Hell Begins!!!

Tomorrow it all begins...... I start a two week placement in a local nursery (pre-school). I will be surrounded by 61 children from 830AM till 330PM. It will not be pretty. They are between the ages of 3-5. And I'm scared of them. They cannot control their bowels, they have runny noses, and they smell weird. This will be the longest two weeks of my life. I have a hard enough time understanding grown up Glaswegians, now I must translate the musings of mumbling, incoherent spawns of the nation. Say a prayer for me please!

I fear this is what I will encounter for the next little while.....

Weekend Past, Weekend to come.....

Last weekend we went to visit Jessica's brother Matthew and wife Stephanie near Edinburgh. It was quite a good weekend. It was Burns Night on Saturday so we had the traditional meal of Haggis, Neeps and Tatties. MMMMMMM..... Uncle Roland was also there, as was Jess' other brother Sam, with his wife Aileen and newborn son Rory. So, what did we do for fun? Besides drink? We played Scale-Electrics!!! (Electric Cars..) As you can see from the pictures below. It was quite intense. Many grueling races. I had trouble however as I was not used to driving on the wrong side of the road.

Also, a rarity, the weather was actually nice. So we had to go explore the area. There is a nice beach nearby so we took a walk down by the bay......
Down by the Bay
Down by the bay,
Where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home,
I dare not go,
Cause if I do,
My mother will say,
"Did you ever see a bear?
Combing his hair?"
Down by the bay.
Down by the bay,
Where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home,
I dare not go,
Cause if I do,
My mother will say,
"Did you ever see a goose?
Kissing a moose?"
Down by the bay.
Down by the bay,
Where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home,
I dare not go,
Cause if I do,
My mother will say,
"Did you ever see a whale?
With a polka dot tail?"
Down by the bay.
Down by the bay,
Where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home,
I dare not go,
Cause if I do,
My mother will say,
"Did you ever see a pig?
Wearing a wig?"
Down by the bay.
Down by the bay,
Where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home,
I dare not go,
Cause if I do,
My mother will say,
"Did you ever see a cat?
Wearing a hat?"
Down by the bay.
Down by the bay,
Where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home,
I dare not go,
Cause if I do,
My mother will say,
"Did you ever see a dragon?
Pulling a wagon?"
Down by the bay.
Down by the bay,
Where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home,
I dare not go,
Cause if I do,
My mother will say,
"Did you ever see a goat?
Wearing a coat?"
Down by the bay.
Down by the bay,
Where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home,
I dare not go,
Cause if I do,
My mother will say,
"Did you ever have a time?
When you couldn't find a rhyme?"
Down by the bay.
