Just a Moment's Carelessness

I will, in future, never attempt to fill out the service register until I have removed my vestments.

This is the Green Set I bought while I was at Goremead, so I've had it a dozen years. Thankfully the ink hit the orphrey down the front of the chasuble, and I still have some of the fabric left even after all that time, so I replace it.
