• Equal Marriage: BBC Interview

    It should not be long until the Scottish Government comes to its decisions about how to move forward on Equal Marriage in Scotland.

    Two members of St Mary’s, Jaye and Ruth Richards-Hill had a good (and surprisingly long) interview on BBC Radio Scotland yesterday.

    If you are interested in hearing it, you can find it here: http://t.co/85R0zdoL

    The clip starts at 2 hours 31 minutes in – available for another 6 days.

    Kelvin, it sounds like you have the far more serious man-flu, not just a mere man-cold.

    Apologies for keeping you at arm’s length in Church – just got over a dose of lesbian man-cold a few weeks ago, which I generously passed to all my colleagues at work. Having been persona non grata for that I thought I just shouldn’t risk it. Service last night was beautiful.

    Kelvin,
    The hardest thing to accept, when you’re not well, is that you really are ill. The best thing to do is to keep away from other people and stay in bed with a hot water bottle, and preferably with a hot toddy laced with plenty of whisky. It won’t do you any good, but it might make you feel better.
    Get better soon. Andrew

    Wrap yourself up in a warm bed with a comfort book and perhaps some comfort music (and this time of year allows carol singing as comfort music). I would suggest hot chicken soup (hot and sour Chinese style chicken soup maybe) instead of a hot toddy with whiskey.

    Considered opinion on Sunday is that is was not man-flu, but provost-flu 😉

    ‘Tis the season. I have had it for two weeks now. The first week I was a good muchacho and just used cold pills to relieve the symptoms, caldo de pollo con chili (it really opens the sinuses) and té del limón con tequila. Because I know that colds and flu are caused by viruses, I did not do the Mexican thing and go buy an antibiotic.

    But then the fluids turned green and yellow, which is the sign of a secondary bacterial infection, so I am taking amoxicilina con acido clavulanico, and slowly getting better.

    Was good to see we had the Precious Provostorial Presence in our midst last night – tissues and all. And even better to see the digits getting some exercise today – suggests there’s maybe been a slight turn for the better, despite missing out on a most medicinal port – do try port as a remedy, David – MUCH more effective than trying dreadful things with my poor chooks, who are trembling on their perches at the thought of erp’s suggestions…….

    Are you languishing on your chaise longue with a blood-stained handkerchief held limply in your outstretched pale hand? If so, I fear it may be consumption.

    But no listening to Christmas carols, mind.

  • Going to Perth

    I'm having stitches removed from my gums today in Perth. Last week, when I was there I noticed that there was an Ann Summers shop, right there o­n the High Street.  I wonder what the Mothers' Union think of that. Perth must have changed a lot since I lived there.

  • Back to Normal

    Getting back to normal now after a rather inactive week. Did spend some time learning some new web-skills whilst I was supposed to be off sick. I'm impressed with Dreamweaver and have been using it to develop a postnuke website for someone and I feel very pleased with the results. It is not finished yet,…

It bears re-reading all these years later.Preaching to change worlds by.”I am happy…
