More outlandish weather has hit Scotland, as we note from the BBC yesterday -climber escapes lightning strike - of how a mountaineer and safety officer, Heather Morning, and a friend, luckily escaped electrocution whilst climbing Stac Pollaidh in Wester Ross:
Ms Morning said: "We were doing a multi-pitch climb on the west face of Stac Pollaidh when we got caught out in a serious thunderstorm.

Ms Morning said: "We were doing a multi-pitch climb on the west face of Stac Pollaidh when we got caught out in a serious thunderstorm.
"We were at the top pitch and felt really vulnerable. There was a massive downpour that soaked us to the skin and it was raining centimetre-sized hailstones. There was also a drop in the temperature.
"Twenty metres above us there was a lightning strike. The rock face was crackling with electricity.
"If we had been any higher there was a chance we would have been hit by the lightning."
A climber of 40 years experience, Ms Morning said she had encountered violent storms in the US but not of such a scale in the UK.

Stac Pollaidh:From wikipedia on the mountain
The name Stac Pollaidh is often anglicised to Stack Polly.
and of it's impressive sandstone pinnacles:
They carry names such as "The Sphinx", "Tam o' Shanter", "Andy Capp" and "Madonna and Child"
Tam o Shanter is a poem by top mason Robert Burns; Andy Capp a comic strip character from Hartlepool (a place famed for the hanging of a monkey during the Napoleonic Wars - the unfortunate animal mistaken for a Frenchman by locals ; see wiki), Madonna and Child speaks for itself in terms of my ongoing line of thinking, as does the Sphinx, the man headed lion statue from Egypt with a uncanny resemblance to Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh.
Bearing in mind the Christian name of the intrepid climber, Heather, then second last word to aferrismoon (I am no expert on Egyptian Gods) from almost two years ago in his post Blink and you'll kiss it:
Osiris [ Bone - eye] was shut up in a coffin and pushed out to sea to end up trapped in an Erica [ heather] bush.
From wiki on the green skinned Osiris:
The cult of Osiris (who was a god chiefly of regeneration and re-birth) had a particularly strong interest toward the concept of immortality.

Its 9.30am and the skies are very dark indeed , seems that we can't shake off these downpours.
Parrots sit on pirates shoulders and often get called Pretty Polly, though I never seen one put the kettle on.
Parrots may stand for the media- repetitively regurgitating pieces of hate .
cheers
Parrot could, of course, refer to Pheonix - re-generation ??
Cheers anon, thanks, it was a pun, as noticed by others, on polly,in fact a stack of polly's.
Cheers Ray, thanks for link, Keel thing is most interesting.
