A weekend of both highs and also of lows.

The Captain had his particular friend over for  a sleep over on Friday. They had a nice time but I could have done without the pair of them waking me up on Saturday morning with water pistols.

Saturday featured cooking. It was recently my second step-mum's 70th birthday. We couldn't get to her actual birthday party becasue we had a wedding so we had her and my dad round for dinner. Smoked salmon and blinis, beef daoud and a blueberry and limoncello tiramisu. Cracked open a couple of bottles of claret, an East India sweet sherry and some armagnac. All very delicious.

In amongst all of that the Captain was mascot at BRFC's home game against Heriots. He had a fab time and did his mascotting with verve. His team mates held the massive flag very well and their game at half time was pretty good for a scratch game. It's nice tha they get to play in front of the "big" crowd. Sadly, the senior First XV managed to blow a half time lead of 24-3 in to a 31-24 loss. They seem to have a problem with the second half.

I was heartened to see the turn out for the pro-EU march in London.

Sunday - I could have done without being woken up by the Captain with a water pistol. I think we have now explored the full but very narrow circumstances in which it acceptable to wake up dad with a water pistol and also the explored the full and dire consequence that will befall any and all projectile weapons in  his arsenal if I am every woken up by a water pistol again.

Sunday preceeded at a measured pace. The Captain and I camped out on the sofa watching TV and relaxing. MLW working because she'd lost two days of work last week when the Captain was ill.

I have drama group committee. That was fine. Then home for pizza, Doctor Who and the Strictly results show, followed by the catch up edition of Saturday's Strictly.

I'm not *loving* the new Doctor. Something just isn't quite to me taste. I can't tell if it is the story, the script, the directing or the acting but I'm not enjoying Whitaker's performance as much as I expected to.

Seann and Katya survived the dance off. Probably fair that they ended up in the bottom two after finishing second from bottom on the leaderboard. I think that tells me that snoggate has had a limited impact on the public voting but perhaps negatively for them. They danced well last week and a weren't in the dance off. They danced badly this week and were not saved by the public. I note that Vick is BAME. However, I'm pleased to not see Charles Venn in the dance off.
