A day at the parents; I said I'd go up and help with packing (helpfully it coincided with the rescheduled Scottish Cup Round 3 home tie with Wick Academy -huzzah!) but they still haven't signed on the dotted line so still no great packing frenzy as yet. So the boys plucked pheasants, Paw made pizza and Maw made apple pie; we ate, chatted and then headed off to Frothbank (sic) for what was a dull encounter; 2-0 flattered us; we missed 2 sitters, they had a penalty saved and our keeper had two really good saves, so on another day we could easily have been out. 

We drove home through the fog, a slight detour to Stenhousemuir to get onto the motorway and home for fish pie. She came over - her lad's birthday and he'd invited a bunch of his mates over so she wanted to escape the mayhem. We ate and chatted after the boys had gone to bed; a pleasant oasis of calm of an evening. 


Alex looking pretty much like everyone else after an hour of 'action; extra is Tom trying to keep enthusiastic in the face of rubbish 'entertainment'.
