What's a blog then

Yes - I was there this afternoon and evening.....saw School for Scandal @ 16:00 - excellent cast - great performances all round and as it was the last preview show I suspect there was a little more adlibing than usual by some of the cast but is was great entertainment and the timing was very excellent.

The above was followed - after about 20 minutes - by 4 Poofs & a Piano (As seen on TV) and they were very different but great fun and a good time was had.

All this was followed by a Chinese buffet in the restaurant that is now where The cafe was that the first scribblings of a certain J.K.Rowling formulated into the story (and it is a just a story) of a little boy with a scar on his forehead.

Did lots this weekend including a trip to Glenisla Classic Car Club annual BBQ meet on Sunday - I don't have a classic car but one can always dream......and friends were visiting us and we were visiting friends so hardly a moment to ourselves apart from eating and sleeping.

Managed to catch up on Top Gear's final programme in the series last night - Thank you iPlayer - and what an unsual ending to the series but perhaps JC has got it slightly wrong. It may be that is the end of the American gas guzzling cars - i.e badly made, and the mechanics designed around 1950/60. Hopefully cars as exceptionally engineered as the new Ferrari and the Aston Martin Vantage will continue to be created.

Ah...now the cricket....shame the rain affected the match...but the debate is now focusing on the behaviour of the Barmy Army style of support - is it a good thing or bad thing?....listening on the radio you tend not to hear anything other than the monotonous drone of a bunch of drunks repeatedly shouting Barmy Army rather than the clever whitty stuff which they do as well....apparently

Well I am busy at work so briefly:

Weather started fab but we have had a run of sharp showers over the last half hour with sunshine inbetween......

Skype....I think it's really good for non-business communication - apparently there are security issues for anything more ?!

Twitter - just started looking at that - great for keeping up to date on the cricket.....when it's not raining that is!

Spent a week on the Ardnmurchan peninsula in Kilchoan.

Well it's been a busy weekend....which started on Friday as we were invited to a good friends daughters wedding. The bride was lovely and the groom was kilted and it was a great day, good food, good wine and good company and the rain stayed away. The only down side was the minister/priest who addressed his entire service to the congregation, including the wedding homily. The only time he lookad at the couple was for the wedding vows - but the rest of the day was great and more than compensated for this.

Saturday was a doing odds and ends kinda day and then on Sunday morning I skype'd my uncle and aunt in Australia so that my mother, who is 85, could see and talk to them - she has not seen them, in the flesh as it were, for 26 years. She was delighted to see and talk to them before she returns home tonight.

And Top Gear was back on form last night.

And now work!
