Slàinte Mhath (slan·tchuh vah): a Scots-Gaelic toast

Hard to believe that seminars finish up next week. Just like that. Over and done with.

We had a wee get-together on Friday. An isle of relaxation in a sea of busyness.

I was forced into wearing my kilt for the occasion.

I was doing some work in a pub one night and this guy turned up to play an open mic session. He was brilliant. One of his songs was about his one-year-old son: "His name is Johnny / Yeah, I tell you, he's bonnie / He eats, he drinks, he sleeps, he poos / Yeah, I tell you, he's front page news."
