• 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

    No 4. I must be to the fore as I have 2 cameras that you know use real film.

    You may be right–and I hope you are–about film (which I use, and have had increasing difficulty in finding a place willing to develop it); here in San Francisco, there’s been a resurgence of interest in vinyl records.

  • 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…
