Heya aw, howo ye'r aw daein weil.

I hae faimily comin up frae Kendal the day, sae the hous is aw in an affy fankle an I ainlie hae time for a wee blog the nou.

The heidmaist thing I'm wantin tae say this week is that I'm warkin on settin up a Scots forum ower at http://scotsleidforum.proboard - aw ar walcome ower there, an please dae whit ye can tae spreid the wurd! It's gey smaw the nou, but I'm shair gin we bigg it up a tait it'll be braw. It's gey eith tae uise, ye jist register an post. Proboards can also host YouTube videos an aw nou, sae its a guid sicht better nor it wis e'en jist twa-thrie syne.

Jist ere I shoot the craw, ma sister's came doun frae Aiberdeen fer her holidays (she's at the uni there) an haes picked up a wee Doric twang tae her accent - rest assured she's no gettin awa wiout a bit teasin for thon at hame!

Sang o the week: Metsatöll an the Estonian Male Choir - Merepojad. Grand sang.

God bless,

Dunc
