What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Seasons of Love: A retreat for gay and bisexual men

    As I indicated in this blog a few weeks ago, I’m going to be co-leading a retreat for gay and bisexual men in March.

    Anyone who wants to know more can find details on the retreat website at www.retreat.maniple.co.uk

    Pilgrimage/Retreating/Spirituality stuff seems very much to be on the rise and this is just one of the things that I’m planning to do in this area over the next period of time. In my head, I’m also planning a city-based pilgrimage but details of that will have to wait for a bit.

    Anyone with any questions about this retreat, do get in touch. This one happens to be for men only – again, I suspect that I’ll find myself running a mixed retreat for LGBT folk sometime too.

    Bookings are now open for this one and places are limited.

    This calls for Chicken stew (with lots of garlic, ginger and sweetcorn). If you’re too sick to make it – let me know and I’ll sort out a delivery for Sunday.

    ….surely this should be followed by “Humbug”

    You can also suck one help sooth your throat.

    A mixture of honey, lemon juice and ground ginger – mix it up thick like a syrup. Don’t scrimp on the ginger.

    I know Kelvin, but not about what potions to take, only that it has taken me about 10 days to get fully better from the same thing! Sorry to bring such good news!

    I recommend a large hot toddy made with honey, lemon juice and plenty of whisky. It doesn’t do you any good but it makes you feel better!

    The malt whisky and floating hat cure works best of all.

    You go to bed, put a hat on the bedpost at the foot of the bed and drink the whisky until the hat starts floating around the room…

    I often feel a hangover is better than a cold as you’ve done something you enjoy to deserve it

    Does a floating biretta have the same effect?

    (Don’t tell me – only when it’s snowing)

    Well, if it’s the same bug I’m convinced I caught whilst in Glasgow at the end of last month, you have my deepest sympathy.

  • Blog Back On Again

    I’m back. Here we go again. For those so desperate to know what I did on my holidays, I went to Dalmally and then Peebles to see some friends and St Andrews to see my parents and my niece. And yes, I had a lovely time. So now you know. No need to inquire further.

  • Blog Off

    I’m on holiday. Back soon.

  • Albino Piano spotted on South Side

    To St Margaret’s Church, Newlands yesterday afternoon for a concert. (Or as they advertise it on the wall outside, the Scottish Episcopal Church of St Margarets, whoever St Margarets was). The concert was very good. Our own Mr Oliver Rundell at the piano, with Mr Alex South on clarinet, and Ms Sonia Cromarty on cello…

  • Tales of the City #3

    The scene is Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow at 8 pm on a Sunday evening. I am making my way to see a film about the impossibility of love between two men, one from Nablus (a city of some significance to the Samaritans, interestingly enough given this morning’s Gospel reading) and one from Tel Aviv. I’m…
