I’d also like to thank Mrs. Doyle. She’s not here because she insisted on staying behind to polish the tea cups. Even though the award ceremony has tea.

That’s dedication. Anyway
Seriously, though – living on Craggy Island, you learn that small victories matter. Like getting the heating to work for more than an hour. Or convincing a visiting priest that you didn't accidentally start a small cult based on a misprinted hymn sheet. Again.
