Quick update

Sorry - been away 3 days on amazing football trip - will update football blog with photos and story in due course. With only being at work for 2 days this week, there's been a lot to catch up on and I haven't had time yet.

As Jo said we visited Dad yesterday - here's a wee video clip:

I was actually working in Glasgow on Wednesday en route back from Manchester - but don't talk to me about banks just now! I was very grateful that Jo was able to come down and pick me up. Although I drove us out of the city as far as Little Chef Dunblane, I was too tired to take it any further. Great to be back in my own bed again though!

Saturday night and Sunday

After squash we had a whole aromatic crispy duck from the Chinese restaurant - pretty good - and so it should be at £30! We then watched - or Jo did at least - I certainly missed chunks of it - the latest Indiana Jones - not bad. Fairly predictable and easy to pick up on again after a short snooze!

The weather forecast was not good and certainly the wind started to get up a bit on Saturday evening, but Sunday has been fine - it was pretty calm, although a little cool on the golf course. Gary brought Luca over this afternoon and we watched Aberdeen beat Celtic 4-2 on TV - excellent!

Luca was full of beans - or should that be satsumas - Jo was feeding him endless supplies:

Like his mother, Luca has the knack of turning away just as the lens clicks:

I've packed now for my 2 day football sojourn - Liverpool - Everton at Anfield tomorrow followed by Man Utd - Derby on Tuesday. We're leaving early in the morning and hope to get to Scouseland in time to take on one of the tours.

I have to stop off in Glasgow on the way back on Wednesday and Jo's hoping to come down to meet me there and drive me home. Hopefully we'll get a chance to go in and see Dad.
