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?

Then it involved putting on goggles and walking about in a virtual world which, if I remember, was based on Egypt. (Pyramids were easy to do in those days). Now there is the Church of Fools…

Wi Fi Blogging
WiFi blogging – oh yes. This blog is being written from the sofa using the laptop. Can now presumably blog from bed and bath too. Not that setting up the laptop wireless network was easy. This was principally because of the many attempts to use the University network when I am in the chaplaincy. Once…
