On reflection it may be worth committing more solecisms.
A man of catholic tastes indeed. I'm glad to have played my part in helping you to achieve your state of redemption. Personally, I chose to listen to some Van Morrison and Kelly Joe Phelps (separately), in preference to cutting the garden hedge, and have just chosen Grace Slick to listen to in the car to try to change the mood and fire me up on the way to the start of a run.
