What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Off sick

    Have had an extraordinarily quiet time over the last couple of weeks, unable to really enjoy being on holiday as I was still trying to get over a bronchial infection which has gone on for weeks and weeks.

    Back to work for half a day yesterday showed me that I’m still a long way from being fit and certainly not fit to work. The doctor has signed me off today for 2 weeks.

    I can get to local shops, can drive and am not housebound and I’ll shout for anything I need. However it is the quiet life for me for a bit longer.

    My thanks to colleagues for covering all bases whilst I’m under the weather. If you are waiting for responses from me about anything, my apologies, I’ll deal with them when I get back to work. In the mean time, please contact the Cathedral Office about anything that seems urgent.

    I don’t know whether I will be posting much on the blog. (I’ve got one or two articles written but unposted).

    This is what comes of not doing the blessing of the throats for St Blaise’s Day…

    Congratulations on outdoing the Moderator of the CofS.

    Now, like another Provost, will you get a wealthy woman to buy you a copy of this very expensive book? (That will not be me, by the way)

    Interesting juxtaposition with Grayson Perry. Clearly the article writer has seen the St Mary’s dressing up box!

    The poet Thom Gunn put ‘cheap thrills’ under ‘Recreations’ in his entry. I have always wanted to put that in my CV but have never dared.

    They must really have thought that they had got him at last. “Teacher, we know that you are sincere” they said. (I bet he knew they were up to something by their tone of voice). “Is it lawful to pay taxes to the Emperor or not?”. Some people are just too clever for their own…

  • Knitting Group

    The details of the first meeting of the St Mary’s Knitting Group will be announced tomorrow. Opinion is divided as to what it should be called. Should it be the Knitting Madonnas or should it be styled Knitting You, Knitting Me? It is fairly obvious who our patron is going to be, isn’t it?

  • The Timetable

    I found myself last night staring at a noticeboard in dismay. There is a proposal to change the swimming pond timetable at my baths club. No more long, languid Monday and Wednesday evenings of men-only swimming. We are to have a trial period of three months of mixed evening-bathing. Is this the end of civilization…
