This evening I was re-Installed into the Chair of King Solomon.
I continue to be the Worshipful Master of Llannerch Lodge No 9056.
Today is my Birthday, and what did I do on my birthday?
I was re-inducted into the Chair of King Solomon as the Master of Llannerch Lodge. I was asked to stay on for a second year due to the Senior Warden dropping off the ladder due to work commitments, and nobody else being in a position or willing to go into the chair. I was more than willing to stay since everyone says that the first time they go into the chair it is a mad rush of an year where you feel like you have no idea what you are doing. Then as soon as you get into the flow and think “I can do this!” your year is over and you step down. So having a second year should be great.
The ceremony was short, since I was already in the chair, we still had a feast at the mid ceremony break. In fact there was so much scones, bara brith’s, and biscuits left over that my work lunches are covered for the next month or two. Then the Festive board was great and all about me! It is a good job I have no ego, or it could go to my head. And all with the added bonus of it happening on my birthday!
This world is so hard and so stony,
That if a man is to get through,
He need have the courage of Nelson,
And plenty of Job’s patience too.
But a man who is kind to another
And cheerfully helps him along,
We’ll claim as a man and a brother,
And here’s to his health in a song.
