This weekend has been kinda strange. Friday I looked after my Godson and his brother, then had a pretty early night. Saturday morning I should have been heading to Peebles for a 10k race, but my knee didn't feel great, I had some work to do and there was an Orange Walk in town, so all the traffic was snarled up. End result, I missed the bus. It just wasn't meant to be.

So, I sorted out some networking stuff then met Allan and his friends for a few beers at the Basement on Broughton Street and tapas. The Basement was a huge trip down memory lane for me -- when it first opened in 1994, I spent a lot of time there. It went a bit downhill in the late 90s/early 00s, but it's right back on track again now. Wonderful.

After that, I caught up with Rich for a pint at the World, with real live Karaoke. Yikes. Today, I should have been at the Seven Hills of Edinburgh race, but I was just too knackered. Today has involved more work, a lot of eating and some lazing. Tonight I popped out to my neighbourhood cinema to see Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (trailer here). Quite an interesting film, well worth watching. I'm not sure whether it has made me happy or sad...

There is a great Beck tune, Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime, as covered by Baby-D back in 1994 (weird, huh?). The tune is now playing in my house, and my head.

Can I just point out to the viewing public that neither of us were actually singing in the karaoke.
That is all I have to say, I am going now before I feel the need to comment on the offside rule and what can or cannot be done to a goalkeeper.
Cheers

Good point Rich. The others were doing a good enough job of clearing the bar.

I'll leave you alone with your football rules musings. ;-)

Sorry about the snafu with the Peebles bus, I shoulda just stuck to tried and test email, but I see a gadget, I gotta give it a go, hence the email-phone thing. The race was good but very wet so you probably had more fun in the boozer anyway. I also did the 7 Hills, and although that was a good day out, my legs are still not talking to me. See ya thursday.

Yeah, sorry about that Steve -- just got your mails. The site-to-phone thing should be working again now. I'd been a bit over-zealous with filtering spam on that account.

Good work doing *both* those races. That has totally put me to shame! Next year... :-)
