danieldwilliam | On a Weekend of Weddings, Wet Rugby and Who

This weekend has mostly consisted of going to a wedding in Glasgow, some slightly damp rugby and watching Doctor Who.

I have been fighting off a nasty cold. It was Year End Round One last week so little opportunity to take it easy. MLW has also been working over the weekend.

Saturday featured it being not our turn to take kids to football so I got up and made waffles for the boys and then had a nap whilst MLW went to the gym. We are a convenient rallying point for the P4 football ferry so we often have one or two of the Captain's class mates join us on Saturday morning.

More naps happened after lunch. The Captain had a mate round for the afternoon and then we headed off to Glasgow for the evening reception of a wedding. I like weddings. It was nice to be part of this one. It was on a boat on the Clyde. There were rum cocktails and lots and lots of drama folk to chat to which was all good fun. MLW made a series of compounding errors when ordering a taxi through Uber so we ended up on the last train home from Glasgow. This was a bit rowdy but okay and I'm well experienced with trains from Newcastle (who can forget, or even remember, Dong, from Newcastle?)

The boat was quite good fun as a party venue although the accoustics were a bit compromised by the size and shape of the internal spaces.

On Sunday I got up with the Captain, a bit of breakfast, then back to bed for a nap. Then second breakfast. The Captain had a birthday party then off to rugby for a round robin with various Edinburgh teams. That went okay. These things never run to time unless you have someone whose job it is to make them run to time. The Captain played well. In fact most of his team played well. There are still a few kids who aren't comfortable with tackling and a few kids who are messing about at training. One of the visiting teams suffered a serious implosion when playing against the Captain's team.

The weather was damp.

MLW was off at the cottage so the Captain and I were on our own for the afternoon which featured a big bowl of pasta, watching Strictly Come Dancing, then Doctor Who and then Strictly Come Dancing.

I'm still a bit poorly and this week is Year End Round Two.
