I’m aware that this cartoon was drawn for another situation. However, this is kind of how it feels to be gay in the Scottish Episcopal Church at the moment. My guess is that other people feel it too.
We need to pray for a different style of leadership.
Urgently.
My thanks to Dave Walker for making this and other great cartoons available to post occasionally on blogs and to Andrew Swift who drew my attention to it.
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.
BTW, did you know that the Norwegian for vacuum cleaner is stoorsooker (sp. conjectural)
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.
Yes – boiler uses gas, which is piped into the house, to heat water for radiators and (almost) instant hot water for taps too.

Your grandmothers and great grandmothers had a pulley. Why has it taken you so long to realise the benifits? It will also help you with the keep fit programme

Synod debates the 3% quota figure for this year. The way of calculating the quota distribution has been questioned from the floor by Catherine Meikle. Prof Peatie says it is a complex thing to do. She also tells us how work she believes has been done to save money. The motion is to put set…
