This post considers the question that Maree Todd, MSP, asked at this Parliamentary committee.
As an NHS employee of 25 years I will close this post with a similar question.
The role of prescribed persons from omphalos
My question:
Is there any reason why Government officials (elected or otherwise) should not be included in Duty of Candour legislation?
Nuces philosphicae – the study of the philosophy of words.
This film was inspired by the 200th anniversary of the Scotsman newspaper on the 25th January 2017.
As a child I observed with feeling. But I lacked words. I was considered backward by teachers.
I end this film with Sian who has revealed so much to me about the wonder of language.

It is both terrible (and not so terrible)
How much I forget
I feel more than I forget.
And sense more than I feel.
I am sharing the following images of Abergeldie castle in advance of a series of films.
In my proposed films I intend to share the same film track but to radically vary the soundtrack.
Polmaise castle is a pile of stones: little more than rubble in a dense forest.
About this time last year:
We looked at the map.
There was so much that we could not place.
This did not matter.
We sought adventure [on our Sunday off]
We got completely lost amidst the rhoddies and the trees:
In our adventure we came to wonder if both the ‘start’ and the ‘finish’ were some kind of circular?
A walker-by, who told us how he had enjoyed childhood adventure on Gillies Hill, kindly guided us to the rubble of Polmaise castle
Polmaise castle was blown up as I was conceived. Now all that survives is the rubble and the broken doorway. A collapsed doorway just as it fell: accidentally dividing 18 from 65. It occurs to me that these numbers are generally considered as being ‘landmarks’ of human age.
Is it time itself that we mourn from omphalos on Vimeo.
