Ahh, a pulley. I love my pulley – the authentic sound of the Scottish tenement is the screech of a laden pulley being hauled upwards. Connects me with my foremothers just like knitting with fore (sp. deliberate) needles does.

So the condensing boiler, which I assume is to heat your home, also has instant hot water? Or how does that work?
We have an old 100 L tank-style water heater, but I have been thinking of getting one of the new Japanese instant tankless heaters. They only work with natural gas or LP.

Training Videos
I’m currently engaged in gathering together a new group of intercessors for St Mary’s. That means thinking about training for them and I’m trying something that’s new to me. The idea came from a video that Kimberly Bohan pointed me to a whilst ago. It was someone talking about teaching calculus who found that putting…
