What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Scottish Episcopal Kalendar 2026

    For years now, I’ve produced a Kalendar for the Scottish Episcopal Church with all the bible readings set out for the year.

    This year’s Kalendar is available online so that anyone can download it and print it out for themselves.
    It is available right here: Scottish Kalendar 2026

    Anyone who would like to make a donation because they enjoy the Kalendar so much and want to encourage me to keep doing it is welcome to do so via paypal. I used to offer printed copies at £5 per copy.

    The summary of the Bishops’ Instruction on Fasting and Abstinence is available as a single pdf here: Bishops’ Instructions on Fasting

      Red shoes may be worn by anyone sitting in the nave. Those at the sharp end know the rules.

      An exemption may be made for serving popes.

      But they’d match his red dress so nicely…..

    Popes may wear red shoes at the sharp end. Wannabe popes can’t.

    It is really that simple.

    Kelvin, I think that you should wear red cowboy boots in the sharp end! 😉

    I’m trying to think of what the ‘national dress’ of the USA is…I think that if I were there, I’d just wear t-shirt and jeans 🙂

    Kelvin is not wearing a kilt.

    Kilts, however, may be worn.

    I’m sure I heard a rendition in Elvish. Perhaps it was Klingon, but it was very loud.

    I did not attempt the Doric.

      Elves, Klingons, Doric speakers.

      All are welcome in this place.

      And to be honest, little would surprise me any more.
