Extensions
It occurs to me, while I’m sitting here poring over the net, and the mail, and the other nonsense (okay, Facebook) that I neglected to mention one huge resurgence in my life. Pilates was suspended for a few months, due to technical issues, until one day, during some very dark times at work, a…

Doldrums
Well documented swathes of time can hang heavy in January, usually because of the continued short days and long nights. (Other reasons are available). Should finally see the Cooks today, it’s been far too long. I have just checked my facts about the Doldrums, which I understood to be an area of the ocean (Atlantic…

They think it’s all over ….
Happy Christmas/Boxing Day/Yuletide all. Been all over Central Scotland to family, and of course those further away are very much in our thoughts. We were supposed to share Christmas Day with the Cooks and Frasers, but poor Callum has got chicken pox just now and we all felt it best to give him space and…

Suite sweet
Oops, not been here for a whiley, well, I had my appraisal to write up which consumed a lot of evening and weekend time. After 8 Mince had a very good gig at St Peter in Chains church in Inverkeithing; the audience was tremendously supportive from the beginning, and it was just one of those…

Capital times
Back from three days in the Smoke where we were delighted to meet up with chum Ruth. We had originally planned to go to both Cambridge and London but Paul’s operation made us take a more realistic approach. We saw two extremely good plays, Much Ado About Nothing with David Tennant and Catherine Tate, and…

Birthday bash
Yesterday Callum was one year old, and we were asked along to celebrate. Apparently I took 120 pictures, but when someone moves that fast then you have to take as many as possible in the hope that you’ll achieve at least a few semi decent results! He loves his car garage and his fire engine. …

Murrayfield try
Well, it’s a little bit funny, as Sir Elton once opined. Paul has been for a hernia repair op., and right now he’s sound asleep, so don’t phone. I’m not going to put any details up but you can text me if you are mindful. Hopefully sweet dreams for us both tonight. Last night’s for…
