We have around five wild deer living in our garden. We don’t see them that often. Here they are just before they noticed that we were looking out of the window

James loved his treat of an easter egg. He is not allowed dairy and we had a couple of episodes after this – but hey he has to get a treat sometime.

Superb side kick from Cara. Oh what it is to be young! I’ll be honest I never could kick this good – even at 14.

It was a sunny day so we practiced some kicks. This was my best shot at a left leg twisting kick.

This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

It’s been a really busy week. If we start with the UKTA Scottish championships on Saturday. Ailsa won silver so that’s two points on the board for Dunoon

Sunday was spent preparing for the Gerry McGovern session . Monday was much the same – so many things so little time. Tuesday I went to Edinburgh for the Scottish Usability Professionals AGM. Good presentation around Google and search. I couldn’t wait for the AGM as I was meeting up with Gerry McGovern and Brian Lamb.

Great meal in wagamamas, however, the Jarvis in Ingram street has lost Gerry’s booking, the barman had cashed up for the night and moaned that he had customers – welcome to Glasgow! Gerry told us all about his trip down route 66 and his addicton to Walmart - great stuff! Managed to get Gerry a room at the Fraser Suites.

Wednesday presentation, at Scottish Enterprise, went really well and all involved were well shattered by the end of it.

Thursday, had to leave the car at Arnold Clark’s to get the windscreen wipers fixed and the bonnet catch sorted.

Friday, masses of web stats and spreadsheets in the wake of the McGovern session – ma heids nippin. Arnold Clark’s phones to say I have to collect the car. No ferry tickets so I have go the long way round. Four hours later I’m back home – guess what – the bonnet catch still doesn’t work. I think I need to get some sleep.

A policewoman comes to the door. God it’s disaster no. 6 – she asks for me. I’m in a panic!

Turns out I had dropped my wallet on the way to hospital this morning – the good luck part was that the police doctor had found it. Our luck has changed – hurrah!

Cara gets her hair caught in a hairdryer at the aqua-sauna – oh how we laughed. Rachael – who is at home in Dunoon goes one better. She dies here hair black ( don’t ask) there is no way back to blonde, Caroline rescues her somewhat by making her Ginger – which goes well with the red face. She’s down £90.00 We laugh some more. I’m down to one crutch now and get get about a bit more
