Upon stepping out into the street this morning at about 8 am, I saw out of the corner of my eye a person walking up Great Western Road, towards St Mary’s wearing not a stitch of clothing.
She walked with quite a determined gait and then disappeared into a sidestreet.
She did not come to the early mass.
Canada must never been forgotten. As I was reminded on Sunday when the serving team included three North Americans, including a Canadian.
When asked, my forthcoming holiday is to North America, because if I said America, some would have equated that to the USofA only – which is only part of my Fall Vacation (already lapsed into the relevant terminology).
Some of us would argue that Canada is to the US as Scotland is to England. It might also explain why, early one morning, on the streets of Toronto a man was seen bicycling along wearing nothing but his bicycle. Worryingly, it was not summer.
Associating Kelvin’s original post with Mary-Cate’s recent response….
Some may say that Kelvin’s observation on Sunday was not during the summer. Mind you did we have a summer this year?
On a Canadian theme, following Kate’s recent posting on her blog led me to 25 Signs You May Be Canadian. I am not, but having visited the country quite a few times, I can relate to the sentiment.
When you speak of Europeans, you are referring to the citizens of which nation? Oh, that is right, a European could be anyone who is a citizen of any of the countries of Europe.
Some folks forget that that is also true for the Americas. All of us who are citizens of one of the nations of North or South America, are Americans. I am a citizen of the United Mexican States, a Mexican, but I am also an American because my country is in North America, the 3rd largest in fact.
The South Side of Glasgow Kelvin!
What? It has a South Side then?
Squawk!! Hello? Map of the city, big wet river thing, down a bit, Burrell Collection, Ibrox, St Ninian’s… that bit. You know, terra icognita, “Here be dragons”, places where curates like Kimberly, Kenny, me and Dick Holloway were trained. There is a world beyond Cathedrals!
Enjoy the hols btw!
