That’s right! Here I am!
This is certainly one way to find out what I’m up to. Â Another might be to actually ask.Â

New Photies
By popular demand (well, at the request of my pal Georgios), I’ve added some more dynamic and exciting pictures from our recent gala outings to the Gallery page. I can’t vouch for the quality of the images as they were taken by someone outwith the immediate Gubbins circle, but I think they’re shiny enough to
And another thing….
I really enjoyed my lunchtime practice today. Except it wasn’t really a practice, because instead of learning stuff or rehearsing marches or concert pieces, I was just playing some music that I felt like. So, I played “For those in peril on the sea” a couple of times, followed by a bit of “Home on
What I Need
is a shed. See, through a bizarre series of events, which I’m probably not going to go into here because it’s all a little improbable, I have a bench lathe. This is a Good Thing(tm) because I’ve wanted a lathe for a long time – since high school, pretty much. The trouble is, I have
A busy month
We need a weekend! Long-time nelefans may (or may not) know that we (that is, all five of us) play in our local Brass Band’s training band – me on Baritone, Mrs Gubbins on Tenor Horn, Son #1 on Trombone and both Son #2 and Daughter #1 on Cornet. Anyhoo, with the summer being upon
What a beautiful day!
Had a nice lunch break today – went and sat at the harbour and read my book for an hour. Being without a car has had one positive side-effect – it’s got me carrying my book around with me instead of having it sit beside my bed. Anyhoo – it was high tide at lunchtime

We’ve only had this one for six months – we bought it after our previous car quietly died in the school car park. Well, our current one has just quietly died on the way to work. So, much hanging about waiting for the A.A. followed by a trip to a garage where the owner gleefully
A word of warning
Being the cheapskate that I am, I’m using the Nike+ kit without actually spending 75 quid on a pair of trainers. I’m doing this by positioning the sensor strategically in my smelly sock. This is not ideal, as I’ve just discovered. My nike.com training program today called for a 2km walk. Dead easy, thought I,
I’m puggled
So, today was the Mid Calder gala day and our brass band were playing, so Mrs Choobs, child #2, child #3 and I were performing. One march with the procession followed by two thirty minute sets outside different pubs had us utterly puggled. It was a lovely day and a lot of fun, but we
