I am being hounded by reidski on account of there having been no posting here for a week. What can I say, the week was pretty uneventful that it didn't seem worthy of a post. This was coupled with the fact that I didn't have any political ranting in me. We did have a Fair Trade night on Tuesday with our Woodie groups which was fun, and came with bountiful supplies of Fair Trade chocolate, juice and bananas which were enjoyed by all, adults and kids alike.

YIK was cancelled on Wednesday because of a burst pipe. On Thursday we had a youth workers meeting which aimed to address some of the recent difficulties re behaviour of some of the kids and the dwindling number which I fear is attributable to fear i.e. some of the more neddish kids are simply driving the other less neddish kids away. The senior worker hasn't worked with kids, lets see, in probably in 20 years is my guess and spends the evening waffling about stuff. They want everyone to have done the basic youth leader training course, which is fine, except that some people who haven't done it, have been actively doing Youth Work for the past 15 or so years and could probably train the trainers. thewife and I went shopping after the meeting and got home just in time to catch Queer eye for the straight guy which is still my favourite current telly program.

Last night was a Thai green curry, which we cooked, it was nice but could have been a lot nippier. Tonight is quiz night, Lady El will be accompanying us as we are determined to win again, coming 3rd or 4th a few weeks on the trot is not good enough!

Before that I will catch a bit of the old firm cup game, followed by live action as Killie go for 2 in a row at Rugby Park.
