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.

Interview
Off to Edinburgh to be interviewed by Inspires, the national magazine of the Scottish Episcopal Church. It is all about politics and faith. Dress like a priest they say. How about a dog collar and a rosette? “Not on your life” says I.

Whom she may devour
Tilly and I have been out in the back garden celebrating St Patrick’s day by chasing away all the snakes. So far, it has worked. I asked Tilly whether she was intending staying outside all day, but she was having none of it. Indeed, she is now applying the same anti-snake treatment to the inside…
