What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Wind News

    It feels a little bit like the Day of Doom here at St Mary’s this morning what with the weather. I’m going to proceed on the basis that it isn’t but here are some of the things I’ve been hearing via twitter and social media in the last half hour or so.

    • Level crossing destroyed near Carstairs
    • There are people on trains that are going no-where.
    • Plane arrived at Glasgow airport from Canada (ie through the wind) only for a delay in getting them off because they couldn’t connect the bridge to the aircraft.
    • Airports now closed.
    • Glass falling from ceiling at Central Station in Glasgow – everyone evacuated.
    • No trains running
    • Red alert for roads – ie don’t drive and pull over if you are in a high sided vehicle

    Whatever you do, don’t show these pictures to the successful candidate in tomorrow’s election. It might give her/him ideas.

    I think that +Idris was wearing a Cappa Magna.

    Maybe its because I am from the US, but some of the pictures made me distinctly uncomfortable!No, I am not “low” church. And I didn’t think that +Idris looked all that comfortable in some of the “long train” photos. It is beautiful, but far too Roman looking for my taste. And need I say that where were the women in this party? 😉

  • Picking up comments

    Just to pick up a few comments from elsewhere that need to be answered. Jenny Berrie – of course I remember you. Many a happy knitting class in the chaplaincy in Stirling. Now, remember all I told you: knit one unto another, perl one unto another. Robin asked why we moved John the Baptist to…

    I was leisurely reading through the lonely hearts column in the London Review of Books this morning – it is so often the best bit. As I did so, I reflected on the fact that the best idea for inspires (the magazine of the Scottish Episcopal Church) that I’ve come up with which has never…
