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.

Theology Cards
I stumbled across a series of “theology cards” on http://disseminary.org/ which are just the kind of thing that makes me thankful for the web. It adds so much spice to life. I like the Tertullian one best – http://disseminary.org/hoopoe/pubs/cards/Tertullian1.pdf – Tertullian looks wonderfully grumpy you can imagine him growling… “What has Athens to do with Jerusalem?”(We do…
