Have I ever said out loud that generally speaking, I think stained glass is one of the more over-rated art forms….?

Re: Will no-one rid me of this turbulent plumber?
Argh!Latest update.
I seem to be living in a parallel universe. I have been captured by plumbing aliens and have been taken to planet plumber. Either that or I am the living embodiment of a plumber’s online adventure game.
The latest is that there is a crack in the hot water tank between the heating coil and the tank containing domestic hot water. Thus the tank needs to be changed. No useable hot water until this is done next week.
This means showers instead of baths. (When will I get to think?). Boiling washing up water. No use of the washing machine. Fortunately I still have the dishwasher, which comes off the cold water supply and also the heating, so the house is not cold.
However it appears that most of next week will be spent waiting for plumbers as well.

Alternatively, you could give up hot water for Lent. -

Scottish Episcopalian
I’m very surprised to read the lead article in the Scottish Episcopalian this month. It implies that the members of the General Synod from this Diocese and from Brechin have formed themselves into a support group to fight to save St Serf’s old folks home. My memory of the meeting in question is that no…

Sermon – 27 June 2004
The gospel passage this morning [Luke 9:51-62] is presumed by commentators to be one that is full of so-called ?hard sayings? and difficult circumstances. Firstly there is the whiff of something distinctly racist about the story of the Samaritan village. Then Jesus appears to be encouraging people to follow him into a life of poverty…
