    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.

      I don’t know how it works. I’m just grateful.

      The graph above includes both gas and electricity.

    Pulleys? I always assumed, perhaps unrealistically, that there’s some kind of centralised clerical dry cleaners, who take care of vestments, altar cloths,dog collars, liturgically-accurate black socks, etc etc 😉

    Remember to remove the clean clothes before you cook anything smelly! What about a wee rope outside? Hang the washing out?

    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

  • Argyll

    I spent my day off this week in Argyll, which is abuzz with rumours about who might be o­n the list to be the next bishop of Argyll and the Isles. Well, perhaps “abuzz” is to go too far. It is certainly drizzling with rumours about who might be o­n the list when it comes…

  • Sermon – Candlemas 2004

    The Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple.Normally, I focus o­n the people in the story and speak about Anna and Simeon waiting for the baby. Or the gentle, holy family lined up waiting with their pigeons with all the other holy families who were waiting to make their offering that day.…

  • 4th Century

    It strikes me that I might have enjoyed living through the 4th century christology controversies. Anathemas and Excommunications of opponents might have been just the thing for me.

  • 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…
