Here follows a brief report on my weekend.
Thursday – parents’ evening at the Captain’s nursery. He is performing will with some areas for development. We took home the nursery mascot, Mickey Monkey, for the weekend. So we laid on lots of entertainments for him. Mainly so we could complete the Mickey Monkey diary and keep up with all the other parents.
Friday – went for “a beer” with an old uni mate of mine. “A beer” turned into “many beers” and then became “too many beers and a whisky”. I actually lost count by about one or two. This is rare for me. Usually, I’m the person in the group reaching for another round when everyone else has given up.
Some nice beer in Cloisters. Billabong Aussie Pale Ale made in Wales. Why not? Went for Thai in Bruntsfield. More beer in Bennets in Tollcross. Home.
Saturday morning, perhaps a little off the pace. See above.
Took the Captain to Rugbytots. He was joining in lots until one of the smaller boys made friends with MLW. At which point the Captain decided he needed to be coached by MLW.
Saturday afternoon we went to the Big Rugby with my dad, my youngest brother, my dad’s best mate. Arrived very early to a) get a parking space b) avoid the scrum when getting in. Really enjoyed the match. Very close. We actually played well. Frankly, we were robbed.
The Captain got a bit bored near the end of the second half and wanted to go home. He cheered up when, at half time, I bought him a packet of sweets and a lace from the vintage sweet shop in the ground. Very happy then.
Saturday night involved a curry out with dad, dad’s mate and my brother. Very nice curry restaurant in Newington called Patakas. Very nice food, bit upmarket. Mackintosh vibe to the décor. Definitely the nicest and best posh curry restaurant within walking distance of my house.
On Sunday, my dad’s mate took us to Jamie’s Italian. MLW and the Captain had a birthday party for one of the Captain’s friends. They went to Pizza Express instead. So in the end it was just me joining dad, my dad’s girlfriend, dad’s mate and his niece (who works there). Lovely food, superb service, delicious digestif Tuaca – mmh the scent of vanilla and lemons.
Basically we spent the weekend eating delicious food and watching rugby.
When I picked the Captain up from nursery on Tuesday I found out he’d been running his own RugbyTots session during their PE lesson that afternoon. Showing people who to kick the ball from a tee. Wish he’d been teaching the current Scotland team.
