"Once Abbot Anthony was conversing with some brethen and a hunter who was after game in the forest came upon them. He saw Abbott Anthony and the brothers enjoying themselves and disapproved. Abbott Anthony said 'Put an arrow in your bow and shoot it' This he did. 'Now shoot another' said the Elder 'and another and another' then the hunter said: 'If I bend my bow all the time it will break'. The Abbott replied: 'So it is with the work of God. If we push ourselves beyond measure, the brethren will soon collapse. It is right therefore, from time to time, to relax'"

So tonight we decided to relax and go to the fair that for two weeks of the year pitches up on the promenade in Douglas for the TT races. We went on rides, played games, ate candyfloss and watched a band play. Was a great night and we just had fun taking time off to relax
