Manky Keyboard
My Mac keyboard is filthy. Really. It’s beginning to sprout legs. So, I’m about to rip the keys off it and stick them in the dishwasher. Oh yes I am. Muhh

BBC NEWS | Scotland | Blogging ‘a paedophile’s dream’
Oh for heaven’s sake. The BBC seem to have crawled down beside the Daily Mail in the gutter. The article linked below, written by an “expert” so misinformed she has the word “Cyberspace” in her department name, is yet another example of the press and government making deliberate attempts to frighten people. Every time something
Nothing at all
It’s a larf, innit? The summer holidays are almost upon us – seven weeks the kids get off. There’s no justice. Still, I’m sure they’ll have a great time, scampering about like lunatics. Matthew’s rediscovered the trees in the orchard recently, so he’s been doing a spiderman impression. Trouble is, the first branches are quite
Destructive little morons
Why is it that the above title fits so many kids these days? There’s a particularly repellent little reptile who lives across the road from us who only seems to be able to express himself by destroying things. As an example, my four year old daughter drew a little picture and stuck it on the
Nelefa has moved! Again!
It’s not situated in t’US, courtesy of a very good little hosting company called challengehost.com. Being moveable type, it was very easy to shift without any downtime as well.

Tiger Tiger

Blair and Brown duke it out
Gogs and Tony duke it out at long last. Big Gogs’s evil plan is revealed in all its Machiavellian glory. Or something.
No games, just lots and lots of snow.
It was bizarre. It took 45 minutes to do a 5 minute drive, because the wheels kept on spinning and the car was skiting all over the road. People had given up on our hill and just abandoned their cars at the road end, the schools were closed, and the kids were having a great
Prizewinner Feb 2005
Its Debbie here. Long time since I posted ;-). The kids and I went to a Prizewinning Ceremony and Art Exhibition at the Scottish Mining Museum on Friday. It was the Big Draw – Big Machines Art competition that took place in all the Midlothian Schools last Autumn. Various children from Tristan’s school had entered
