Look before you leap

Well,here we are on Friday 29th February 2008, Yes, it is a leap year. This is the first ever blog to be written on 29th February and will be the last leap year blog until 2012.

Will there still be a blog in 2012? What form will it take? Will I still be a blogaholic? We shall see.

I hope you are well on this final day in February. As I was walking to the office this morning it was light! Hooray! The daffodils are blooming, which reminds me:

A Happy Saint David’s day tomorrow to all our Welsh bloggees or
"Dydd Gwyl Dewi hapus”

Talking of podcasting,next week’s will be a very special one,you will not hear my voice or the dulcet tones of Raymond Brown. It is mystery guest speaker time again.

So tune in to next Thursday’s podcast when all will be revealed.

Monday and Tuesday next week sees an Apex 5 revision session running here at Drumsheugh. I look forward to welcoming delegates to that one.

And there’s more: I will be in Leeds next Thursday, one of those day trips once again. I am sure that my carefully planned itinerary will go like clockwork – I will let you know.

Tonight sees the grand final of the Courier/CIOBS Junior Schools Debating Competition Final. This will take place at the Lower Parliament Hall, St Andrews. Good luck to the finalists.

Well I should get on.

Just a reminder to all Chartered Banker students that 1st Assignments must be in the hands of your subject tutor by midnight 1st March 2008.
