Wrote a few more topical parodies, including the Scottish version of "Swing Low" when Scotland's rugby team beat England at Murrayfield and deprived them of the "dead cert" Grand Slam that everyone had predicted: oh, and a few weeks later I got to hold the Calcutta Cup - a magnificent piece of siverware, if ever I saw one!

Sang in public a bit more including debut in the local Folk Club.

Really her achievement, not mine, but my daughter got her degree in Sports Medicine: it was a proud day going to the graduation. And my son achieved 5 Highers.

Surviving all this and 27 years of marriage, my father-in-law's 80th birthday, a 25 year reunion of former colleagues,etc,etc.
