ me if I don't.

I have begun!

The First Principal of our Royal Arch Chapter on Arran asked me to be his Installing Principal in September. It’s a big honour to be asked and it will be my first time in that role. But it involves learning a LOT of ritual. Thankfully I’ve overcome the resistance hurdle and made a start. My method is to write it out over and over again, something that I can actually do in front of the TV. Once I’ve written it out enough times that it’s kind of in my brain, I start practising it out loud on dog walks. I used to do it up the Hill of Beans, where I rarely meet another person, but Clover’s not fit for that anymore. I might just have to start going up on my own. It’s the perfect place to practice lines.
