That’s right! Here I am! Posted on June 27, 2008 | 2 CommentsThis is certainly one way to find out what I’m up to. Another might be to actually ask. -
New Photies
Posted on June 27, 2008 | No CommentsBy 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... -

I’m puggled
Posted on June 7, 2008 | No CommentsSo, 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...
