14/3/2016 0 Comments A chat to catch up...Feels like a long time, Dear Reader. How's it been? I have been laid up with a cold and cough which has taken hold of Surrey for a while. The nasty cold lasts about a week and you are left with a cough which can last for 5 to 7 weeks. Without tempting fate, I think that after 4 weeks of hacking the annoying cough may finally be on the way out. My beloved Gunners season looks like it will end with them not bothering any silverware engravers. Arsenal were going pretty well until Christmas, but since then the classic combination of injuries and loss of goal scoring form have done for them. I can only hope that they keep faith with The Professor until a suitable replacement becomes available. Fairly busy time on the Scouting front. Pancakes cooked on tin cans, making a card and decorating a candle for Mother's Day, the Swimming Gala, practice for next weekend's Cub Scout Cooking Competition have kept Gibson Pack busy. I was helping with the catering at a County Beaver and Cub Scout Leaders Training Course this past weekend. 32 delegates on Saturday and 36 on Sunday - home cooked style lunch with seemingly endless tea, coffee and biscuit breaks, together with the associated washing up - I slept well last night ! Giggery for the year has begun. The Hinds played Koko on 18 February. A really sweet honest all-girl quartet, who genuinely seems so happy to be playing. I do love seeing a band who smiles. Jake Bugg played the Electric Brixton last Thursday. It was a good gig, even if the headline set was a little short. Saddened to hear that Keith Emerson, passed over last weekend. King of over the top keyboard showmanship and keyboard stabbing, he first came to my notice playing Prog Rock with The Nice, and later with Emerson Lake and Palmer. RIP. Enough for now.
Adieu. xxx
