Perfection of Smeagle-Furby

Sunday, 18th June, 2006 - after a nice filling full English Breakfast!

First of all can I say Happy Father's Day to all you lovely dad's. Hope you are all enjoying your special day and of course feet up for the footie.

Right, I've noticed that the Smeagle-Furby has some little rounding of corners ... so here to help you is the final installment I hope ... and you wish! I've discovered that once you get the purring right it is not quite enough ... having got another rather eager student to try it out. Indeed, you need to be able to add in the 'h' spit/gargle sound as in Loch not Lock. So, get that gargle now going and say 'hcarrrrrrrrrdbbbrrrrrrrhhoard' ... that should sort it! :-)

Last night we went out to a fantastic evening ... middle daughter and friends won 3rd place in a Playwrights competition last year with our twin town Sarasota FL. USA ... 6,000 applicant schools from all over the world entered and ours won 1st and 3rd places ... five of the winning plays and one exceptional entry for next year's competition from Dunfermline High schools were dramatised for us. Excellent writing skills these young people have. Very strong, powerful emotions were evoked ... and tears ... not so much of proud parents, but the content - stripped of the niceties of our conventional, appeasing world.

On the way out and back though ... we counted 26 bunnies!! They definitely are invading.
