• 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.

    I have had Garlic Mash three times in the past week, and Garlic and Horseradish on a steak last night.

    I do not have a cold, so maybe it will work for you – or at least act as a preventative when am next at St Mary’s.

    Kelvin, have you tried mulled wine?

    Sachets with the mulling spices in them shouldn’t be too hard to get hold of (try Peckhams). They look like little teabags. Add a dash of orange juice, maybe float a slice on top as well. : )

    It might not do much for your cold, but at least it’ll help you sleep, which is what you need right now — rest and fluids.

    Also worth trying is a Hot Toddy.

    Hope you feel better soon.

    Garlic’s not a bad idea. I’ve always found if I have a hot, garlic soaked, curry when I’ve got the lurgy I feel better.

    What you need is a hot curry followed by a hot bath!

    This man cold of yours is lingering on a bit or are you “milking” this illness??!!

    What is a man cold? Don’t women get them too?

    It seems to be a widely held view amongst women that men make much of their sufferings when they get a cold.

    There is an urban dictionary definition here.

    There are some who say that the female equivalent of a mancold is the flu, but I could not possibly comment.

    If Ms Asphodeline is fed up of hearing about my poor state of health, presumably it will be quite a while before we hear anything about her own on livejournal.

    Haha, you know I’ll probably get the office lurgy now?!

    I hope you feel better soon. There’s nothing worse than a man with a cold

  • 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…
