I've just got back from a requiem mass and I'm 'king knackered. With all the standing up and sitting down, responding and chanting, bells ringing, incense wafting, etc. I'm going for a lie down :-)

What made it so emotional was everyone assumed she was going up to do a reading. They wasn't expecting her to start singing....she has such a beautiful voice as well.

Stop me if I've mentioned this before, but I played the Saxophone at a friend's funeral a while ago. It was "Autumn Leaves", one of his favourite tunes.

During this, a lady said to a friend of mine.......

"That's the sexiest Sax playing I've ever heard ...... and is he single?"

My friend said "yes, he is".

"Oh that's a pity .................. I'm not"
