unfortunately our long weekend is next weekend. this weekend just seemed that way! this is both good and bad!

friday night, taking it easy, early start for footy on the saturday. what’s that windy miller? there’s a new shower in your bathroom? it’s coming through the light? joy!

i quickly placed a bin underneath the soon to be torrent and popped upstairs. it sounded like a dam had just been opened, but nobody was in… 4 hours, 02:15, later the emergency police joiner came out to shut off the supply – the plumbers were all in pubs… luckily, in a krypton factor crossed with blue peter stylee, i had constructed a complex system of stacked storage boxes to divert flow into the bath!

saturday morning came too soon. a game against good opposition was not the ideal aftermath to the previous nights drama. we won 4-2. i scored, hit the post, missed a great chance (not quite a sitter) and also missed another chance due to our giant #8 getting his lump of a head in my way causing the right side of my jaw to engage at pace with the back of his skull. nice one. so, no shower and now all meals must be blended!

i drove back to stirling from glasgow via anstruther, fife. on purpose, i didn’t get lost. watched a lucklustre wales lose their game of chase the egg against the scots with gareth (who despite the name if not welsh) and his spouse and pals. had a great shower, with the light on. also managed the best nights sleep in ages. think it is something about being out in the country! the smell of the sea air in the morning was terrific. think i’d like getting used to that…
