For those of you that have followed my past attempts at hill walking in recent years this one was a win. For those of you that haven’t in the past we’ve never made it to the top with our full compliment of walkers and in one case no one made it. This is our story.

We swapped a ( Read more... )

I’m feeling out of sorts and I can’t work out why. I’ve got a few ideas for contributing factors but I can’t work out the main thing that’s causing it.

The shop is dragging on and everything is, or was, resting on the lease being signed. Once that gets signed then everything else ( Read more... )

For a game that attendance was planned quite last minute it turned out to be a really good day.

Clare kindly dropped Bob and Mark off at Willie’s at 9am and since we were being good folk we left straight away so as to not wakeup Ang. Stopping to get breakfast ( Read more... )

This day was due to be a little different from the rest that we’d played so far. The reason for this was that it was a Corporate Hire day where a group of people hire out the site and if they want the site supplies a bunch of folk to play the bad guys. That’s ( Read more... )

The day started out at Willie’s house again. As no one had been in touch with Willie we were hoping that he hadn’t forgotten about the day and wouldn’t get a surprise as we turned up on his doorstep. This time Bob went with Stoo and the radios were packed away ( Read more... )

The day started out at Willie’s house again. The intention was for everyone to be there by 9am for a fry-up and then head off. We thought Stoo might be a bit late as usual but were pleasantly surprised to find him there before most folk. As Stoo didn’t know ( Read more... )

I mentioned a while ago on Twitter that I’d found a lot of old stuff from previous blogs and websites I had that I no longer have online. Prepare to be put through some posts from yesteryear before I get around to uploading the lot into my archives on here. First up, and for the ( Read more... )

There’s been a meme running around Facebook for the last while to do with 25 random facts about yourself. I hate doing meme’s at the best of times but something my brother said struck a chord with me. Listening to certain songs provoke such strong memory recall that it’s hard not ( Read more... )

On Friday it was Nairn’s 4th birthday. Somehow he managed to effectively get five days of celebrations and gifts thanks to parties and various members of our family not being able to turn up on his actual birthday which was actually fantastic. It’s possibly the least stressed we’ ( Read more... )
