We’ve an exhibition on in church over the next week. It is an exhibition of art by Syrian Refugee Children. Its fantastic and a way of seeing what is happening in that part of the world through different eyes.
There’s a preview tonight (Friday) at 6.30 pm. If you’d like to come to that preview, consider this your invitation.
See you there.
Thank you for introducing the word “stoor” to those of us in the non-Scottish world.
Have you been glowing again?
Honestly, I think that it really says something great when they know, even if in a setting where they might not know!
I agree! As daughter of a C of S one, I’ve spent time in the company of more than my fair share. Some have ‘the aura’ and some, most definitely do not…..
Did we know that the Norwegian for vacuum cleaner is “stoorsooker”?
Huge compliment.
And any time you want to come here and be calm at workmen, feel free. Then I can be free to go somewhere quiet and just lose it, as I have been longing to do for some weeks …
@PamB – we didn’t, but we are delighted.
@Rosemary – thanks but no thanks. Being calm at someone else’s workmen is surely too much for anyone.
@Ruth – the day I was ordained, the wife of a bishop told me my aura was golden. She saw them regularly.
@Hermano David – You couldn’t see the glow for the dust.
@Ritualist Robert – happy to be of service. It is the perfect word for what is produced when you mess with chimneys.
@PamB – delighted indeed!
You couldn’t see the glow for the dust.
It is obvious that the VDW could. Good on yer.
What I now need is somebody to come back and be very very UNcalm at a joiner. Very very unclam indeed – new floor ends two foot short of the wall, and yes, there WAS enough wood. And good neighbour/joiner is hors de combat following a RTA.
Or you could try coming and being very calm at me, if your nerve is good enough.
And here is the final one of the batch of Prayer for the Day scripts that have been going out on Radio 4 every day this week: Good Morning Someone asked me the other day what is the first memory that I have. I was able to tell them and to date it exactly. I’m…
Here’s what I said to the nation this morning on Radio 4 at 0543: Good Morning It is fifty-one years ago today since the death of Cecil B DeMille – film producer extraordinaire, showman and master of monumental movie experiences. Cecil B DeMille was responsible for giving us epic expectations in the cinema and epic…
I note that that so-called “Christian Institute”, has a report on the Episcopal election. Apart from the fact that the headline seem unable to recognise the priesthood of (at least) one of the candidates, it begins, “The Scottish Episcopal Church has voted against electing Britain’s first female Bishop.” That statement is not true. The Scottish…
This is what I said today on Radio 4 at 0543: Good Morning It is a year today since Barak Obama became President of the United States of America. When power changed hands peacefully in America a year ago, the world had its first Black leader of a super-power. It was a moment of US…
