I had a fun kick around at the Church picnic yesterday. My back really hurts now. Good pain, though.

Arrgghh!! I the pupils are going back to school. I need to move some around the timetable and it's too full. It's a nice arrggh though.

A friend told me that Seattle was full of Double Income No Kids (DINKs). Just wondering: is Dundee full of Half (an) Income (my) Cousin (is my) Kid (HICKs)?

New Hymn for the Church! I have composed a new Hymn: it's for Choir and Organ - think traditional setting with lyrics relevant to today. It's being presented on the 5th of October. Would you like to sing it?

It's scored for SATB - mixed guys and girls - and it's purposefully not complicated.

Rehearsals will be directly after Church and it shouldn't take too long to get it together.

Please message me here or email me for more details.

Please share with friends even if you would n...

String Quartet complete! Shipping to Italy. Boom!

Maria and Michelle are watching P&P. Has anyone noticed how out of tune the music is in that programme? I know I'm going to get slain for this comment, but the music's out of tune and it's bugging me.

Good day's work. I looked at the clock and thought, 'I'd better get Caleb up to take him to J.M.Barrie's birthplace.' Well, I'll let him sleep for 20 minutes. In that time, I finished the second movement of my String Quartet.

Well this is fun! I am 4862 words into my book and I haven't even started on the researchy justificationy stuff yet.

HELP!! IT people. I am trying to embed a form for the website. I am using Google and the don't seem to have an help page for debugging code. I have:

var body = name+' sent the following message: '+message;

var bodyHTML = '\

'+name+' '+email+' sent the following message: \

And I am being told that I have an Unterminated String Literal at line 35. Line 35 is that gap below var bodyHTML = '\. You know, the LINE WITH NOTHING ON IT!! I'm probably missing a colon or somethi...

Point one: Headline, "England record medals haul at the Commonwealth games". Did England colonise or was it the UK? Was there ever a United Kingdom? Point 2: I looked up England win at common wealth games (just to check my facts) and Google predicted it as "England win common weather" and win had a red line to say that it was a spelling error. Is it 'win' that was spelt incorrectly, or 'England win' that was inconceivable to Google?

As a teacher I have to ask, "What would happen if I bit someone?" Luis Suarez does and gets... In any other profession, the professional would cease to be a professional. Stop calling footballers professionals. That sport is disgraceful.

Does anyone else have a problem with their Yahoo account freezing. Currently I can read emails, but neither reply nor send emails. This has been happening for a couple of weeks. Has anyone noticed anything?

Caleb, "Is Uruguay a third world country?", me, "Um...", Caleb, "We can't blame Suarez: he may have been hungry."

Well done lads. Germany played almost as well as Ghana.

I know that Sport isn't meant to be political, but ITV seem not to be showing the England game in Scotland. This Kingdom is not United. Just saying.

Ok so, dropped my laptop. I am using its dying breath to ask, "Do you have any suggestions? I am thinking about the ASUS T100 Hybrid. What are your thoughts?" gasp..gasp...slowly fading screen.

Love nor money: Man alive! Where does one get a good Tailor near Banchory? I need a jacket altered: any suggestions?

Gutted. Just gutted. What now?

I now have 54 pupils! Thanks for your support guys.

Kilt Walk 1st of June. I have just seen that the Aberdeen Kilt Walk is happening on the 1st of June. I would like to do it: would you like to do it with me. I'll be doing the stretch from Potarch to Banchory, rather than the full length into Aberdeen.

If you would like to do it, or would like to sponsor me - money raised going to children's charities - please comment here.

Drummer wanted: I am in a function band who is ready to start gigging. If you want a band that you can slot in to a start working, please contact me.

Crikey! Loch Muick was wet today. I mean it's a loch so I should have expected it, but the rain: I'm telling you wow.

This is the first chance I have had to get to FB. May the fourth been with you.

Has anyone figured out how to get rid of the blinking surveys that pop up every time I click on, apparently, anything? I have adblock plus, but it isn't doing it for these things.
